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.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
