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 :(

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
