Hey All,

I've only bought my R33 a week ago and have booked it in for a Dyno and Performance tune. What i wanna know is:

1. Has anyone done a Dyno for their car and what to expect?

2. Costs? A place in Underwood (not disclosed) is charging me $275 plus parts for both servicing and dyno....

The car currently throws flames out the exhaust on high revs, not good at all!!!! And also, it drinks heaps of fuel.....I got 250kms from 35 L of premium unleaded...ouch!!!!! :rofl::D:):mad:

Will take it in this Mon 8/3/04. Wish me luck!

I mite get my SAFC2, AVCR and SITC tuned there

How come you only got 159rwkw

Have u got a full exhaust?

How long did it take too?

Ill be giving them a call once im ready to act, im waiting on a few things first...

159.2KW is quite good for a pretty much stock car (apart from the stuff listed in my Signature). Another member in this forum only got 140kw from their stocky!!!

Had to get it serviced (major) and dyno-ed cos I bought it 2 weeks ago and it had misfiring on high rpm (Thanks to BryanB who told me about it). I also wanted to know how many KWs were at the wheels. Overall, they changed the sparkies to NGK Platinums, did a full service on it for under $500. Now I can rest at ease every time I floor it!!! :):);)

So now I am a proud owner of a laminated dyno chart that's accredited and signed.

As for boost, the guy at APC set it on 10 psi. Excuse me, but I dun know too much about turbo cars, so I dun know what 10 psi will do/if it's good or bad. However, I have been informed that I got a great condition car and with the setup I have got (bleed valve, etc), it is optimal. I dun plan on ugrading the engine, etc as yet, so very happy with what I got.

yeah the guys at APC seem pretty good. I had mine on dyno there the other weekend at a dyno day ($40 for 2 runs). Turned out my car was running too lean, and they only took it to 4000rpm and that was it - they took it straight off the dyno as the afrs were up to about 14-15. They said it will either be pump or afm. I am thinking it is the pump. It was $40 well spent :rofl:

And also, it drinks heaps of fuel.....I got 250kms from 35 L of premium unleaded.

Thats not too uncommon.. mine drinks around that and has around 180rwkw (last dyno was 183rwkw but that was yonks ago).. more power unfortunately will mean more fuel. Last few days highway driving (110km most of the way), 11L/100km - so can make a big difference the types of km you do as to the economy

unwritten law.. same, last tune mine started dipping. I have one of those CAI boxes on the way, and the pump has been in for a long time. Never had it tuned since then though as i'm hoping that eliminates one or all of those problems. Although I have a feeling it is just hte ECU pulling timing due to it being a stock ECU + S-AFC. Anyhow, i gotta get back to your PM tomorrow -- too tired :)

Mate - go with APC. After trying 5 mechanics around Bris & Gold Coast, these guys actually know what they are talking about. Cowboys at the Gold Coast fitted some mods and what was meant to be a 3 day installed turned into over a month of bullshit, lies & false promises - they got 168kw@rw and said this was an awesome result. 1 afternoon at APC 238.2kw@rw with more to come!! Lesson - dont take a street/circuit car to people who can just build Drag cars with big budgets - they dont know the fine art of tuning. They couldn't even get the idle right. Now it runs perfectly and uses much less fuel, no knock and a ton more power. Invest the money with the guys that get the results!

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
