In my experience i have found that dynos often tell lies.

I beleive that it is only used for tunung and are very inconsistant in there power figures.

I have an r33gtst with I/c, 14psi standard trbo,air filter, 3inch exh turbo back.

1st dyno run @ PET: 198RWKW(14psi)

2nd dyno run @ club Meet: 170rwkw(14psi)

With these mods described above i ran a 13.8 1/4 mile.

Then

Installed Microtech plug in at PROMAZ

Dyno run @ Promaz: 165RWKW Although the car is a lot quicker then what it was with previous dyno runs.(14psi)

Hope that info can support why i think as i do about dyno power figures.

confak, The dyno was run in shootout mode, and has just been checked by Dyno Dynamics for consistancy with there test dyno vehicle and found to be within 1% of the power reading on a 400rwhp vehicle. It is used by virtually every SAU member in WA, and reads lower than many other dyno's here. I'm expecting to get a reading of 450rwhp with the same setup at the dyno at the Perth Autosalon. I have used this dyno for all my work, I'm not swapping dyno's to try and get a high reading.

Here is my dyno graph for those that are interested. The top two curves are the 411.9rwhp run, and my daily drive power curves. As you can see we're starting to get a bit of plug breakdown, so I have a new set of plugs going in. We are slowly ramping the boost, just to keep the pistons intact. We're running quite rich still just to protect the pistons, about 11.5:1 AFR's. It also has very little timing in at the moment, so when I put forgies in I expect the shape of the graph to be much fatter even with the same amount of boost.

I am shocked, i recon u should pull your injectors off and prove to us that they are the stockies, coz even tho when you get your car from an importer u never know exactly what has been done to it in japan.

If u were getting only 80% duty cycle at 411rwhp using a few physics cals u r running atleast 550cc injectors.

Will be interesting when mine finially gets done coz i got the same manifold as you and getting a 550hp garrett turbo.

Also what correction numbers were entered in shootout mode before you did the run? coz you can very easily enter in the temp as being 35 degrees humidity 80% etc when it is alot less and hence u will get a higher reading coz of the correction factor.

RS500, The 500 and 600hp GT30's use the same size exhaust housing, just different sized wheels. It's reasonably responsive and great for the street:D

INASNT, Send me some money and I'll take them out and get them flow tested:D Not many people would change the injectors to 550's on a completly stock car, but you never know. All the shootout readings are on the bottom of the dyno printout, which is the benefit of shootout mode, you get to see exactly what conditions it was done under.

Well done Paul, what a great result. What red line are you running? Also, was that a 4th gear dyno run? Nice wide power band too, a really nice looking dyno, time to buy some nittos:D

And I reckon the reason you are getting all that power with stock cams is because you have a trust plenum - flows so much better than the stocker obviously:p Have to see how mine goes with the new plenum:D

It is pretty awesome result esp with those injectors - all those out there that say it cant be done, one possible reason (might stop your brain hurting sydneykid:D):

I have heard that the stock injectors actually flow around 10% higher than their rating, so around 407cc/min, it is quite possible that the bosch pump actually flows higher than rated as well - a couple of pounds is not excessive AND the trust plenum actually flows really well at higher cfm when under boost.

See, not so incredible now is it.

Once again congrats Paul, nice work. I think you should get those a/f ratios around 11.8-11.9 though, still pretty safe and see if you cant get a few more ponies. At least you dont have to worry about killing the ringlands as forgies are going in.

INASNT, I know a fair bit about what to look for on Skylines these days and I'm sure it wasn't ever modified:D

Steve, Thanks buddy. Redline is 7500, and it was a 4th gear run. I love the Greddy plenum, regardless of what other people say;) I don't want to push the car until I now I have the money for the engine rebuild, until then I'm happy with the safe fuel mixtures:D

GTS-t VSPEC,

i do agree about the different compressor wheels although i believe that both the 500hp & 600hp GT30 turbo's come with an option of A/R .63, .82 or 1.06 exhaust housings.

RS500, Depends what full boost is:D It's on 17psi by 4000rpm.

that's pretty good response for a trubo of that size. it will be interesting when u can wind some more boost into it and give a nice aggressive tune :(

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
