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.

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.

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

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

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
