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 :(

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
