DYNO Result - 175rwkw@8psi


Recommended Posts

Had my car dyno'd by Autotech (ACT) last week. I feel it was a good result and was hoping for some comment. Dyno not run in shootout mode. Air temp ~14c. Blue line is std boost, red peak ~8psi.

My car has what follows,

FMIC ~ 500x300x65

3" from dump back exhaust

POD

Manual boost via bleed

Splitfire coils (not really important I know)

500hp Bosch Fuel pump

Everything else otherwise std.

Problem is the car still feels very flat under 5000rpm as the graph indicates. Also I couldn't wind boost higher than 8psi due to a misfring issue that has yet to be sorted. (btw plugs 'should' be fine. Plantium's gapped to .8mm). I believe it to be the ignitor module, or coils.

Just wondering if anyone had any comment about the powercurve re flat feelin under 5000rpm (100kph).

Thanks!!

Give it some boost, that should fix your midrange problems , but you'll need to address your missfiring problems first.

I was only getting a peak of 15rwkw between 9 and 13 psi, but midrange was huge.

Hey Robo,

Just wondering if you have any dyno sheets I could compare against?

I plan to give it some more boost, but defintley need to fix the annoying missfiring issues.

Thanks

Maxium - what motor are you running in the 180sx??

I've had mine up on AutoTechs dyno a few times so we could have a good gauge etc...

If your running a RB25det, make sure the variable inlet cam is working cause that's the first thing I thought it might be.

I've got my dyno print out of the run I did on AutoTech's dyno, I'll try and find it for you.

Hey Jay,

Sorry I should have put it in. It's a RB25det. Actually might sound weird but I think I already have yours! I did a search awhile ago for dyno runs and got a collection of guys posts and I'm pretty sure I found yours too. from the 28/1/04?

I noticed your mid range is heaps beefier than mine but top end is same ish (might be other variables of course). Did you end up getting some kind of fuel controller? Looks like from the graph you could get massive gains from tuning the AFR.

Found the dyno sheets;

Green line was the new result, red line was what it was like before the cam gear went in....

Car was a R33 GTS-t. Mods where 12-9psi (see the sheet !), panel filter, FMIC, turbo back 3 inch exhaust, cam gear set at 3 degrees retard.

The day was pushing 33 degrees too :rolleyes:

Cool (didn't realise you squeezed a post in :rolleyes: ),

Yeah, I had plans on getting a re-chipped ECU for it so I could run more timing and trim up the A/F ratio's, but I had a accident 2-3 weeks ago and I'm not sure if I'll get the car back (could be a write off !)....

I also had plans on getting a HKS wastegate actuator cause the boost drops right off up top..

I'd double check to see if your variable cam is working, then check for wastegate creep (doughtful..) but worth a try.

Just found this dyno run that you might find interesting....

It's back to back runs with the VCT working, and then with the VCT not working.

Top line is with it working, and the bottom is with it not. You can see how much of a difference the variable cam timing makes to the low/mid range :rolleyes:

Just ignore the A/F ratios on this one, after this we found that the sensor wasn't in the exhaust all the way :)

Hey Jay,

Thanks for your effort! Appreciated.

Damn hope you came out of the accident alright! What's the story behind that?

From what you've told me i'm thinking the VCT could be dud. The only other thing I was thinking of was base timing but I'm pretty sure its ok.

The 2nd dyno sheet has a far meatier low-mid range as I would have expected from a rb25, what I don't have! A practical example, I was going through a sweeping left into a form onelane when some chump in a VL (na) tried to beat me to it. After going full throttle it wasent until I hit top end did I reel and pass him. Has is that dyno of std boost?

I'll get my mechanic to check out the VCT asap but is there any easy checks I could do like unplug and if its no change then thats the problem?

The otherthing I thought it might be is related to the missfiring but that has only been occuring the last few weeks with the sluggishness ever since day 1.

Both those dyno sheets where done at the same boost levels - ie. 12psi dropping to about 9.7 up higher.. I was also running about 17 degrees base timing for those runs, but strangely, adjusting it from 15 to 17 made almost no difference !! Not sure why...

Yepp, everyone came out of the accident OK, just the cars didn't :thumbsup:

One thing that may make a difference, but maybe not, is that the bleed valve I was using has an anti wastegate creep valve built in. Not sure if it'd make a difference though...

For the VCT, just do a run on the dyno with it plugged in, and then do a run with it unplugged, you'll see the difference straight away. Another way is to check with a mutli meter to see if it's getting power to the plug, but then maybe the actual solinoid might be stuffed as well.. :)

The only other thing I can think of is maybe you've got a faulty knock sensor or something. Try running the diags on the ECU and see if any faults come up...

    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
    • Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).
    • Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance
    • Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
