Take the car to the drags again. If your terminal speed is up on last time then no drama.

No harm in having a safe tune, dyno's are only a tuning tool.

Looking at the graph against AFR can help tell you if there is more in it to extract of course, the final number is not important. It is the change in number and it's magnitude across the graph that indicates good things.

Don't get hung up on dyno comparisons, whats the point in having a peice of paper that says 200rwkw if someone can show you one with 170rwkw for the same type of car. A that car is faster and more powerfull where it shows up and where it counts, on the track.I lost count of the number of times I've seen it and the number of people who don't get it years ago.

Just don't sweat it mate.

Well written..i guess it the knowledge of knowing whether your car is running safe and giving you the HP you need. I too don't believe in number...just want my ride to be reliable with many years of joyride left in it. Cheers!

Wot he said above, i agree!! but in saying that every1 would want their car to be making as much pwr at the wheels as possible. I would be disapointed with that personally considering wots been done. Before i put on my pod and was still running standard boost i was making 183rwkws. on my 34 now i got safc2, 3" kakimoto, pod running 0.8 and i made just over 200. Id be getting a 2nd oppinion. Just book it in 4 a pwr run, for like $50 and if ur AFR's are looking crazy on the 2nd dyno get them to do a retune and see wot it gets then. :D

Sounds about right...

Mine's putting out 186 rwkw @ .8 bar on a safe tune with the following mods (also runs 13.9 down the strip @ 100mph on a crap 60ft):

Apexi pod filter

Power FC

Blitz EBC

Front pipe

High flow cat

Cat back zorst

... running standard SMIC and turbo though and wouldn't even contemplate boosting any higher than .8 bar without a turbo that can cope with it.

Cheers.

There seems to be a bit of a pattern here, a lot of the guys that are quoting higher boost levels are actually seeing less power. This seems to indicate that possibly other things need to be changed for it to be worth while running the car at such high boost levels.

I'm not saying this is conclusive, but there is such a thing as too much boost. I'd like to know what would happen with the same car with the boost wound down to more like 10 -12 psi. Perhaps the car is getting excessive knock or something?

Also I'm not sure what pressure the intake valves can take before they start to have trouble shutting, I've heard that this can sometimes be an issue.

Personally just from seeing cars on a dyno day, of the cars that were running high boost levels it was only the ones that were well soughted out that were pulling deacent figures, all others were dissapointed.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
