Hi guys;

Been reading the power thread and seems like all of the R32s with r33 turbo upgrades are getting 190-210 rwkw, I got a tune done today at Sam (Dr Drift), first run we got 116kw after fixing a few small boost leaks etc. After that we found the fuel pump was rooted so replaced that with a Walbro, had a dr drift chip which got retuned. Turned the boost on 15 pounds, played with timing and final figure came out at 159kw. Car mods include 3 inch exhaust (stock dump / CAT). R33 turbo, boost controller and yellow jackets coil pack (and now walbro fuel pump).

Just wondering where the power loss could be? Or am I confusing between normal kw and rwkw? Do all dyno's measure rwkw? Sam said skyline's normally make around 100 rwkw? Are those 200ish figures with minimal mods the same figure as rwkw (100 stock?)

Sorry if some of the questions are noobish, just thought I'd clarify :D

btw - not like Sam doesn't already have enough plugs, he's the best mechanic I've dealt with so far - and I've gone to a few. Well worth the 1.5 hours each way I travelled :D

My car with the same mods as made just over 190 rwkw

Stock with exhaust and cooler and 12psi and stock turbo it made 150rwkw mate .

U may have a restriction somewhere

Try dropping the cat and see if it's still good and not collapsed ?

Do a compression test ur motor may just be worn out

Is ur car automatic?

Autos will have less power due to power loss through more transmission

If its manual how old is the clutch

There are a few places to start

So you picked up nearly 50rwkw from a tune and some boost...

And you still have a stock cat/dump as you've stated. If you swap those out you might make another 10-15rwkw.

Sounds about right to me. Results in the dyno thread will have proper dumps and hiflow cats etc.

Hmm ok - I might just be expecting too much also :D clutch is fairly new and CAT was put in 2 months ago so that will be fine. Next on my list is the dump and a bigger CAT though - guess different dyno's make different figures also though. Motor is in tip top condition!

P.S: Car is Manual

Does FMIC really show gains? I thought it was more for the wank factor unless you're running numbers over 220 (from what i read on the forums). I don't have one. I haven't driven it properly yet thanks to Melbourne weather (you know what I mean if you're here :D) but it drives a LOT smoother in the lower revs and power delivery is much smoother.

Not wank factor more fact. Bigger intercooler has more area to cool the charged air witch in turn gains slight power overall, due to been 10 times the size of a factory side mount. Buy a cooler kit of just jap.

They are cheap and that will have you on your way to be making more power.

From what I have seen on just jap they have some fair priced coolers.

Im sure your turner will be able to push a little more out of it once you get one.

I would also suggest getting rid of the stock front/dump pipe.

Just get a nice bellmouth pipe made up or purchase one.

Also don't buy a split pipe they seem to be a hit and miss

just so you know - getting a GTR cooler then getting someone to make up custom pipes to fit a GTST will cost same or maybe more than getting a kit of the likes of just jap.

And you are in melbourne so will be arse fisted if you cut a hole in your chassis to get the FMIC piping to go through.

If you want a FMIC, you will need a "return flow" type cooler which uses the stock piping and holes - Just jap have these, Blitz also makes them.

I have an ARC return flow which will go up for sale in th enext couple of months.

Another thing to consider is an R34 GTT side mount intercooler - but this also requires mods to one of the end tanks to fit an R32 GTST.

Out of the 2 RB20 cars I've had on the dyno over the year my results were..

152rwkw - untuned RB20 with RB25 turbo + 12psi

162rwkw - Nistune, stock turbo, 16psi

Some people will tell you you need a tune if you put new oil in.

The truth is that any performance mod will benefit from a tune, but changing exhaust and cooler and filter will give you more power but generally the car will run rich so a tune will give you MORE power and better fuel economy.

Personally I wouldn't bother with a tune a with those mods.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
