Hi Guys,

Finally got the install, tune and dyno done, here it is, I just thought I might share it with ya'll. This figure was achieved at 18PSI. I have no cams, just the usualy supporting mods, ie 555 cc injectors, Z32, front mount, exhaust etc etc.

272.3 RWKW. The Curve does look very jittery up top, not sure why?

Cheers

fair effort, im half way through putting the same turbo on my rb20, i assume yours is rb25?

was it a remap or you have aftermarket comp? what rear housing do you have?

Yes mine's a RB-25.

I have a Power FC, I and strongly suggest you get one to. A remapp doesn't have any where near as many adjustable parameters as the PowerFC does. That's just my 2 cents worth.

I have the 0.68A/R housing.

I would have gone for something like a GT-RS for an RB-20. Even in my car (RB-25) there is a MASSIVE difference between the stock turbo and this one in terms of spool time. Having now installed it, I strongly suggest you get something smaller.

Cheerio!

Hi,

Could i ask you to tell me when the turbo starts to spool and full boost say in 4th gear? Also does your dyno sheet run out at 6500 or 7000 rpm. so i can work out were the power is to rpm. Cheers

it looks like it is hitting full boost around 4200 rpm. and as soon as it does (115kmph) you are making peak torque and you have ignition breakdown. Are you still using original coils? looks like spark is having issues at 18psi. what size is your plug gap?

also as someone else mentioned it looks like your timing map may be a bit flat around full boost. 18deg would be the sort of timing i would imagine at that sort of boost.

either that or you are having wheel spin, but it looks to erratic to be wheel spin.

cheers :(

Nice results, does look very "jittery" up top though.

Pretty much the same power as my hks 3037 pro s but i am using 95octane and 17psi.

You must be running 98 yes?

Hmmm 0.68 housing wheel spin for sure on the street looking at the graph part from that you wouldn't have the data for the rest of the graph, ie: IT, AT, Gear, Shoot_6f or Shoot_6. just a query as it clears any inconsistencies and makes the graph true to a point., plus i wouldn't be surprised if the 0.68 would be starting to choke that high.

Cheers

The rough curve can be the sample rate of the dyno software. lower sample rate, smoother curve. Maybe spark issues, but that should have been very obvious to the tuner as you can see it, hear it and feel it

Nice curve though, i'd suggest your tuner didn't get on the gas until 3k or so. I have seen enough of these turbos on a dyno to know you should have 18psi in the very low 3k range if the tuner is into it from 2k and the ramp up of the power happens earlier as well obviously.

18 PSI was reached at 95 KM/H. I don't know the conversion of KM/H to PRM. About 3,500 RPM I assume?

Yes I have splitfire coil packs and platinum spark plugs. I'm not too sure what the tunner re-gapped them too, but I do recall that he did regap them.

Not sure about when he put his foot on the pedal?

I think the jittery graph may have been from the wheels spinning, even on the road, when it reaches full boost the wheels are spinning insanely in 2nd.

Do you think I should take the car back to the tunner to resolver the jittery dyno?

And is my turbo spooling up late assuming that he had his foot on the pedal the whole time?

Cheers

EDIT:

Hi Guys, 18 PSI was reached at 93.4 KM/H.

And sorry, I thought it was 18 PSI that I was running, but it was 17 PSI that I was running when I achieved the 272.3 RWKW.

Boost spiked up to about 20 PSI ( I have a turbo tech boost controller, looking to buy a PFC Boost controller kit to avoid the spike) and gradually dropped down to 17 PSI.

So just to confirm, the 272.3 rwkw was acheived when the boost was at 17 PSI. (Boost remained at 17 PSI from about 156KM/h until the end (180KM/H)

Hey guys, I had a look at GTS25T dyno, he has the same turbo as mine, no cams, pretty much the same mods, and at about 90km/h, he has about 30 rwkw more then me....

Now, this could be due to the following:

1) The tunner didn't step on it until 3000 rpm, (which I don't think is the case as boost appears to be rising at a more rapid rate all the way) at 89km/h, boost is at 12PSI.

2) the tunner doesn't know what he's doing

3) something is up with my turbo? (I got the 0.68 A/R housing)

DO you guys think I should go back and have a chat with my tunner?

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
