no only 2wd dyno....

but can very easily tune gtr's etc by pulling out the front drive shaft

most places will be anywhere from 100-150 per hour on a dyno, but u gotta remember, is it worth being a stingy tight ass and save 50 and have ya car run like crap or blow up????

no1 rule, always do things properley, cos youl end up havin to fix the cheap crap and end up spending more anywayz...

sam knows his stuff....take it down and talk to him...they r not out to 'sting' any1, they r all good guys down there

Just a quick question about Dyno tuning.....

I have an R33 GTST S2. If I got my unit tuned what do they actually tune? My understanding is that the R33 ECU unlike R32 and R34 is not open to modifications.

So on the dyno what can be done with my car, I am confident that the Factory ECU is set to run very rich, you can smell it!

Do I need a piggy back computer before getting on the dyno or can it be tuned reasonably without the addition of an aftermarket computer?

I am not looking for a 10 second drag car just want the thing running at its optimum.

Ideas anyone?

Well the whole reason im looking to get it tuned is basically just to see what sorta power its producing at the wheels and also just to make sure everything you mentioned as in timing, etc.. is all good.

Davepro perfromance will probably do all that for me so i will probably just end up going in for a power run.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
