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.

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.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
