Before you guys going ranting and raving about shootmode mode, i just done a quick search and most guys cars on this forum are dynoed in shootout mode.

Heres a couple of links to dyno graphs and you will notice these are done in shootout mode too. I think most tuners use shootout mode these days to stop manipulating figures.

Hi guys, this Dyno Dynamics (DD) Shoot Out Mode (SOM) discussions needs a few facts;

When we put our DD into SOM it automatically corrects for certain things, I will use one as an example, ambient temperature. As you all know ambient temperature affects how much power the car makes, when it is hot the power is down, when it is cold the power is up. DD decided that say 25 degrees was a good all round "normal" temperature. So if the temperature on the day that your car is being dynoed is lower than 25 degrees, then the DD software reduces the power output on the dyno graph. If the temperature is higher than 25 degrees, it increases the power on the dyno graph.

The same applies to humidity and air pressure. So you cannot say that SOM always increases the power graphed, what it does is it "normalises" the results. That way a DD in Tasmania during winter in SOM will show the same power as a DD in Cairns in summer in SOM. This "normalising" is exactly what Nissan and all the other car manufacturers do when they quote a power output for their engines. In fact the din standard used internationally requires this.

The big advantage of SOM, is that all the settings are shown on the bottom of the printout so you can tell if any "cheating" is going on. This removes about 85% of the possible ways an unscrupulous dyno operator can get "cheater" results.

Hope that adds to the thread.

Thanks sydneykid. Inasnt, that refers to people being just plain unscrupulous! You may as well stand on the load sensor and say that that's a way to fudge figures. It's obvious and not worth mentioning and doesn't aid the discussion.

All anyone needs to remember is that chassis dyno's are tuning tools. The end.

Where are you from mate i'm from frankston and i didn't know there was a dyno in carrum downs? how much does it cost to use? Also have you upgraded ur fuel sys? What boost controller u using? I want a similar result but i will put steel wheels in there, don't trust the ceramic.

You forgot to mention the Intake air probe, this is what can make 20-30 RWKW's difference very easy.

The higher the IT number on your Shootout Graph, the more correction has been applied.

If you want an honest reading, tell the DD owner to leave the yellow Intake probe lead at the dyno cabinet, here it will read Ambient temp, and you are gauranteed a non overly corrected reading.

great result!

ahh the old stock turbo debate.

my thoughts are it depends a lot on your cooler. Consider a stock cooler, running 12psi. Tests have confirmed that to get 12psi manifold pressure, the pre-cooler pressure has been over 20psi. So really you are pushing your turbo harder than you think.

Now drop in an efficient front mount that say for eg has no pressure drop. your turbo is working much less to get the same 12psi at the manifold now.

i ran my car at 13psi with the stock cooler for 6months (hard driven!) then ran it at 12psi with a good cooler and ecu making 200rwkw, and never had a problem. I have mates running 1bar with the stock turbo and good FMICs with no problems. Im not saying they wont go, but ive seen many of them pushed very hard and survive. Obviously depends on the turbo's life in japan.

NB, im talking about series one turbos, havent had experience with sII's.

Sorry to get off track of your results, but bottom line i think is that turbo not working as hard as some think with a good cooler :) I am wondering what sydneykid thinks about this just out of curiosity.

Robo, that result looks impressive. I've got a few questions for ya; What dimensions is the coola? Is it more laggy? Do you think it'll be enough to shave 0.33sec off your current ET ;) ?

My input on dyno issue:

:werd:

My input on the stock turbo issue:

The point is, there is NO hard and fast rule regarding when a std ceramic wheel turbo will fail. Just guidelines.

:werd: Great minds think alike :( For the record I have run 13psi for more than 6 months and have never had a problem.

Rigga.

The intercooler is the same as the Hybrid one, 600*300*75, but just with better piping. I got it from the INTERCOOLERGUY. I cannot notice any difference in lag. Without adjusting the bleed valve, i noticed about 0.5psi increase. Also noticed from the dyno sheets, it was keeping boost better up high. Im still loosing about 1.5psi from midrange to top end, where as the stock one i was loosing say 2psi, so a small saving there.

If i can get the same 60', a 12 is on the cards!!

All in all, i dont care if the dyno figure is sceptical, i still gained 28rwkw from a FMIC and exhaust cam gear. Thats what im happy about and i can feel the difference.

Guest Robo's

The 215rwkw chart doesnt look too good midrange, slight dip, looks like it had a miss, hence the air/fuel ratio spike. The red line is one of the dynos previously done with the old set-up, only about 170rwkw.

The 209rwkw is nice, but done in 3rd gear, hence the lower figure because of the dog leg in gearbox.

Notice the size difference between the stock cooler and the new one. HUGE :(

You forgot to mention the Intake air probe, this is what can make 20-30 RWKW's difference very easy.

Yep, that's why I said "85% of the possible ways of cheating". There is still 15% left and IT is surely one of them. But at least I can read it on the bottom of the print out, so I can't stop the "cheating" but I sure know about it.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
