hi guys

just wondering what other dyno results are around on 34's.

Thes are my mods:

Full 3.5" kakimoto exhaust

A-vcr boosted @ 1 bar

Power FC

Front mount intercooler

i had problems with this mechanic but the car feels ok.

Should i get it dynoed/tuned again or is this result ok for these mods.

before i had the Power fc and FMIC tune i ran the car and got a 13.6@ 101mph but i was only running .85 bar(12psi)

cheers

steve

Sounds a little low given you're running 1bar, but if we could get a look at your dyno sheet that would be great.

btw.. that's on the stock turbo? just that 1 bar on the stock 34 turbo seems a little excessive.

yeah its the stock turbo. thats my point ive been reading everywhere that we shouldnt boost it to 1 bar all the time, but the mechanic that tuned it said it would be fine. ive been running it constantly at 1 bar and it seems fine.

Sounds fine to me. Remember a dyno is just a tuning tool/indicator.

Obviously time to time there are extremely bogus readings...

But i usually allow a 15rwkw variance for any given dyno on any given day and then you'll find most results fit into that variance.

But 190rwkw is pretty much spot on dude.

Some dyno's will have your car around 200, some 190, some possibly 180.

If the power graph is smooth, car feels/drives well... thats what really matters.

Although i wouldnt run 1bar... turbo isnt going to like that forever.

mate....that sounds real low........mate of mine gets 181rwkws with just .7 bar of boost and a exhaust and thats with no cooler.....get it retuned

As 'R31Nismoid' says, allow for +-15rwkw variance on different dyno's. There are that many variables that can affect the power output (Tyre size, wheel spin, dyno calibration etc.) and if you had issues with your mechanic he's probably tuned it rich just to be safe. Did your mechanic use FC datalogit to tune the PFC or just the hand controller?

To me that sounds spot on mate, I'm personally expecting 175-185rwkw with turbo back, pod and 10psi.

EDIT: Just read 1 bar, but even then I'd say its pretty spot on. After 12psi the stock R34 turbo apparently is just blowing hot air so I'd crank that down to 12psi max mate.

retuned? why?

Did you mate have his car dyno'd....

on the same dyno?

at the same time?

on the same day?

If you answered NO to any of the above three, then you have absolutely no claim to say its wrong, or it needs a retune.

anDru, you really need to think before hitting the submit post button.

190's is wots to be expected realistically.

My 34 - Power FC, turboback, FMIC, BC kit - 194rwkw at 14psi. That was during the tune, i dont run it anymore than 13psi. Like most have said turbo is just out of efficiency after that.

retuned? why?

mate that is a HUGE difference and not some 15kws u said.....compared to my mate...and i no there might be some diff with not the same dyno and not the same day blah blah but can a car seriously be losing around 20-30 kws just from that?

::EDIT::

i just gave my mate a call (he got his car dynoed again) and his achieving 200 rwkws with .85 bar, FMIC, and a standard 3" turbo back

i dunno man but "tough r34s" dosnt sound so good

Edited by anDru

My mate has a R34 with

HKS2530

dump-back exhaust

fmic

pfc -tuned at CHASERS

GFB bleed valve

spitfire coilpacks

made 207rwkw at 12psi but i suppose its got more in it.

My R33 has an safc, dump back zorst, fmic at 12psi it made 211.2rwkw.

If i were you take it to C&D Motorworks in Braybrook (Melbourne) for a re-tune.

A later model skyline with a Neo motor should at least reach the 195-205rwkw zone.

Diagnose your engine for any possible problems that may be preventing your engine from producing its actual power reading.

nah nah nabil r31nismoid said we all should think before we post about how a r34 should run......

because we are all stupid because we believe a fellow r34-ers car isnt running as good as it should

hehe he just said YOU need to ;)

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
