hey...

I had my GTS r32 dynoed about 1 1/2 years ago, mods were a 2 1/4inch exhaust and a k&n pod (which is actually on an adapter thats about 1 -2mm smaller that the afm opening) with no cold air induction..

Heres my dyno chart, i had lost it for quite some time but found it the other day and started to have a really good look at it.

rb20de dyno

As you can probably tell by the speed it would have been done in 3rd gear which isnt right i know but...

I noticed that my peak power was reached at about 5700-5800rpm, the power then seems to drop off significantly after this, thats what i find quite odd. This engine stock should be producing its peak power at 6100or something like that but by the time iv reached those revs the powers already dropping off quite quickly.

Is there anything that anyone can suggest that could be going wrong there to make the engine stop producing power where it does?? Is it possible that the dyno reading was setup wrong therefore meaning that the speed shown on the graph does not match that of the revs that i have plotted on there?.

Its hard to say for sure but when the car was new to me it used to come on power at about 5000rpm and pretty much maintain that pull right through to about 6500 and only slightly drop off by the time i would shift at 7000rpm. Now the car seems to all ova sudden go quite hard as soon as i huit about 5grand but die off again quite drammatically after this point.

In a way im kind of hopeing theres something only simple wrong so meaning that when fixed the motor should continue to make more power right up untill atleast where it makes it stock from the factory.Im wondering if it is my pod setup though thats sent things a bit wierd.. i should really do it properly and mount it down in the front bar and use the right adapter for it..i know people that have gained about 2.5 to 3kw's at the wheels by doing this..( a neck breaking difference i know, LOL :yes: )

Any input appreciated... cheers!

have your AFRs cleaned up, it won't entirely solve your problem - but it is a little over the shop. do you have an SAFC, ecu, chip or anything?

as to your power issue, the graph looks fine to me - but you've had history with the car, so just start troubleshooting. have a fiddle with your pod filter, service the car, look into timing advance/retard, etc.

that said - the dyno always feels/drives differently to when your actually on the street, so don't take it as gospel. does it "feel" slower to you?

Well the cars just clocked over 149 000 km's and it would appear to be the factory standard cat going by what it looked like when i got the got. i doubt the jap owner would hav changed it in the 90 000kms he they had the car for.. You think my cat could be killing off some of the power?

nah its the stock ecu etc... iv been told of someone that can do a remap for really cheap for me that might help things along a bit..

i just spent a few hours re-drilling and cleaning up my pod adapter and I THINK the car seems to be pulling a bit harder up top, but id say the biggest thing that has changed is the engine seems to respond a bit better now iv mucked around with it a bit.

Cubes, so you think its normal that my peak power is coming on before what nissan quote for my motor and already start dropping off hardcore by time it reaches that point, i would have thought that having a pod and exhaust would have pushed it up further if anything..

cheers

The RPM data on the bottom of the sheet seems to jump around everywhere. Speed versus RPM will remain constant in one gear. From what I can make out, your RPM jumps from as little as 600rpm per 15km/h increase to 1000rpm per 15km/h increase in speed. This can not happen. Until you can find out your actual RPM I wouldn't bother trying to work out anything, it looks like a normal dynograph to me.

Hey mate,

I've got an r-32 GTS too, I can't really help you with the graph business caus I don't have a great deal of knowledge when it comes to dyno's, but I noticed you said about mounting the Pod in your front bar, how do you do that without cutting into your chassis?

I have had a good look and I can't seem to find any route to cold air?

Sorry for the off topic ness lol

your graph doesn't look that bad for a stock ecu. i'd say that is pretty close to what it should make.

when i had a SSS pulsar (natro sr20) i put it on the dyno and got a similar readout. graph was a little bit more stagered than that. and got about 2kw less.

then my last car before my skyline had a dead smooth curve. no rough spots. the dyno guy said it was one of the smoothest curves he had ever seen. it was a '00 magna with a stock ecu and full exhaust.

    • I have no hard data to report, but I have to say, having driven it to work and back all week, mostly on wet roads (and therefore mostly not able to contemplate anything too outrageous anywhere)..... it is real good. I turned the boost controller on, with duty cycle set to 10% (which may not be enough to actually increase the boost), and the start boost set to 15 psi. That should keep the gate unpressurised until at least 15 psi. And rolling at 80 in 5th, which is <2k rpm, going to WOT sees the MAP go +ve even before it crosses 2k and it has >5 psi by the time it hits 90 km/h. That's still <<2.5k rpm, so I think it's actually doing really well. Because of all the not-quite-ideal things that have been in place since the turbo first went on, it felt laggy. It's actually not. The response appears to be as good as you could hope for with a highflow.
    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
    • Oh, it's been done. You just run a wire out there and back. But they have been known to do coolant temp sensors, MAP sensors, etc. They're not silly (at Regency Park) and know what's what with all the different cars.
    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
