Sick Of People Claiming Ghost Rwkw!


Recommended Posts

OK,

I'm sure youv’e all got a mate or no of somebody like this but what is it with dudes claiming massive power outputs on relatively stock cars. I’m not going to even look into the pshycology of it all but man it pissses me off.

So yesterday I was at a mates shop rewiring a hole heap of stuff and general maintenance and a unnamed SAU member came by in his 33. He was all like what are you putting down at the treds. I said Last dyno was 231RWKW. He was like yeah iv’e got 340rwkw with a stock turbo on 15psi with just a computer, fuel pump and exhaust. I mean I wanted to just get right into it but I thought f*ck it. What the point…. People like that aren’t worth it. I mean I have stock injectors and max them out at full tilt. Now how the hell to I get another 100kw down on those injectors. I have the HKS2535, bosch pump, surge tank, fuel reg, computer, FMIC, exhaust, Z32, Boost control, pod blah blah blah and I cannot squeeze that sorta power out…..

Am I missing something or are these people just living a pipe dream.

OK,

I'm sure youv'e all got a mate or no of somebody like this but what is it with dudes claiming massive power outputs on relatively stock cars. I'm not going to even look into the pshycology of it all but man it pissses me off.

So yesterday I was at a mates shop rewiring a hole heap of stuff and general maintenance and a unnamed SAU member came by in his 33. He was all like what are you putting down at the treds. I said Last dyno was 231RWKW. He was like yeah iv'e got 340rwkw with a stock turbo on 15psi with just a computer, fuel pump and exhaust.

Was it a GTR?

I guess even if it was, that's pretty unbelievable at 15psi, or that's one hell of a ECU/EBC. Must be one of those dodgy dynos.

LOL these people are funny, you could almost say delusional.

Every so often one of these comments will be someone testing you to see if you can sort bullshit from fact, but 9 times out of 10 these people are just talkers that don't actually what they are talking about, or feel compelled to spout shit in order sound better than they are.

Just laugh it off, these people aren't worth the time of day.

hello

we have seen this in the past, but what we have also seen is "non comparable results"

that is - a car makes a given power in RWKW vs another car in RWKW and we assume both cars are same & dyno settings

the dyno sheeet says its RWKW, says its blah blah mode etc etc etc so the guy must have made 150rwkw surely - the sheet says so

so you compare this to your car and you make say 50rwkw and the other guy makes 150rwkw

what is a likely scenario is one or more of the following;

1) mangled dyno settings

- wrong mode set, wrong ramp rate, wrong car selected, mangled correction on the dyno

2) mangled dyno environment

- temp sensor in wrong spot, rollers mangled, fan mangled, different temperature (without correction)

3) different diff gears

- higher or lower

4) different ratios in the gearbox

- higher or lower

5) dynoed in different method

- shootout vs non shoutout

- engine dyno

- hub dyno

6) different fuel used

- could be 98, could be 100, could be 110, could be 130+

when i saw wrong ,as in when you compare A and B cars they arent the same

ie if you dyno a bog stockish GTST in 3rd gear you get around 180rwkw ish

we all know a GTST in 4th gear makes around 140rwkw - but the guy has more bragging rights cos he made more

is it right? probably not

but the paper says 180rwkw so he has to be correct

theres more to it than the dyno sheet - and the owner usually doesnt let on to all the of the mods, i mean, the might not remember all the mods etc?

at the end of the day, 340rwkw from a essentially stock gtst is laughable.

I have a 33 GTR with GTSS's running 19PSI , HKS racing chamber kit, Hks dumps, Tomei manifolds, mines stainless front pipe, no cat, kakimoto mega race catback, type B poncams, 700 sards (pump & AFR), EVC6 and d'jetro and only putting down 323KW (pretty sure on 4WD dyno but will check) so if he reckons 340rwkw on 15PSI, I want to live in his fantasy world, it sounds pleasant with an abundance of cheap HP

There is a company down there (Melbourne) that has obtained some very 'excited' results from their dyno. They even had the stupidity to start a thread on here to beat their own chest...which horribly backfired and left them with zero credibility.

It may have been dyno'd there....lol

Which place was that?

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
