Hey Guys,

Had my car dyno on saturday, i made 148rwkw with a stock rb20det with exhaust and FMIC, on stock boost, the guys who dyno the car thought it was way to high so checked out the dyno setup which was correct.

Does this sound right? I have the rb20det in my silvia and didn't bother checking the turbo before it was on. Do you think it is a stock turbo?

yeh this sounds right.

standard they are suppose to come with 210ps so it does equal around what you have got. next get the turbo and computer done.

my cuz did the same mods as you and the turbo/computur pulled 200rwkw.

most things i've read on mods to the r32 rb20det say that with the mods you have and also a rechipped ECU running 14psi should get around the 160rwkw mark?? are you shaw it was kws not hp as thats about the same reading?? i've been told that a vg30 turbo could get that kind of result but also with higher psi and tuning???

210-215ps is around 160kw AT the Flywheel. Not rear wheels. :D

148rwkw (~200-210kw at the FLYwheel) with say 11-12psi (which is where it should be with an Exhaust) is around the mark.

With AFR's at 12:1 & a few more degree's of ignition timing mine made 152rwkw on 12psi. I would say your AFR's are not rich, which is bad as when you decide to pump more boost in the old fuel pump won't want to come to the party and you will lean out.

15psi only saw a 12rwkw increase as the turbo begins to heat the air more and runs out of efficiency.

With a tuned computer 170rwkw is around the maximum you will get.

200rwkw must have been a very optimistic high reading dyno. Most probably a Hub Dyno.

A turbo can only flow so many cfm's before it starts chopping and superheating the air.

What dyno was that 200rwkw pulled on? All bets are it wasn't ran in the correct shootout mode/temp sensor placed incorrectly or it was on a hub dyno. :D

Doesn't matter, Dyno's are only good as a base tuning tool.

Shootout mode tries to make it an even playing field.

My RB20 did 137 rwkw with turbo back exhaust, pod and R33 turbo on stock boost and everything else stock. A/F ratio was 13 and it had a slight misfire.

After upgrading the fuel system it went down to 130 rwkw and a healthy 11.3 fuel ratio and no misfire.

This was on DynoDynamics dyno in shootout mode at Unigroup.

I just fitted a wolf 3d along with a front mount, pump, full exhaust etc and rolled 152rwkw on a roller. I've had it on a hub a few times and the numbers are CONSIDERABLY higher. Without the dump it was showing 176 rwkws (yeah.. right). Car is heaps faster on the road. Just looking at turbo upgrades now.... I'd like a real 200 - 210 rwkws.

Off topic but hey. How are you finding the wolf 3D? Is it the V4 and did you get the plug and play version?

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
