At the wheels.

For reference on a very safe tune with an HKS2530, fuel pump, injectors, AFM etc on a relatively good condition RB20 at 14psi bleeding down to 12 I got 175kw-180kw on a 33c degree day. Pulled 195kw at 16psi with massive misfires due to coils.

Could be a freak engine but its hard to imagine getting that much power out of a standard turbo.

Mate - those figures are wrong.

Have a look @ the IT temp is -71 (IT stands for Intake Temp Sensor)

They have a broken temp sensor, how can you be in -71 degree's on a 24 degree day?

Your coolant would be frozen solid - like i said mate, they have botched your runs, there is no possible way to make 170rwkw from a factory RB20 Turbo on 12psi

I suggest you find another tuner, if they can't even maintain or setup their equipment correctly, goodness knows what the tuning is like.

it was on a 41 degree day?air temp inside the shop and dyno room with the fan going would of been lower...

im not sayn u are wrong but i have a friend with the almost the same mods and he gets his car tuned at a different place and it makes 166rwkw with stock turbo???? my boost controller is set to 14.4psi on hi boost but has bad boost drop to 12 thats y i said on 12psi??? i have been told they were a good tuner

If it was 41 degree's outside then that is even worse champ.

The dyno sheet AT:24 (Ambient Temp) says 24 degree's was the temp during your tune/runs etc etc.

Which is virtually 20 degree's off, not a good thing at all, quite signifigant in terms of accuracy. ;)

I say this because if they can't get simple weather corrections/sensors working, i would be dubious of other things like AFR's being correct (ie the sensor being poorly calibrated/broken like the other ones clearly are)

That then has follow on impacts to the tune and at worst - your motor.

they didnt put a thermometer on it so the intake temp wouldn be right.. i dunno then coz my mate also has one with 166rwkw and has drove mine and says goes better than his... pretty sure if u look at the otha 32s on here u will c some with more power with the stock turbo..

Mate you need to calibrate the dyno if you are ever going to hope to have meaningful results for everything from the power to the AFR's

Plenty of stock turbo results to be seen here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb....html&st=20

Norm is 145-160 give/take for 12-14psi.

130-140rwkw for 10-11psi

Normal temps (22-26) - Let alone on a 40 degree day.

It seems you don't really understand fully how a dyno works...

I've told you that the dyno they are using is not correctly setup at all, and this could easily result in a a poor tune and/or your motor death or serious damage over time.

So wether you choose to take what i've said seriously, or just don't care about your car/motor, is totally upto you.

I've seen plenty of people dudded by poor work over the years and it has cost them plenty of money to get it fixed down the track.

as i said it must be possible as i looked in the link and only looked at a few and spotted one 170rwkw on 1 bar boost stock turbo???

1990 R32 75000Kms

RB20DET Stock Internals

Stock Turbo

FMIC

POD

3" TRust exhaust

EBC

BP Ultimate

170.2rwkw @ 1 Bar Boost

Agree with Ash. Wouldn't be pulling myself over those results. Obviously a dodgy maintained, high reading dyno to keep customers like you happy who don't understand the basics behind how dyno's work and calculate the data.

People comparing chassis dyno results are only kidding themselves. To many variables.

lol -71 degrees Intake temp. your fuel would be freezing in the inlet...

you need to understand the dyno software takes into account ambient temp (AT) and intake temp (IT) and corrects the power figure accordingly. withh figures like those who knows what kind of power figure correction it would be applying. but I can tell you now it's very, very unlikely that your 32 GTST is making 170rwkw @ 12.5psi. just as unlikely as it has -71C intake temp...

upsetting to see this mate, ive always heard good things about powertune

maybe you should take on the info richard and ash are saying and give them a call and ask some questions, and try to get some answers and hopefully a re-tune/refund/etc..

also, keep your eye out for an rb25 turbo, a nice bang for buck upgrade for the rb20 :P

yeah I dunno about this bloke but I have seen an RB20 silvertop on an A31 unopened with an Impul ECU, East Bear front mount GT-R cooler kit, 3" zorst no cat or mufflers and a R34 turbo pull 170 rwkw, the car's track performance was able to speak for itself (ie was able to cane a stock R34 GT-T, and give my old 160rwkw VN SS a hiding lol; I admit there would be a weight advantage since this A31 weighs 1200kg lol)

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • 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.
