Ok, so my stag is FINALLY going on the dyno tomorrow for a tune. What's the guess of RwKW (getting done at UAS in Sydney who only have a 2WD dyno) ??

1997 RS Four V

Mods are:

BOS 3" split dump pipe

Catco Metal Cat

Trust Power Extreme 2 cat back zorst

K&N Panel filter

R34 Intercooler

GTR Fuel Pump

AFC Neo computer

SITC computer

Turbotech mechanical boost controller (expect set to 10psi)

Full service has been done with new filters for everthing, spark plugs, timing belt and water pump so running sweet as a nut.

The prize will be bragging rights for knowing your stagea power figures :D:)

I am running 4wd, but Unique Auto Sports only have a 2wd Dyno so they will drop the driveshaft out. I am hoping for 150awkw, so would have to be 160 or so rwkw I guess.

Will be a big improvment over how it is now though, which is the main thing :)

What time are you going there, Stu? I live just around the corner from UAS and have also just booked my car in for some work there (for early next week), so I might come along, meet you and see how your car runs...

you can just undo 4 bolts and drop the front driveshaft, but you will lose about 10kw.

Less power transferred, is less power lost.

You will not loose power going to RWD, you would expect to gain a minor minor amount, being its not fulltime 4WD.

i think the SITC will make it hard to crack 200rwkw with less load points but who knows maybe we can go around and drop the temp probe in to a nice hot cuppa and crack 220rwkw.

EGA4IT made just over 200rwkw with an RS4S and powerfc with similar mods on the same dyno as a comparison.

OK, the results are in and the winner is .....

Tangles :(

Max power 152.9Kw at the rears running just under 10psi. This is a Series 1, not neo motor by the way. And an auto :P

I will scan the printout at some stage but Andrew at UAS did a nice job on the tune. Power deliver is smooth all the way through with no dips and boost holds constant the whole way. Go the $30 Turbotech controller :) A/Fs are around 12 or just under too so nice and safe.

They did not tune the SITC this time as worried about detonation with the side-mount intercooler and I am driving to Brisbane this weekend so I think they are playing it safe. With a FMIC, exhaust cam gear and some more tweaking on the afc and sitc I would hope to see another 20Kw. All in all pretty close to what I was expecting so can't complain about that.

Goldzilla ... sorry I missed your post as my PC at home is dead and I went down there first thing this morning. Is yours the green one coming in for a 'trial fitting' next week ?? :O

Speaking of fitting, the Power Extreme cat back zorst needed a fair bit of manipulation to line up unfortunately. I guess that is the price of mixing and matching local dump pipe and cat with jap exhaust. A word or warning for others I guess, the BOS dump and Catco cat may not line up exactly like factory

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
