Thats a fair call, but the injector duty cycle has no idea what the fuel rail pressure is, and that can account for why the A/F ratios being ok, as the ECU doesnt have any closed loop mechanism on the duty cycle does it? I mean it doesnt retard boost etc when duty cycle gets over say 95%.

Duty cycle is displayed purely as a tuning aid, and as long as A/F are ok on the dyno's sensor/readout then all is ok.

Roy, Yes that's true, and I think it is how all of the aftermarket ECU's work. The increased fuel pressure is allowing us to push further than most people, but there are some who are using Wolfs and getting 350rwhp with no rising rate regulator.

Rightyo... i knew i saw it someplace.

Im back with some actual calculations (hope the are the right ones or me gonna look silly) :(

From RS500 - He helped me at one stage before.

Use this as a rule of thumb when working out fuel/hp delivery from injectors.

HP = cc per min / 5

therefore,

HP = 370cc / 5 = 74hp per injector

Now this in Engine we are talking about dont forget...

74 x 6 = 440hp (330kw) So you can make 440 HP at the motor end of things wth stock injectors (agreed?)

You are making 431hp at the wheels... Not at the engine.

And just a rising rate reg has got you that far?

To continue this good discussion, does anyone know the loss of power from motor to wheels in an R33 ?

If so... please provide and i'll go away and do some more sums.

Dont shoot me if my calculations are wrong... i've tried to make sure the numbers are right.

By all means correct if i am wrong

Nismoid, I'm not sure if you'll get a definate answer on the drivetrain losses, you'll get answers from 15-30%.

Yeah i know... I usually go 20-30%

Maybe someone out there has..........

Engine dyno'd the car, then had it on a chassis soon after by chance?

Asking a bit much but you never know.

Hi R31Nismoid, it has been our experience that a standard R33 GTST looses about 60 to 65 kw through the drive train on Dyno Dynamics roller dyno. Remembering that the 431.6 was rhhp (rhhp = on hub dyno) which seem to loose about 10 to 15 kw less than a roller dyno. Thus confirming the 411 rwhp previously reported.

So 431.6 rhhp (or 411 rwhp) would be around 500 bhp (bhp = at the engine).

Hope that enables R31Nismoid to finish the calculations.

Hi GTS-t VSPEC, "you asked how were you able to calculate the drivetrain losses?"

I didn't calculate them, it is real data built up from experiences on our dyno from over 20 Skylines. Many of which were standard when they first went on the rollers. The only assumption is that Nissan quote accurate engine kw figures for GTST's. Of course they don't for GTR's, they are all understated to comply with the 206 kw gentlemen's agreement.

Plus we have run a couple of engines on the engine dyno and then ran them up on the chassis dyno. This confirmed the relativity of the standard Nissan power figures for the GTST's.

I have also back to back tested our Dyno Dynamics (roller) with a Dynojet (hub) on the same day using the same car. Free demo as they were trying to sell us one, nearly bought it too.

So no guesses here, real world experiences and factual data, you can't run a circuit race team any other way.

Hope that clarifies

Gtst-Vspec: How far are you going to try and push your car?? I believe the stock rods start break once your over the 450rwhp mark. Pretty figures you have there. But could you please answer my question to "What is the size of your exhaust housing on the GT30. Is .82??".

Thanks

Harun

Good luck with getting that figure. Should be awesome to drive.

My old turbo was a .82. With 1.7bar it made 421rwhp. I know of many other skylines using a similar turbo to my old one that make similar powers at similar boost levels. I just dont seem to understand how you are able to make more power with less boost & standard injectors. I should come for a drive your way.

I'm back ;) Ok, what i have is this. 500Hp.

The figures inputted are in Bold.

HP = Xcc / 5 = hp Per injector.

HP = 417 / 5 = 83 hp Per Injector

So the stock injectors are being pushed to 417 cc per injector.

Now this is where i get buggered, i think the increase is 11.3% per injector (which is across all injectors).

Correct me on the percentage if i am wrong. I cant remember how to work it out :confused:

So that's the math part done, correctly i hope :)

ash

I got 112.7% for the injectors, divide 417 by 370 and multiply by 100. BUT

If the 417 is at 90% duty cycle (which I think? Paul mention the injectors were at), 100% would be 463 which is 125% approx of the 370cc injectors (remebering that 370 is 100% of the stock injectors)

IF my maths is right.

Oh... i forgot the multipy by 100... poo!

But though... it's a 12-13% increase over stock at the end of the day. i did a round off there steve ;)

Is there agree-ance there on that then?

As you already start with 100% ability to use the injectors.

    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
    • I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.
    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
