Ok so, my car is shit, that's a good start.

but seriously

I always road tune my car, just do it myself with the data logit package etc.

Thought, hey why not throw it on the dyno and have a quick look at where i am at.

I'm about to upgrade the exhaust and thought it would be interesting to see what difference is made and was thinking of helping out this site with some real world data etc.

my car ......

R32 GTR

R33 rb26 stock bottom end

JUN 264 9.7mm

700cc sards

z32 AFM's stock airbox, KnN panel

2860-5's

exhaust is...

HKS copy dumps

some no name s/s front pipe 63mm x 2 into 3"

3" decat

HKS super dragger

The dyno i used is a Dyno Dynamics with latest software etc, owned privately.

The owner has tuned a few cars but, he left me to my own to use his dyno etc and just go for it.:teehee:

This is great for me, because i love playing with this sort of stuff etc. Not awsome for when i would like support.

When i went i hadn't slept for 23 hours, because of night shift, yep, shit idea, so i really wasn't on the ball on the day either, :wacko:

any way, results....

Top graph boost and tourqe

bottom kw and AF

dont laugh......

You think so?

I was thinking i was running 1.5 bar, i have a 1.5 bar gauge and upped the boost until i thought it was at the top of the gauge,

so was quite shocked to see what his dyno had to say, assuming i was running 22 psi max, i assume his sensor is reading ok???

I will fit a better gauge soon anyway to see for sure.

I really think the top of the graph is really flat.

perhaps indicating an exhaust upgrade, which i will be doing regardless.

one other thing i was thinking, with the stock air box, i only run the stock air feed, i will remove the 'chamber' from the botom of the box to see if the extra 3" hole makes much difference.

really looks like a restriction to me, the power just rises and stops dead, then flat lines......

I have my theories, but i'm keen to see what people think if could be

I have some HPI 3" dumps and twin 3" into 4" system to go on, just needs a few more bit modified etc. should be soon

Also i do have some cam gears, but not fitted, mostly because they are ebay ones, and i'm unsure if i should trust them???

true, i only have a cheap ass turbotech valve on it too.

Before a retest i will

remove the chamber from the air box

install a EBC, probably Profec B 2

install the new exhaust.

Triple check the cam timing and base ignition timing.

funny thing is, with any more than 14 degrees of timing the power seemed to drop, unless the heat soak make s a huge difference??

Ahh the joy of learning :laugh:

It also looks a bit lazy onto boost... I know -5s aren't exactly punchy on a 2.6L but surely you should be hitting 20psi a bit earlier than that?

I was thinking this also, "big" (lol) rush of power seems very close to 5000rpm on the street :unsure:

Ill bet with the new exhaust you will be able to run a heap more timing and pick up some response to boot.

lets hope so.

I really wanted to do a before/after test, will be good for me and the forum, if it makes the difference to push power over 350rwkw where it should be i will be quite shocked!!!

true, i only have a cheap ass turbotech valve on it too.

Im just running off actuators and a bleed, on much sooner than you are :)

Fix the exhaust, also check the cams are correctly dialled in, that can often be a problem.

Get 20psi holding rather than falling away to 15psi and you'll be right.

on the top graph, the boost is dropping from 27 to 25 psi, fairly sure thats right.............

Oh yes indeed, looking from my phone again, i should stop doing that :(

The boost graph is even lazier then than i thought now im looking from my PC.

Definately exhaust and get the boost control sorted so it comes on much earlier like it should. It still could indeed be the cams not dialled in correctly too.

on the top graph, the boost is dropping from 27 to 25 psi, fairly sure thats right.............

No thats wrong, thats your torque. Notice it starts way off the charts for what you could consider vacuum? Whereas the other one is accurate for what you expect.

Your boost is hitting 20 and bleeding down to 15.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
