Just had my car dynoed today to see what sorta power i was making..

Car made 187kw at the wheels...not sure if its any good :(

car is still runnin factory turbo but boosted to 13psi, front mount and exhaust...

Im happy with the run but curious to see what sorta pwr others are makin with a standard turbo

I guess next mod has to be a computer

That's good to know. I didn't know you could adjust the timing without a replacement ecu. I'm definitely getting a front mount given your results.

Do you still have a cat in there? I've got a "high flow" 3" but realistically they aren't that high flow. You can't proper high flow ones here, have to import them yourself.

Do you have a flatspot at all?

hey bob...im runnin a full blitz exhausted but still using the original cat in the car...all they did was advance the timing...or could it be the ignition timing...not sure...they adjusted the sensor on the front of the motor which i assume is the timing....cams in the car are still stock. i will try and upload the dyno graph....i do have a flat spot at bout 135km but then picks up again...its a fairly big drop as well

Mine was much the same before the PFC and Apexi filter. Now have 210 at the wheels (@ 1 bar) and that will do me nicely. Graph at .7bar says 186rwkw so I'm happy. Can't remember what revs that was at but I do remember that it does tail off fairly steeply and doesn't hold the boost all the way thru.

Nobody knows but there was a guy who went to all the effort and expense of before and after dyno runs on the same day at all adjustmements for the benefit of the forums (can't remember if it was here or SDU). Got no improvement, not even a change if I recall correctly.

Also, I'm not sure about the GTT being detuned with the cams when it has what is it 30?? odd kw more than the r33

About a year ago I got 182 rwkws - you need to remember guys that different dynos will give different results and so will temperatures and other things. Mine was on DynoDynamics with 10 PSI, stock turbo, stock ic, pod filter and 3 inch cat-back only exhaust - no high flow cat or front pipes.

Now I have more mods so who knows??? I expect closer to 190 on same dyno / boost.

Ben from HPI [R34 GTT project] didnt get a lot of respone out of the CAM gears either from memory - he also put tomei cams in, which may have helped can't remember.

With reference to HPI on the R34 GTT, I think what Ben had said was that the Tomei cams were just about spot on in their design and that no benefit was gained from the adjustable cam gear (exhaust only remember guys) but that there were worthwhile gains to be had without the Poncams but with the adjustable cam gear. I think what Ben was alluding to was that for cheap power upgrade, the cam gear would deliver bang for the bucks but step up to the Poncams and no discernable gain was to be had.

Must have read and re-read that article 20 times. It's where I get all my inspiration from.

Ok guys kinda off topic but anyways here goes. I'll be getting my PFC tuned soon, any places u think i should check out. Already called places like ICe and Hyper. Also I got the HKS ex cam gear, sort of wish that i saw this thread b4 i ordered it tho. lol

PS : I used to have the emange in my GTT34. um........ :)

I was the one who went to all the (great) expense of testing the Cam Gear in an R34.

I took it to H-Tech Autosports in Vermont and it cost me a packet.

For what I paid I could havebought and tunded a S-AFC!!

Do a search for Cam Gear Install and you will find the article.

Don't bother buying one fo the R34. Waste of Money.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
