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 :(

    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.  
    • Yeah the rule of thumb with an LS is 7psi per 1000rpm. That is decidedly not enough at 6800rpm. I mainly looked for the scenarios where knock started to be picked up and it was later in the session when things were hotter, and oil was thinner, and the pressure was lower than it should be. (i.e very horrible). I am hoping with thicker oil (I was running Penrite ten tenths 10-40, the manual specifies 10-30) that does not leak that it's much improved at that time!!! I am using Project Mu Club Racer CR pads. I'm also using the Project Mu 335C fluid. The symptoms imply that it was fluid that boiled, but no bubbles seemed pretty weird to me when I bled it today. I want to try Castrol SRF as it has a much higher wet temp but, well, I have new Project Mu fluid lol... so I should at least use that. The pedal on track was really noticable. It went from basically normal feeling to instantly near-floor. The car did pull up as before, it was just very much nearly at the floor before the brakes engaged. At that point I pretty much decided the day was very done, it did *kinda* come back during that very slow cooldown lap into the pits. Felt perfectly fine driving home.
