R34 Gtt Losing Power On Dyno

Hey everyone,

I did a search and couldnt really seem to find anything, thus why i started this thread.

I have a R34 Gtt with the following mods

Blitz front mount

Nismo/Blitz turbo back exhaust, (stock cat)

Gapped dot 7 plugs, with splitfire coilpacks

Eboost 2

Everything else is stock, so the other day i went to go get it tuned. Now to the problem i need help with. We were trying to tune the car and at around 4500 to 5500 rpm the car would drop off power by up to 40 hp. and the after 5500 it would kick back up.

So the curve was smooth upwards, slopped downwards b/w 4.5 and 5.5 rpm and den kick back up. But when we were tuning on ~10 pounds this would not happen, only if we boosted more than 40 duty. i ended up making 240 hp (~180 kws) to the wheels

Has anyone had this problem before? is it because i dont have a nistune and must fix something to get the smooth curve through the computer? my tuner thinks it might have something to do with the tcs (double throttle body) not letting air in??? i read up on some dyno figures on SAU and people were

running 210 kws at 13 psi with a nistune... so im assuming the power delivery was smooth??? as well that they are still running their stock throttle body!!! I think its the nistune...

Any suggestions??

Thanks for reading!!!

Michel

If so I'm guessing you're adjusting the CAS? then that is laughable and I wouldn't be going back to that workshop.

this

but as for what you're talking about, it's actually very common to have that 'step' in the power curve. Get a Nistune, and a decent tuner will be able to sort it out easy.

Depending on the mods you have planned, consider getting a Link G4 as well. Where are you located?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
