aw/rw = same shit anyway.

Not really but to certain extend yes.

There's someone I know of in Brisbane that dyno-ed his 32 GTR on rwd and awd mode the same day on the same dyno. The difference in reading is around 10kW. But the difference isnt THAT great and definately not worth the extra money for awd dyno tuning.

Thats prob why Racepace (Working on mostly GTRs) have only a rwd dyno instead of awd...makes sense...i always wondered why dont they have a awd dyno when all the GTRs are 4wd...

10kw is the same shit to me :P

Its been proven by a number of people with over 400rwkw/awkw that any differences are so negligebile its not worth splitting hairs over.

This is with a factory transfer case etc.

With a modified transfer case, its a different story but most punters are not in that category

Hi Guys,

Wanted to know that how much kW can you get on standard turbo and engine, but with below mods :

- Exhaust (Highflow)

- PowerFC

- Cam Gears

- Bleed Valve

Any idea anyone??? Car is GTR33....

Got 264.6rwkW after the above mods!!!!!

very impressed......

RPM cam gears supplied by racepace....

14psi boost and chris from racepace tuned it.....

nice....did the cam gears make much different? i am thinking of getting them too...but not sure of their exact use on the car yet...still due to researching that...lol

it makes difference.....

car accelerates and takes off faster than usual......

surely you have to get it dialed in once you fit it.....

ask chris at racepace....he'll let you know.....

thought it did make difference in response....but when i am rebuilding my engine to hold more power ill be putting the HKS variable cam in which come with cam gears too i think...so thats when i am planning to put them in...but still need to look around for the best combo i can use to make my baby "fly"...lol.. :P

You do know that HKS V-Cam is $5000 on its own, just for the variable timing.

Thats not including the 8-10k for the rebuild and all the rest :woot:

HAHAHA!!! YUP :P itll be done one day...if i get hands on a blown up RB engine to practise on..i might do it myself with my machanics guidance otherwise i am planning to spend around the 20k mark on the engine for my car to pull SAFE 400+awkw...might even make it a bigger block..but will do as my machanic instructs...then work on suspension and make is a nice quick track car..(my dream) :P

There was a test done with VCAM on/off lap times, didnt make much of a difference. But the test car already put out 650HP irregardless, so i guess the argument to have one is marginal

Yes i did watch that video when i was researching about the combo of mods i should do on the car...but the guy who tested it and the comparision video did show a VERY quick response time and the engine was able to rev much quickly with the Vcam on...thats why i am PLANNING to get that done too...but its still in the planning mode...when the time comes for me to do it, new things might arrive that might interest me...lol..

Try it on a different Dyno and you might get the same result, i wouldn't worry about that 20 odd kw differ.

+1...all dyno does give out different readings..so gives more others give less...if the difference is around 20 kw...its more likely both the cars are pretty equal in power...

and peak rwkw is a single figure at any one time

it hardly explains the cars acceleration and how it performs on the street

if johnny where you said it makes 232rwkw and the other makes 264kw

it could be dyno differences, how it is strapped down, air temp correction etc

as long as it feels quicker on the street its all good

the only comparison that is useful is your same car on the same dyno each time

when you do mods, you check before and after, as long as the power goes up, all good

its only if you add mods and get no gain then you need to check it

id perfer to make less rwkw (vs higher for bragging rights) and have quicker times

:) +1...spot on...numbers mean nothing as long as you can get the times better...and its only 20 odd kw diff...so nothing really to stress about...

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
