my r34 with R1s (N1s afaik) made 289kw on a mainline dyno at 19psi without cat,

and 279 awkw on croydon with the cat.

With a tune and cam gears, it filled the 555cc injectors at stock rail pressure, so the fun

stopped at 5000rpm. (stock fuel pump). I think over 300 would be achievable with N1s

and this matches what jim at croydon said: a nur he had through did that with pfc, better

exhaust and intake.

Over the weekend we put on 2530kais & 700cc, and this week some time, they're gonna

get back to me with a new dyno graph. I'll post up all in a different topic if anyone is

interested. (I'm hoping to get all this crap done in time for the anniversary cruise).

Looking good Bakes. In the real world dyno numbers are just that, numbers. I wouldn't be too worried about getting X kw's .I'm sure the car feels so much better than before and when (if) you take it out on the track you will see the difference.

Great looking car, nicely put together thread and excellent standard of workmanship gone into it as well.

I would be worried if it pulled 240rwkws with the std turbos on the same dyno. If it was on a different dyno then fair enough. LOL i was gutted when my lil RB20 only made 222rwkw after a turbo and ecu upgrade, bigger numbers always make you feel better :thumbsup:

well 240 is not too bad, but still well short of what it should be. stock turbos, 14 pound, a tune and a cat back will usually get around 250 or a bit more with cam gears on a 34. there can be some variance between dynos but still I would have thought the average for that set-up would be 300+ even with a crap cat and anywhere up to 350 is not out of the norm. my old set-up ran 260odd kw with just 15psi on stock turbos with standard dumps + fronts, just cat back, cam gears, PFC and hard pipe kit. yours should be smashing that set-up everywhere. :( hopefully you get some gain without the cat.

actually that's a good point. what did it make before these changes? that will give you the only real measure you need. if it was making 165kw on the same dyno with the stock set-up, and now with more boost, turbos, ecu etc it's making 240 then you know it's just a low reading dyno, but that the gains are there. that's the best way to use a dyno, just use the same one to measure before and after results. :(

With the compliance cat, and the massive volk wheels on the car (Bakes was told he would lose at least 20kw at wheels when he got the wheels) and the hearbreaker dyno i think its doing okay.

There was no pre-mod dyno sheet on the same dyno. I think we should be able to get it up to about 280ish without any hassles. have to wait and see.

tut tut. should always do a 'before' run on the dyno. otherwise it's hard to diagnose exact problems like this. if you'd done a before run and got 180kw then you'd KNOW nothing is wrong with the current 240 reading. anyway, it's good practice to always do one just to get an idea of the direction the car is going even when doing fairly proven, basic mods it's still worthwhile. it would have told you a lot about the previous and current set-up for a small cost of time and money. :)

with that setup you'd be expecting 290kw +

dropping the exhaust on the dyno would be the 1st thing to check (re compliance cat), or bolt in a decat pipe and see where it goes....

looks good tho, hope you sort out the issue

222rwkw from an rb20 is pretty good... id be happy with that.

LOL, but a different tuner got 234rwkws out of it with a re-tune at less boot, then later 260rwkws with the same boost. I never put it back on the same original 222rwks dyno, seat of the pants and drivability confirmed that power was heading in the right direction.

So why do you lose 20kws with bigger wheels? Is is because they change the gearing, add rotational mass? Might be the reason why my car used to real pretty well because i had 6.2kg forged 17x8" wheels with light littl 235/40/17 tyres

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.

      V37 Radiator removal

      Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go

      OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
