Yepp,

That looks about right. Shame it's in 3rd gear, although I'm not sure if it'd make a difference anyway.

That dip in power is normal for a GTS-t with a bit of boost. The dip get's worse as you wind up the boost :(

The A/F ratio's are also typical for a stock ECU. Running pretty rich up top.

Mine pulled 160 with the same mods but with a stock air box and a FMIC, so yours look pretty good.

Cheers

i got 153rwkw on 9psi with a power dip like that....

but thats with stock dump, 2.5" cat..only mod is a front pipe so there's more restriction in mine...

after teh AFC tune I got 190rwkw, still stock dump/cat

200rwkw with de-cat and dump pipe should be about right :(

- Hot humid day, about 30.

Add a FMIC + Bosch 040 Fuel Pump + boost set to 12psi and you have my car... = 180rwkw

You may need to change the description you wrote about your car (just below your avtar). I'll let you know what mine is running tommorow evening - putting it on the dyno tommorow arvo

Good to here its about average.

Dual boost controller is set up for about 10PSI at the moment but needs a bit more adjustment.

I'm attempting the FMIC install tomorrow, should open her up a bit! If all goes well I'll post some pics of the ghetto home job :(

Mark let us know how yours go's with the new Turb's?

My 96 Gtst has similar mods, Pod filter, Intercooler (large), HKS EVC boost controller set to 0.75 bar or 10.5psi, 3" exhaust all the way, plus hi flow cat and pulled 190kw at rear wheels. I will post my chart up once I get the pic scanned as my scanner ain't working.

Anyone else pulling similar power figures.

My engine has done only 60,000km. It also made 203kw at 0.90 bar, but they advised me I had a more reliable long term package this way with less boost especially for the turbos sake.

Paul:burnout:

Since power is simply a measuring of rate of work, it shouldn't matter to a great extent what gear the car is in. The engine still revs from 0 to redline whether you're in 3rd gear or reverse. There are some slight differences because engines respond differently according to load, but it shouldn't matter too much. As long as you do each dyno run in the same gear each time you will be able to get the tuning right.

The reason why Skylines (and similar Jap cars) usually get dyno'd in 3rd gear is because in 4th they can run into the 180kph speed limiter.

How much difference are we talking here though? If a car has say 200rwkw in 3rd gear, what would it have in 4th?

Edit: Hmm, maybe I'm not understanding this power thing then. I know that lower gears give you more torque, but you have less top speed. So in theory the power should work out to around the same in a taller gear, because you have less torque but more top speed. Someone educate me!

That's pretty good with 146 rwkw.

But just one question to all you guys here that has had their car dyno.

I have been reading some other threads on this forum and it has come to my attention that not all Dyno has the same reading.

Like your car might be 146 rwkw on this dyno but on someone else it might be more or less.

If this is so, how can we really compare our difference in kw output as we all would have dyno our cars on different machine?

See that is what I don't really get, isn't there like a standard for these dyno machine so that even if they are set different, on a special mode it would be relatively the same standard as the next machine. Or is that what the 'Shoot-out mode' is for?

It is just weird and don't really make much sense to me.

As I soon will want to dyno my car but whether how accurate it is, that is my question.

We can't :rolleyes: This has been discussed and argued about many many times before here and everywhere else dynos are discussed. The best you can get from them is a rough guide. Most of them seem to be roughly within 10% of each other, so it's pretty obvious that a car with 250rwkw is going to be a lot more powerful than a different car running 150rwkw on a different dyno.

Generally speaking of course, because you can callibrate the dyno to read whatever you like. But if the second car was "tweaked" to read 250rwkw, it would be pretty obvious that it wasn't legit just by going for a ride in the car. Or even looking at some of the mods.

Even a 1/4 mile time can't accurately judge how much power you've got, because there are considerations such as driver skill, suspension setup, tyres, and sometimes just luck (good or bad). But again, it can give you a pretty good idea. ie, a Skyline running 11 seconds definitely is not stock.

Comparing power outputs is just a pissing match anyway, so I'm kind of glad that you can't compare dyno readings directly.

Well imagine if you had 300nm of torque at 150kmh, if you had the same 300nm at 200kph, power would be lower.

I am not sure exactly how much difference it makes, just does make some difference.

I realise that, but say you were in redline at 3rd gear and doing say 100kph. At redline in 4th you would be putting less torque to the ground but the speed would be higher, which would indicate the same amount of work being done (just geared differently).

Down low the power readings will be lower in the taller gear but I would think that the peak power should be roughly the same no matter what gear you are in.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
