Hiya all, after reading the wastegate size thread I noticed that some of the rwkw figures seemed very high when compared to mine (we use bhp in the UK so I'm not too sure of the conversion). This is how I think my conversion works

I have 400bhp at the flywheel, which is 300kw at the fly, which is 200rwkw

Does that rwkw figure seem low?

Here's my maths, 400bhp/1.33=300kw and rwkw is 2/3 of fly kw so =200kw

Anyone got any idea? Going from the numbers SydneyKid used in the wastegate thread I should have around 250rwkw?

Cheers for your help......................................................IanH

Well, I've had her dyno'd in her current state and got 253rwhp, which works out to 190rwkw (not far off the 200 I'd guessed) but again this seems low when other people mention their 230-250rwkw figures for GTS-t's in the wastegate thread. I've had a lot of work done on the engine (new turbo, FMIC, bigger injectors pumps, Boost to 17.5psi, clutch etc) and wonder what other GTT owners are getting for theirs?

Cheers..........................................................................

Hi there, you got 190 rwhp for what kind of modification?

on 4th gear, I got 217.7 hp, with full turbo back, and air filter, running 8 or 9 psi :D

Opps, I meant 190rwkw not hp anyway, Heres the list -

Engine

Trust TD05-18g Turbo

HKS S-Type FMIC

Blitz SBC-iD @ 1.2bar (17.5psi)

Nismo 480cc injectors

Nismo Fuel pump

Tomei 1.4mm Headgasket

NGK Iridium Plugs

Apexi PowerFC & H/C

HKS Downpipe

HKS De-cat

Blitz Nur spec Exhaust

z32 AFM

Trust 13 Row Oil Cooler

Stock Air Box but with a Nismo S-Tune filter in (Ive bought an Apexi PowerIntake filter which arrive next week)

Other

R33GTR Brembo Front Calipers and discs with Ferrodo DS2500 pads

R34GTR Clutch

Lots of carbon fibre bits

HKS SSQV BOV

Cusco Catch Tank

R34GTR Rims

Top Secret copy Front bar & Bonnet

Tomei Kevlar Timing belt

With all that I'm making a little short of what I expected (which was 200rwkw) but the induction kit should help that out.

It just seems odd that people are making a lot higher rwkw figures but with less engine work being done, which was why I wanted my maths checking!

i have a tad more power out of my r33 gts-t. only engine mods being fmic high flowed turbo an bigger fuel pump. everything else standard.

This is the sort of thing I'm on about. My car is producing over 100bhp more than standard (276 Vs 385) but a GTS-t has the same amount from only minor mods. There has GOT to be something going wrong in the way I'm doing the conversion. There is NO WAY a a GTS-t can produce over 100bhp extra with those mods so that means my rwkw figure MUST be too low!

Can anyone make any sense of this as it's doin my head in!

IanH if your car was here in Sydney and run on a Dyno Dynamics Dyno and you got 190rwkw with alllll those mods i'd be taking it all back and getting a refund :D

Either your tuner doesn't know what he's doing or your different climate and dyno conditions are putting your power figures out compared to here.

Ian,

To 2 decimal places the conversions are as follows:

1hp - 0.75kw

1kw - 1.34hp

My suggestion would be for you to go to your closest proper drag strip (0-400m) & tell us what 60ft, ET & most importantly MPH you get. These figures will go a fair way to telling you how much power you're making (when compared to the cars weight). Even a poor effort on the drag strip will give a good indiction when the full 60ft, ET & MPH is used.

Trying to compare YOUR dyno number with our Aussie dyno numbers isn't much good. For starters what type of dyno does your tuner use? How is the dyno configured, i.e what sort of drivetrain to fly difference does it show? For example, the US Dynojet dyno shows a much smaller drop btw flywheel to rw than Aussie dyno's USA 250hp ='s 210rwhp Aussie 250hp ='s 170rwhp

As a side issue, what is the Trust TD05-18G rated at?

EDIT: - One other small thing Ian, how did you figure your engine to be making 385bhp? I take it the UK dyno's have some form of rw to flywheel conversion, yes? Unless you've had your engine removed & run on a engine dyno even the 385hp figure is a bit of a rough estimate.

Cheers,

Matt

I agree with benm, You can get way more KW with those mods, franks from sydney get 200 kw with one bar boost, with only full turbo bac, filter, HKS type S cooler, FMIC, tuned Power fc, oil cooler, replace head gasket.

I think you should tune your car elsewhere to produce better output :)

Can you send me picture of your car to [email protected] :D It looks awesome I guess. BTW r33 brembo brakes can be fit into r34 ?

If u search the forums, sydneykid wrote an interesting post on flywheel to rear wheel losses. He believes the loss is a set figure rather then a percentage. Im not gettin into that debarcle but he says most 33's have a loss of 62kws from fly to wheels. Ie standard 33 Gtst with 187kws at motor will have 125rwkws. Sounds rite to me.

He believes the loss is a set figure rather then a percentage. Im not gettin into that debarcle but he says most 33's have a loss of 62kws from fly to wheels.

That sounds good to me as well! If I had 230rwkw + 62= 292rwkw*1.34 = 390bhp which is almost what I'm running (according to a Rollin Road dyno (385bhp)

now 230rwkw is more like the figure I was hoping for :headbang:

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
