I know this isn't the place for this question, but this is as good of a time as any to ask it....

I don't understand the point of "corrections" on a dyno. The car makes X power. End of story. It made a specific figure, why should that be altered "just because"?

It sounds similar to someone trying to give you the temperature, but adding on (or subtracting as the case would be) wind-chill. That isn't accurate, and shouldn't be counted.

Same goes for different corrections for 4 cyl, 6 cyl turbo, 8 cyl, etc. WTF?

its good, but only the second Dyno graph which the boost is set at 24psi! Im looking for a Turbo like this one, but only pushing out 15-17psi, 200rwkw at 4Krpm 260rwkw max.

thats this one but i dont want to be putting 24psi to be making it.

At this stage the ATR43SS-1 is the only turbo managed to hit 205rwkws on 4000RPMs based on 9 sec ramp timing on Status dyno (with stock setup, 98 fuel, etc etc).

You can run a larger turbo with less boost on 12 or 14 sec ramp timing to get similar result, but that doesn't necessarily represent it on every day road.

With 17psi using a boost controller it should hit the 180~190rwkws mark at 4000RPMs.

The only reasons why "high" boost will break a motor is from either the turbo being out of efficiency hence detonation from higher charge temps, or because it's simply too much power.

Yeah psi isn't what kills a motor, its torque figures (combustion pressure) and temperature (intake charge temp due to compressor being out of efficiency). Then the usuals like detonation, running lean etc.

Next up the ATR43G3 Alfa version. With Duel ceramic ball bearing and penta nozzled FNT turbine housing. Unlike traditional ball bearing cartridges this one runs a splashed oil delivery setup instead of concealed force feeding setup. This is unlikely to suffer from minor oil contamination related issues. Will be testing next weeks and hopefully every thing go according to plan.

This is also the very first penta (5) nozzed FNT turbine housing, should produce more down low torque with better mid range.

I would like to see the differences that additional nozzles makes. FNT nozzles swirls the air as it enters the turbine housing, but too many of it can cause flow restrictions. Note how the turbo spooled with just bit of air shoot through the turbine inlet, I could not get this effect with traditional turbine housings. I’ve been waiting to see this with the effects of ball bearing rolling objects.

the correction is included (you can elect not to use it, ie non shootout mode)

on the dyno runs to standarise the measurement

so if you dyno a skyline in australia on a 20deg day at whatever sea level pressure

then dyno the same skyline in dubai with 48deg day on whatever sea level pressure

you can accurately compare the two

otherwise without the correction the one in dubai would be well off due to the excessive intake temp

I'd figured it was about this, but what shits me about it is POWER IS POWER. There's no point in saying "this is how much power it WOULD have made given different intake temp etc". It's just stupid. It made a certain power. End of story. You could have a correction that could potentially make it have +50% of the power it actually made. In that case there's no point even showing a power figure, as the dyno is good for nothing but a stationary way to load the engine for tuning.

Sorry just a rant, there are many things in this world that are just f**king stupid lol

but its there to normalise the results

so that if you dyno your car in darwin in summer and make whatever rwkw

and you compare it to another skyline with the same turbo in winter in tasmania

that way with correction you both make roughly the same power

if all things are equal and both engines ie are the same etc

without correction

he makes tons more

you make tons less

and you think his is either super quick

or yours is super slow

It's purely to allow comparisons. That's it.

That and for if you drive your car from Darwin to Tasmania that you don't crack the shits you "lost 50RWKW"

In reality you might be up or down power elsewhere at that single point in time, but if you hold intake temp constant along with the pressure and humidity, you will make the same power no matter where you are.

Got the ATR43G3 Alfa model installed today. Took short video footage of it on car during idle and switch off:

I'm still running the 265rwkws tune from SS-1. Its obviously not as responsive but pulled lot harder up top, I'm expecting it to perform similar to ATR43G3 with better down low and mid range. will post results once finished.

Also stock exhaust manifold doesn't seems capable of flowing 330rwkws+ regardless the difference in size of turbo. This turbo going by specifications should crack 550HP. Will consider to upgrade manifold soon. Or send in a pm if any one’s got a good conditioned custom low mount for sale.

To build it brand new from scratch will cost $1560 inc GST, takes roughly 3 days to complete. Couple of manufacturing steps involved and many man hours required. I've pmed you an offer for the one that came out of my test car. please check and reply if interested. Thanks.

    • This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...
    • There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
    • Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.
    • Greg speaks wisdom. These dirty old Datsuns are only value when they are cheap. When they are not cheap, there is no value. Sounds contradictory, but it's true. We are now 20 years past the hey day of modifying cheap 90s JDM cars for small amounts of money. This is a different world. If you are rich and can afford not to care about what is effectively wasting money on an old Datto shitter, then I have no reason to argue against it. But if you are wanting to experience what we all experienced back in 2005 (and I bought my car last century!) then there is no way to do it.
    • Short answer: No. Medium answer: No, because you still need to conjure the things out of thin air to bolt them to a NA to make it a NA+T. Long Answer: No - The things you need to conjure - meaning a turbo, intercooling, manifolds, exhaust, intake/manifold/piping, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, AFM (?), ECU + Wiring (woo, N/A loom fun) have to come from somewhere. You could have many scavenged these things from an OEM car that someone had upgraded from and use some of these. This will be cost prohibitive now, especially so in the USA. You'd probably pay the same for newer, upgraded components that are better than old OEM stuff from 25-30 years ago. None of these big ticket items are re-usable for the N/A car. Why not buy new and upgrade while you're there? The only real consideration is turbo and fuel sizing and determining whether you want to stay within the bounds of the OEM engine or get into rebuild territory. These limits ARE lower with a N/A motor and especially N/A gearbox at the starting point. And if you're gonna upgrade those then you may as well consider having them built to begin with. Because everyone here knows you're never far from that next engine rebuild once you start making the power you want... The cars you see on the internet and SAU etc have been built over decades. If you're really clued in... you would sell your US car to somebody for what you paid for it. You would then scour AU JDM pages or SAU and buy a car like Dose's on this forum with your powerful American Dollar. This will save you so much money in the long term. Importing it could be tricky. Or it might not because USA. I have long said the only reason 90's Japanese stuff took off was because a) Japanese people had Japanese cars so that is what they used b) Australians could import these cars to Australia with very minimal changes and use them on the road here c) Neither country had well-priced access to US or EU Sports Cars. I don't believe the JDM scene would have taken off in Australia at all if we had EU priced EU BMW M offerings, or more especially the AUS V8 Scene would never have existed if we had the multitude of US cars like Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes at the prices you folks do. After all - Do the math. I would say put a V8 in your R34 and that's the smart way forward. It is. I did it. I know this from my own experience. But at that point there's no reason to simply not buy a C5 or C6? It would be simpler and easier and cheaper and bette-
