None the less Tasos car does appear to have a few little issues. Cam timing and afr's. It shall be very interesting if fixing these issues drop power to whats considered normal levels.

If so well... It appears Taso has stumbled upon a cheap easy way to make excellent power. Do the old VL trick, throw it a tooth forward or back.

Taso, be sure to take note of what the cam timing was prior, if it drops power throw it back to the way it was and bath in the free power and share it with the rest of us SAU goobers. :D

I'm still going to call botched figures.

Skylines simply don't make alomst 200rwkw standard.

As I said before, when my car was stock, it was in perfect condition, and by that I mean perfect. Motor was 169psi across all cylinders and 2% leakdown which is on par to brand new.

Made 140rwkw with 10psi and a full exhaust and FMIC.

210rwkw with powerfc added and 13psi boost, and toluene.

Dyno Dynamics Dyno.

your car might have been as good as new, but 140rwkw with a full exhaust is considered a low figure :no:

My car got dynoed today before the PFC went in, and the afr's were 11:1...nice and rich just like a stock ECU should be.

So taso's car obviously has something thats causing it to have 13:1 afr's

The graph almost looks like it has been tuned that way. If so, then I hope they also backed the ignition timing right off. If this is done, and fairly low boost, it may not be that bad for the car. This is certainly why you are getting so much power, as there are great gains to be made when you run it leaner, however you have to offset the risks of pinging etc.

Yea it will be very interesting. If I drop 20kW tho I reckon i will put it back to where it was as its not pinging yet. Only disadv is I'll have to use octane booster everytime i fill up jus to be sure. I wonder id leaving it as is and using a SAFC to richen it up a bit will make it still produce the same power?

it is true that dyno is only a tool for tuning, but none the less when there is such a large discrepency you shouldnt just generalise it like that and forget about it.

theres no need to be changing anything like your pump or FPR, why dont you instead *TEST* them. in one simple test you can check both, its called 'checking fuel pressure'.

any workshop with a dyno should have a fuel pressure gauge, get them to hook it up and run it on the dyno (workshop is useless for not doing it already). if fuel pressure isnt sitting at what is stock for RB's then it could be your FPR, if it holds pressure down low, but it starts to taper off up top, then thats indicative of a dying fuel pump.

being that the power figure is a little happy, the actual wideband meter may not be correctly calibrated either(ie useless workshop). solution ? goto another workshop and get a second opinion/another dyno run for comparison

Was wondering, could a faulty o2 sensor cause the car to run lean?

Yes. I would not usually say this but for the first time ever I saw a standard nissan ECU apply closed loop fuel corrections in open loop. If the tune is overly rich in closed loop then you could have negative LTFT number that are being applyed at open causing it to lean out. Whats the code on the ECU? The ECU is I saw this ocur on was MECR-212?

I'm only saying this if you are sure you've check everything else is sweet and you've exhausted every other option.

Interesting theory, ive never hear of this before. If ur talking about the code on the side of the ECU ill check it 2moro and post it up. I'll also check the fuel pressure on the next dyno run.

I highly doubt the dyno is wrong, coz every single person i've been in the car in says is feels like a mid 13sec car, and i havent told them about 190rwkW so its not biased.

In regards to what u said ROb, is there anyway of checking that this negative loop thing is happening on my car? And if so how did u guys fix it?

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
