Hey guys,

This thread is an elaboration from Trents (URAS) thread which basically showed the low/midrange gains of a boost solenoid or stepper motor with a properly setup 'Gain" function; Fine control of wastegates.

Thankyou by the way Trent from stopping me buying the power fc boost kit!

Also

The discussion about stock airboxes and whether they proved a restriction from an air velocity, turbulance and volume point.

-First dyno sheet was done on the 2nd of July and made 235awkw at 1bar with an apexi replacement panel filter and bottom half of the airbox removed.

-Boost controler was a HKS EVC version 3 (solenoid)

-Dyno done today made 255awkw at 1 bar with apexi power intake pods

-Boost controller was a new HKS EVC Version 6 (stepper motor)

Both dyno runs were done with the bonnets up so even though there was a gain of 20awkw would we expect a car in bumper to bumper traffic to have higher intake temperatures and therefore lose this power? But one thing is for sure, the addition of a partition utilizing the intake snorkel might give us the best of both worlds!

I dont really know how to compare the different boost controllers as i dont know how to compare a dyno sheet in RPM to KM/H so perhaps someone would like to examine it for me.

There is no 100% secure result as there are too many sliding variables but i found it pretty cool!

Thankyou to Rob, Daniel and the rest of the boys at CREATD motorsport! He went above and beyond for a tidy setup, expert tune and treated the car as if it was his own. So if anyone is looking for an expert tuner, I highly recommend them and have their contact details in my signature.

nice results mate would like to ask what mods have got to the motor

Thanks mate, just a catback zorst, pods, power fc and EBC

As i asked

Did you removed the side panel out of the airbox? Which restricts it and must be removed?

Did you try taking the panel filter out entirely? (just to properly test restrictions?)

Not exactly sure what your asking but here is a pic of the setup

here it is now

i'm not seeing a lot of difference between the boost curves there. You have the same shaped ramp onto boost and even have the same slight creep up to 1 bar at the top end. earlier or later response can come down to what revs the operator loads up the car.

Also 2 different dynos 4 months apart doesn't really prove much at all to be honest. And 2 different types of dyno at that. And neither is showing the correction data!

I don't want to sound negative, but we have nothing to make a direct comparison with, even the scales are different.

Thanks guys so far for the analysis and thoughts! Like said there are too many sliding variables to my testing so a 100% proven theory is not on the cards but im very happy with the results and the car is fabulous to drive!

I wrote up this thread because this is a forum for skyline enthusiasts and i hope some people enjoyed the read/results.

dear god that car looks f**king mean

good to see an improvement though, and you reckon driveability is heaps better?

i want a bit more driveability from the R32. just doesn't have the wall of torque the supra does... but has many more revs :P

was at Status Tuning the other day, we did back to back dyno runs, both with hi-flow panel filter (Blitz) but one with stock airbox lid on, one off. 10rwkw difference. Don't want to go pod, so might "modify" the airbox lid :P

Thanks man! Definitely driveability is better 100%

Never driven a supra, would love to feel the difference.

Thanks for the positive result.

When i was using the airbox i noticed an instant sluggishness once i put the other half of the box back on.

I can't follow your graphs. You say both runs were at 1 bar of boost but one chart says 15psi (around 1 bar) but the other seems to say 200 kpa (about 2 bar).
was at Status Tuning the other day, we did back to back dyno runs, both with hi-flow panel filter (Blitz) but one with stock airbox lid on, one off. 10rwkw difference. Don't want to go pod, so might "modify" the airbox lid :P

Did you try with the filter off (just outta interest)

Did you try with the filter off (just outta interest)

don't think we did, just with the lid off. Trent then said he may have noticed one of the pipes sucking closed, so we ran again and i tried to watch it, didn't seem to be closing, but plan on doing the 3cm stainless steel insert mod all the same. He mentioned cutting some holes around the lid, and maybe meshing them up so it doesn't look too obvious.

As has been already said - different dynos - different days and neither run with corrections applied or in a industry standard "Shootout mode". So liitle can be made from these graphs and its pointless to try to draw conclusions.

Why dont you try logging AFM voltages on the same day in the same conditions with pods and then with the standard Airbox.

    • 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?
