So this morning I had the skyline on the dyno.

Usual mods:

Hks2535 turbo

740cc injectors and walbro pump

Powerfc

All the expected bolt on mods for an average reasonably quick Skyline.

Running at about 17-18psi

Has been street tuned so I really wanted to know the power figure.

Disappointing to say the least, only 164kw atw

I have taken the car down the drag strip here in Townsville and have run times of 13.5 @ 111mph and my best of 13.3 @ 109 mph

Which I thought, while an average time, not a bad mph.

Thoughts?

Not sure what that means?

Was really hoping to crack 200kw but fell short of that by a long way.

Car is pretty damn quick for only 164kw though....

Well either the clutch is slipping, wheels spinning or the power dies off massively due to the tune

Edit: maybethe dyno operator has let the throttle off and let the power drop before ending the run.

12psi run - 130kw atw

2nd 18psi run

Makes a whole lot of noise for not much haha.

The 3 dyno papers is all I got.

I like to think of it as a really strong 164kw atw :)

Interesting enough, on another dyno

12psi is 180kw and on 14psi made 199kw atw.

You can see why I was really hoping to crack 200kw especially with a bit more boost.

Ahh the dissappointment.

Edit:

Actually just checked, 10psi made 180kw and 12psi it made 199kw.

6psi more boost and made less than what I started out at.

The evidence is there. Sometimes the answer is so simple you get confused thinking about it. I'll bet if you go back to the same dyno that showed a low figure and had someone that knows how to set it up correctly actually using it the results would be a whole lot better.

This may seem silly. But my car has a vtec controller, which I suspect is for the VCT. Car is using an rb20 ecu.

Its just set to max, didnt have enough time on the dyno to play around with it to see where it should have been set.

Anyone ever connected a vtec controller to their 25's?

I've made an identical turbocharger for the development of our SS1PU turbocharger last year. I've made 248rwkws it didn't produce much of a nice curve with noise dive after 6000RPMs. I believe the comp wheel is too small for a Rb25det, how ever would be a ok turbo for a Rb20det.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
