Hey guys, went to an SAUWA Dyno Day today, and the dyno print out showed some interesting results. The A/F ratio dived down below 10:1 and sat on the bottom of the graph for he magority of the run. The owner of the workshop had a look at it and reckons something is seriously wrong with it. Would explain the fuel usage recently. Any ideas what might be causing it? I would take it back to the workshop, but I dont trust them touching my car. No offence to them.

The car is a 1996 R33 GTSt with high flow turbo, full exhaust, intercooler, remapped ECU, stock BOV, Spitfire coil packs, 18psi through a Greddy Profec B Spec II.

Any ideas?

Rhys

Hey Ryhs,

I had the same problem where due to the heat today at the dyno (38degree day) my power fc chucked a whole heap of fuel in to stop it pinging and i ended up 60hp less than normal and afrs in the 10's instead of the normal 12's

Hmmm. So you reckon getting it checked on another dyno when its cooler? Like I said before, I'd buy a car and parts off Alistair, but I wouldnt trust him with my car. Possible he's trying to scam money off new customers?

Take it to another workshop to get it dyno'd that you do trust and see if the readings are the same?

Do it on a day without so much heat..

Hey Rhys,

My mate went to the same dyno day and he pulled a low 300 when it normally pulls 400hp

his was tuned by autoworx so i dont think its the dyno reading low, his AFR also dropped down into 10s

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
