Hey Guys

I recently got my car dyno tuned. It made 252rwkw with an 8psi spring in the wastegate and no boost controller. Mods are: -

NEO RB25DET

Masterpower T3/T4

Custom Top Mount Manifold w/ 38mm Wastegate (8psi spring)

LinkPlus Computer

3inch turbo back exhaust

600x300x100 IC and 2 1/2inch piping

Walbro Fuel Pump

Sard FPR

I was just reading the "RB25 Dyno Results" thread and noticed that alot of people with similar setups required close to twice the amount of boost that im running to make the 250rwkw range. Another interesting factor about my result is that it was achieved with standard injectors. I remember posting on these forums before the tune and everybody said I wont make more than 220rwkw. Well, my 252rwkw was achieved at around 85% duty cycle.

Can anyone shed some light on the boost factor? What was it about my setup that managed to achieve 252rwkw at such low boost? I really found this baffling after reading the dyno thread.

I should also add that im really happy with the way the Masterpower turbo ended up performing. On one of my old threads. almost everybody told me to get a "turbo that wasn't from the stone age" :D and recommended a ball bearing turbo. Cant argue with 252rwkw at 8psi for the price of this turbo!

Highly unlikely that its running that high. Ive got a boost gauge, plus the tuner would have noticed. The tuner did say that it creeps up to 10psi at the top of 4th gear, but ive had a friend monitor the boost gauge while i was driving and it didnt budge past 8psi.

It doesnt really bother me. Im really happy with the results, just really curious as to why others require 16 or so psi to run the same numbers.

As for the dyno, a friend with an RB20DET and RB25 turbo upgrade (and all other related mods) only achieved 150 or so rwkw on the very same dyno, which he was disappointed with.So the dyno shouldn't be that happy I would think.

is it possible (even though the wastegate has a 8psi spring) that it could be running a higher psi?

cause i remember on my internal wastegated stock turbo i could run 16psi on the standard 7 psi spring.

did you have a boost controller? what setting was the controoller set troo?

i was told from a few different people that stock injectors can get up to 250rwkw. i just never seen it before

i got 240rwkw from stock injectors before and i had a crappy fuel pump (walbro) with a decent pump and reg at a high pressure im sure it is do-able. (and a happy dyno of course)

power isn't relative to pressure alone. its because you have a larger turbo, flowing more air for the same pressure.

if you get any turbo car and then replace the stock turbo with a bigger aftermarket unit, you will see a lot more power at lower pressures

NEO RB25DET

Masterpower T3/T4

Good to see how the Masterpower turbo behaves. The reason for the high reading is Dynapack hub dynos read higher than the world famously low reading Dyno Dynamics dynos. Dynojef and Dynapack dynos (which outnumber the Dyno Dynamics which are rarely used out of Oz) read ~10-15% higher on average it seems.

I made 274rwkw @ 15psi at only 6000rpm before we stopped the tune on my R33 on Speedtech's hub dyno... power was climbing steeply there.

I run a GT3076R with a stock RB25 with Nismo 555cc injectors, and walbro pump.

spot on

look at Champ cars- mega power on about 3psi boost, big turbos and huge revs

im with you, i have played with a few dynos in my time hub dynos always read high and any dyno can be played with to show more power to make a happy customer

okedoke...weird. I know most american results are abit higher then ours. Generally dyno specific as to why that happens.

Same thing i was thinking!

DRFT - is it a hub dyno? If so, thats where it lies. They read a lot higher than a roller.

We had a good example a while ago where someone made 450rwkw, and ran i think 128mph and "neglected" to tell us it was a hub dyno and hence when you pull the figure back to around 370rwkw - the mph matched the power much better as "hubs" is not Rear Wheels, totally different

So realistically your probably sitting ~200-210wkw i would imagine, no more than that

It is a hub dyno - as has been covered. He's clearly making >250rwkw, if he was making 200-210rwkw thats what the readout would have said. Its all relative, the dyno is a tuning tool etc etc etc. So, on that dyno - realistically he is making 250rwkw.

Dyno Dynamics is somewhat of a minority in terms of the dyno results I've seen around the world, only contended by Mustang dynos in terms of low reading - so I don't think you can really say his reading is wrong :huh: Dynapack hub dynos and Dynojet rollers seem to have some degree of parity between them.

BUt the moroso calculator doesnt lie, MPH and mass tell it all. Why not take it to the drags, measure the weight, thats the sure way to know how much power it has. By the shape of the power curve, i would agree with nismoid, if it was making 250rwkw on 8 psi then the boost threashold would be higher with a different shape curve.

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
