Hi ppls,

my R34 GT-T had its first dyno last week. Im pretty happy my tuner managed to squeeze 194rwkw out of it at 14psi on the std turbo, virtually on the limit. I think he managed to do it coz the engine n turbo is in good knick. Wot do u guys think from the dyno graphs? A/F ratios still safe? Knocks were between 13-20 during the tune i was told, i only give it a squirt now n again, its not a track car as yet, i noticed that knocks were around 15 usually.

Mods - Power FC & boost controller, turbobak with split, FMIC, pod, BOV, plugs gapped at 0.7.

Any comments welcome.

Cheers.

at 14 psi, well not sure why but i have an R33 with 73k on the odo, with same mods and i managed 187rwKw at 10.2 psi.

Seams low, but the stock turbo is only good for 12 psi, after that it just pushes more hot air in, as it is ineficient.

My map however looks more like this.

Well done.

Is it just my eyes or is that a VERY rough power curve? Why is it all over the place, especially with a PFC installed? Even stock ECU power curves look more "even" than that.

Won't comment on the power figure, it's believable.

have you ever tested this, or are just saying it because everyone else does? i have the stock r33 turbo running at 14psi, and it is noticably better than 12psi, which i used to run it at. i'm putting it on a dyno in a few weeks time so i'll be able to do before and after runs.

Yes i have, well i have looked at the stock Turbo maps, the turbo will definatly go better at 14 psi, it still flows more air, but it drops almost 36% in efficiency. So you are getting hotter air at 14 psi with lower efficiency, meaning that the turbo has to work harder, hence shortining the life span.

the gain form 12 to 14 psi will be marginal unless you have a very good intercooler.

Having said all that, i don't think anyone has done any dyno runs so this would be great. see what you get.

Forget the whole hot air thing. 12-12.5 psi on the street I think is safe. The fact is that if you run 14psi all the time you will have to be very lucky for the turbo to live long.

Just because your grandma smoked a pack a day and lived to 90 doesn't mean that millions didn't die of lung cancer. No one gives a f**k about the odd one that survives. We just say congratulations, you are rare.

Power is good.

I think the curve is rough because they are both single runs. Dyno operators often print an average run which smooths it out. Also, when you have under 200rwkw you have a higher reolution on the page compared to someone with another 50-100-200 more.

It seems looking at the power flattening and even dipping late in the rev range on the high boost setting that you have a restriction in either the intake or exhaust or both. This is confirmed by the boost dropping off. Are you still running the stock cat? I guess it could also be a crap boost controller. The stock actuator should have no problems holding that amount of boost.

I know what you mean any more than about 11psi in mine and I seem to loose top end, mid range increases but I defently loose top end.

10-12 psi max for dayly driving if you plan a mountain run or a track day 10psi is the max id go.

My R33 made 195.6rwkw at 10psi, dyno dynamatics, shootout mode at ICE performance. Similar mods but I have SAFC instead of power FC

cheers

I'd be asking for a refund on the tune... its pretty average mate.

Certainly needs a bit of work.

The power curve should be smooth, and this would reflect smooth power delivery... you graph is all over the place.

And back it off to 12psi, otherwise you risk it dying.

Some do, some dont... so its your own gamble :ninja:

i agree with what r31nismoid said.

OMG WE ACTUALLY AGREE...yay now im going to the pub to get trashed....

cheers.

i agree. Your power curve is very erratic. The curve is what you'd expect from a std ecu. not a pfc. Put the boost down a little, an if the pfc is tuned properly then you will get more power, and more importantly a smooth power curve, hence a smoother and better power delivery which you will notice on the road.

Also i feel it is too rich at 11.2:1. Try and get it closer to 12:1.

Forget the whole hot air thing. 12-12.5 psi on the street I think is safe. The fact is that if you run 14psi all the time you will have to be very lucky for the turbo to live long.

Could my power curve be rough becoz they r individual runs like Abo Bob mentioned? Are those smooth graphs u guys posted a average power run? Just wondering?? Abo Bob - im running BATMBL's 5" body cat so i wouldn't have thought that it was a restriction, also have BATMBL's split dump & a Blitz NUR catback so i would have thought there should be minimal restrictions there. Boost Ctrl is the Apexi Power FC EBC, wouldn't have thought that was crap either. I can't think of wot else could be restricting it :laugh:

Also does anyone have any idea wot the lower graph with Lb on the right vertical axis reads? I thought it was torque at first but after converting Ft Lb(assuming thats wot it is) to Nm, it cant be torque.

Well, you have to take into account that the stock turbo is running out of puff.

it wont hold much more than 12 psi up top when tuned as it simply isn't big enough too.

Torque can be either in foot/pounds or kilograms/centimeter.

Mate; my friend's R34GTT in AUTO with nothing but a Std ECU ran 194rwkw and the curve was A LOT smoother than yours :laugh:

Glad that my immediate reaction from seeing your graph is shared by a few others.

You have a PFC; your graph should be smooth as all hell!

Nope.

I've never seen someone "average" runs and print that out.

Not saying its not possible... But your run is all over the place which is basically a poor tune

    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
