I would be interested to see inside the bore, and perhaps the plugs tips if they are still there. I too noticed the dint in the backing shield, dare I say Det damage? It looks like it's been blasted by hot metal particles.

Can a turbo perform better on a dyno than on the road?Like could two turbos that makes 250rwkw with the similar power curve get totally different results on the road.

I think what's happening is we are making the power but have a lot of lag between gears. On a dyno you're loading it up in 4th,so you don't see the difference between gears, but at the strip it makes a huge difference.

Now that I have the gopro hooked up I might test this and record the time to build boost back up.

I was completely oblivious until Stao rang me about it. The plugs were fine, the motor doesnt miss a beat and I havent seen any oil being burnt.

Unless some of my valves or pistons are missing chunks and somehow continue to run, i was thinking maybe some slag or something has come away from within my exhaust manifold and caused this.

The launch control probably doesnt do the turbine any favours either. :whistling:

Wait I thought this was stock manifold, what manifold is it for slat to let go?

I ask because ive seen a known brand manifold do this to a kando recently.

I met you at a trackday a while back.

Wasnt yours the car with the bolt-ons from another car (turbo, intake manifold, injectors etc etc) as well as the ECU. But the ecu was tuned for those mods of the bolt ons in the other car and you hadnt bothered to get it tuned again to your car, you just hooked it and and went from there.?

If so then some decent DET might have been occurring methinks...

Sorry you have me confused for someone else. I have an ATR43G3, standard plenum, nismo 550's and ViPec ECU.

I don't know about 115mph, but 106mph is way low for ~250wkw. Quite an odd pattern forming!

Thats stagea kw for mph..

I'm a bit lost, but most of the cars that have run the drags so far , are the ones that had problems on the dyno

anyway i thought, so i don't see a clear picture yet, Stao should go

cheers

Was going to say that - my Prelude needed around 130kw to pull 96-98mph trap speeds and weighed ~1330kg as raced, must be an ultra low reading dyno to do 97+ with a "130kw" 300ZX.

I'd hope for over 98mph with 200kw in an R33 too, though.

That's what the dyno read and that's what i'm going off. I'd rather have the low reading dyno number and a good trap speed than the other way around.

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
