Yesterday went to Turbotune in Adelaide to fix a spluttering problem my car has had for a while. Thought it could be either a fuel pump problem or a coilpack. After an hour and some tests, ended up being a faulty coil pack. So happy to get that fixed coz it was driving me crazy. Then we dynoed it and I was shocked to see 201.2rwkw. Only mods are dump/front pipe, hks cat back, fmic, no boost controller but there was a boost increase to around 11.5psi. I was wondering if anybody made similar sort of power with or without boost controller. Will put picture of dyno when I get a chance to scan.

to me that dyno is reading a wee bit too high

i had my car dynoed at Willall Racing and they use a mainline dyno

with a front mount, boost increase to 9psi, full zorst, splitfire coilpacks, pod....my car made 188.7 rwkw on a reasonably warm day

so from the mods that you are saying you have i would expect the same sort of power that my car has pulled out

plus no boost controller and ur hitting 11.5psi....umm have you had that reading out off a boost gague or from the stock gauge.

damo had 2 dyno results from 2 different places.....

autosalon dyno if i remember correctly he made 161 something rwkw

and at southern hi tech dyno he made 184.2rwkw

that alone tells you that every dyno is different

You WOULD have about 200rwkw if there was an aftermarket computer or your ecu has been remapped........

my 33 made 192kw with just a pod and turbo back three inch exhaust. i fitted the FMIC and it automatically pushed the boost up. final result is 205.4kw on 10psi :blink: ... i'm stoked:) oh and im running stock ECU and no boost controller

Southern Hi Tech: 182.4rwkw

Autosalon: 165rwkw

I got the lighter wheels back on and have a dyno day at graham west next month. im very interested to see what it pulls now, although i may have a few goodies on by then so the comparison wont be that accurate.

At autosalon in 4th it was hitting speed cut on the ctock ecu but hadn't maxed the revs yet, but at southern hi teech it reached max revs, so i guess each dyno is calibrated differently.

same goes here, i achieved quite a boost increase after installing FMIC. Around 12psi. no aftermarket boost controller, and what appears to be the standard ECU. Same other mods that IZZMO mentioned - pod, turbo back exhaust.

She's running pretty nice.

Next thing i'll be adding is better coil packs - my oem ones are pretty fried.

Mainlines do read lower due to their more accurate correction factors but this is widely know, so you can compare DD figures to DD amd mainline to mainline but can't really compare them against eaach other.

I fitted the exhaust and cooler to this car, there was also some cat "modifications" so the boost increase is due to the increase in the exhaust flow.

The boost reading is off the MAP sensor on the exhaust.

I would say that the figure is pretty accutre due to how i only just pulled away in my lighter 180 which was running about 205kw(14.5psi) at the time when we had a run on the freeway on the way to Mallala (kept it under 110 of course).

As cubes and Jeff said prehaps it's just a freek.

Where there is a boost jump it should only jump to around 9 or 10psi. Most 33's do that with those mods, but I think there are some that just might do crazy things and jump to 11 or 12 psi like mine and I dont know why, maybe just lucky. Plus turbo tune had just finished having they're dyno serviced on monday, so dont think the dyno is a problem.

auto salon was dead on actually. i had just got my car dyno tuned at boost worx a week prior and it made 2kws more than it had been tuned for.

anywho.. i dont find it hard to believe 200. i mean 11.5 is lot of boost for a rb25.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
