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.

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
