Hi guys

I was wondering for a stock R33 GTST what is the 'average' (if there is such a thing) rear wheel kilowatts.

From the flywheel it is around 185kW?

I read in a performance mag that rwkW is around 120-135. WTF? Is there that much kW lost? That would be pretty inefficient then.

Also, what effect would 3" dump back zorst do to that rwkW? How much on 'average' increase in kW would you expect?

Cheers

kW

For a start i dont know if u got it but i would get a filter ,either pod or in box k&n.A dyno will help your car run its optimum for the set up u have .Some dyno places recon they can get another 10=15psi just by dyno tune ..With the standard ecu there isnt tooo much to change.I would get it dyno to give u a starting figure before any mods.Also my r33 ran better at 10psi than it does on 12 psi,so things like this u can set up on a dyno.

Hi guys, we have had over 20 standard R33 GTST's on the dyno, with kilometres from 10,000 top 130,000. The power output hardly varies in Shootout mode with temperature and humidity compensation loaded. The only time we see low numbers we find poor compression or other problems, fuel pumps, fuel regs, plugs etc. If it leaks down less than 25% and the support stuff is in good condition, they always make 120 to 130 rwkw.

We have found the same with RB20DET's, they are very consistent and always make 105 to 110 rwkw. We have had a couple with close to 200,000 kilometres on them and they test fine. Maintenance (regular oil and filter changes etc) seems to be far more important than age or kilometres travelled.

So to answer king_kw13 question, 50 to 60 kw losses through the drive train are very common.

As the REV said, they do vary, but we generally find that ones down on power have a support system problem or are badly tuned. The engine internals are generally pretty good and they come up well once we fix whatever the problem is.

We do find really bad ones, but they are rare. We had a 120,000k one in a couple of months ago that I removed the cam covers off and found great lumps of "vegemite" everywhere. Sent the gunk off to a chemist mate at Castrol and he reckons it had never had an oil change in its life, it was still the original running in oil.

Hope that adds to the discussion

its all done on one dyno in one wharehouse and run by someone who sets it up every run for the correct variables to an ambient temp of 24degrees celcius... it makes for a good comparison at minimum and a good general idea, even for anyone who wants to question its morals

when my car was dyno just after getting it off the ship it pulled 97kw@rear wheels, that was bog stock standard same way it left the dealership when brand new. After a good cat back exhaust and a small amount of timing it went to 115kw@rear wheels. I've used the same dyno pretty much each time since then. After fitting the front mount, boost controller and HKS pod it made 179kw@rear wheels (boost set to 12psi) and then 183kw@rear wheels after fitting the dump+front pipe. I would say if I fit an aftermarket ecu next I'd be able to just get over 200kw. But the odd thing is the dyno figure my car gave when it first got here, I'm not sure what boost it was running back then (no decent boost gauge and didnt ask the dyno guys if they measured it), anyway the power levels seem on parr with the other guys in WA with simular mods.

a split dump turbo back exhaust, as opposed to a single turbo back exhaust, is good for almost as much power as what you gain from a cat back. But a tuboback and catback exhaust is only as good as the cat itself. A full split dump turbo back, hi-flow cat and cat-back should be worth about 25-30rwkw.

Split dump pipe is a superfluous modification, a well made one peice is just as good and often cheaper on the stock turbo.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
