I just spent 2 hours on the dyno and finished up with 215rwkw on 13psi with the standard turbo on a Dyno Dynamics dyno run in Shootout mode. This is previously up from 187rwkw, but with the inclusion of the INTERCOOLERGUYS fmic and an exhaust cam gear, it made an extra 28rwkw. Im a happy man. Power is much stronger, especially top end.

Overall i had 16 runs on the dyno, walking in with 210-213rwkw but with a few missfires. I tried to tune out with the SAFC but to no avail. I wound down the boost to 9-10psi and was pushing around 198-200, with a nice steady climb with no missfires. So we figured, how do i run a nice clean run with higher boost, but with no missfires. I believed the extra boost was blowing out the spark. So i pulled out the plugs and gapped them from 0.8 to 0.7. Immediately at high boost there where no missfires and was getting 215rwkw on 13.3psi. Boosted it upto 14.5psi and it made 216rwkw, but midrange was lacking, so decided too back it off.

The intercooler looks great and fitted without too many dramas. Not once did the intercooler get hot during the 16 runs. A pleasure to have such a nice intercooler fitted and the performance is just great.

Holly crap you are running 13psi on the standard turbo? That sould last a few weeks at best :P I'm impressed that with the standard turbo you made 200rwkw's with 10psi!!! That seems very odd, I have a good hi-flow turbo and it is making 223rwkw's on 14psi and I have all the right gear with the exception of cam gears! Anyway stick the chart up when you have a chance.

Stop kidding yourself.

Robo's, that's an awesome result, mate. Well done! What plugs are you using, who is your tuner and how much was the cam gear/what type is it?

Im using Bosch Copper plugs 7 something code, maybe platnums might be better at higher boost, i dont know. Im the tuner, SAFC's aint the hardest to tune. Cam gear was from Ice performance, nothing special, just a modded standard unit, doesnt even have degrees on it, we had to try and work it out by eye.

May I suggest some BCPR7ES-11 gapped to 0.7 - 0.8mm for your next set. Leave the platinums to the people with more money than sense. :P

Very good result. Would be interested to see the dyno chart before and after to see whether you lost any power early on or through the midrange.

Adrian

Then you have the right plugs :cheers:

lol...

I've been racing on 1.0bar plus the nitrous for 3 months and 1.0bar for the year before that. The point is, there is NO hard and fast rule regarding when a std ceramic wheel turbo will fail. Just guidelines.

shootout mode tries to make up for different losses on the dyno ...

the good tuners i know of don't use it

MSPEC - Ben doesn't use shootout mode, our dynos are non beefed up etc..

my 270kw would be closer to 300 on shootout mode...

dont know where u got dreamer mode from. Shoot out mode is shoot out mode, normal mode is normal mode, aslong as u say which mode ur hp/kw figure was achieved in then theres no dramas really, people understand. Im with 2rismo on the turbo issue. Many people say different things. Ive been running 13psi on my standard r33 gtst turbo for over 10 months now with no ceramic wheel trouble(knock on wood). Any way that dyno result is very good matey. Congratulations there, the car did well.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
