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)

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
