Actually Stao, you are probably most qualified to comment on this but what do you make of my & SimonR32's power delivery?

It seems that both of us made pretty good power through the midrange but didn't make much more at all from then onwards. Most dyno graphs I have seen that are using your turbos seem to make good power right the way through to redline (ecept in cases where boost control is an issue).

I will post up my graph tonight but it is quite similar to the one SimonR32 posted.

Simon's made 261rwkws on a stock Rb20det. That is equivalent to 300rwkws+ on an Rb25det. Excellent result.

Check all results from ATR43G3s in my thread, Your result with Rb25det is poor and 50kws below average. I don't know whats wrong with the whole package rather then the turbocharger alone. At this stage since its made more power from the car that it came out of, then, I don't think its a turbo issue.

I definately agree, I don't think its the turbo either.

I might get a test pipe made up to replace the cat just in case that is the issue & I will test the intercooler as well to see if there are any restrictions.

Here is the graph with the BP98 tune vs the E43

For example, you believe your fuel economy is good. If I were getting 400kms to a tank, I'd be annoyed. I get 600kms to a tank. Difference in tune.

WTF 600km to a tank?!?

The tanks are supposedly 65L but I have heard of people literally running out of fuel and getting stranded then only getting 59L in.

So you are getting less than 10L/100km and thats if you run the tank completely dry.

Does anyone else get this? Maybe I drive too hard lol Trent said he spent a lot of time making it efficient on fuel.

Do you do mostly freeway driving?

yeah if i do hwy i can get that

when i did VIC to NSW i got 560kms (from RSM) and the tank wasnt empty and fuel light wasnt on yet

and that was constant 110km/h up the highway

but i would not get that in city driving

I really have no idea how you get this economy. Mind you all my driving is traffic and around my area (parramatta, merrylands etc). 600km...., my mate gets that from his 11 golf gti and vw brag about the 600km fuel economy, and you guys are telling me a skyline can do it??? f**k me lol I want in! oh and with my fuel light on I only get 53L into the tank. Could have sworn r33 are a 55L tank..

600k's to a tank in a R33 gtst is easy, I was getting it after tuning the car myself.

Its all about the road tune.

100% this.

I don't do any freeway driving, I actually get worse economy on the freeway sitting at 100/110 (haven't sorted out that part of my tune yet). But my daily trek to uni is mostly 70/90km/h cruising. I don't get muuuuch difference between highway cruising and stop start traffic conditions though, maybe about 580-590 for driving around town. I'll hit full boost a couple times a day, other than that I drive it like I would any other car. The trick is to set your tune up to the way you drive and the roads you drive, it's very difficult for a tuner to do that for you, especially on a dyno.

My petrol tank is 55L, I have come very close to running it dry lol. I usually fill up as soon as the light comes on, usually takes about 50L to fill up.

I actually made a big mistake in my input here.

Ive got the SS2. This is how my situation stood and you tell ME what you think.

Initially the car was tuned at Advan Performance. On 11 PSI I made 244rwkw. Very nice figure. One would only imagine more boost would mean more power, right?

Took the car to DVS JEZ exactly how it came out of Advan(Note my tune at Advan was on a failing fuel pump, this was rectified). We fitted a new actuator running 13.5PSI low boost and 19PSI high boost. I read my dyno wrong, had shit confused in my brain.

According to my dyno chart, I made 217RWKW on low boost(13.5psi) and 244rwkw on high boost(19psi).

Anyone able to tell me how or why the hell I made such little power on the dyno with MORE boost? Yet the car feels much stronger on low boost 13.5 @ 217rwkw than it did on 11PSI @ 244rwkw. One thing to note was that when the car was tuned on 11PSI there was some big timing, almost 20 degrees in some of the big areas. Jez said this is more than likely due to the car being able to provide this much timing because it was on such low boost. We could have ran the car on more timing for low boost but we tuned the car for 19psi, not 13psi and that could be an affecting factor. None the less, I was not getting the 300+rwkw I should be getting. I will be building my new full 3" intake pipe soon and seeing if this will have an effect on the car and its output. Maybe a little dyno unhappy but if there is 60rwkw to be gained, I WANT IT! We were also not getting very good traction on the dyno with two people in the car and 50kg of lead in the boot.

In reality there is a difference though. There's a lot of variables that can affect the tune, and what one tuner considers safe and good may just be a poor tune to someone else. I picked up 60rwhp and about 600rpm of response just by changing tuner. Even if I ignore the number because I changed dyno as well.

For example, you believe your fuel economy is good. If I were getting 400kms to a tank, I'd be annoyed. I get 600kms to a tank. Difference in tune.

Sarge' car mainly got a powertune due to cost of dyno time and his last experience(cost) with his last tuner.i have helped him out with cost at a loss to me and we still have to do a road tune to get better fuel economy.

I really have no idea how you get this economy. Mind you all my driving is traffic and around my area (parramatta, merrylands etc). 600km...., my mate gets that from his 11 golf gti and vw brag about the 600km fuel economy, and you guys are telling me a skyline can do it??? f**k me lol I want in! oh and with my fuel light on I only get 53L into the tank. Could have sworn r33 are a 55L tank..

I have set up my grandma driving to around15.5:1 up to 16.5:1 afr. Even when accelerating more than grandma would the afr is still around 15:1. Cruising is 16:1 give or take. 100kph cruise is stoich or 14.7:1 give or take 0.1. BUT!!! lol No but seriously now, when I give it a bootfull all that lean efficient grandma like tree hugging hippy driving afr goes out the window. At a quater throttle its around 13:1 till about 4 grand then down to 12:1 up from there. Same at half throttle. Three quater throttle sees about 12.5:1 till 4k then 12:1 after and full throttle is about the same except when it hits full boost at about 2200 to 2500 gear dependant it goes straight to 12:1. Cos the fuel tune isn't absolutely perfect it does dip to 11.6:1 when the vct changes at wot but then goes back to 12:1. To summarize under 4k rpm and low load is lean as f**k!!! And after 4k rpm and high load is 12:1. But all that bullshit aside keep it real lean and drive like you are on the dole to get good economy. Its just advice. It works for me.

One thing I did find last night was that the 2-2.5" silicone elbow I used to join the compressor outlet to the cooler pipe has a slight kink in it, like it has been bent slightly past 90 degrees. Now its not a big kink BUT at higher boost levels, could this cause enough restriction to effect spool of the turbo & hence effect the top end?

I would be saying that the turbo is possibly the issue... If you look at mine and your results the "curve" looks almost identical (ramps hard and then hits a wall)

Jesus, they're almost identical!!

Hanaldo, I don't suppose you have a dyno graph from your tune at allstar do you? Might be pretty interesting to compare.

I just can't help but think that I'm missing something, even if you disregard the actual power figures there is a BIG difference in the shape of the graphs between SimonR32 & my graphs & almost every other graph I have seen for these turbos.

    • 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).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
