Guess my rwkw from these mods!

[jamesh3]

Hey people, I bought a skyline with a lot of mods but have yet to get it dyno'd so i have no idea what kw's its putting out.

I've listed what its had done and hopefully some1 can tell me possibly what power it could be putting out and any estimated times likes 0-100 km/h, quarter mile. I know nothings rock solid till I get papers to prove. Im after a sheer estimate.

The car is:

r33 GTS25T 95' Series I

GTR Front Mount Intercooler

GTR Fuel Pump

T3/T4 Highflowed VL Turbo

Apexi S-AFCII *yet to be tuned at Croyden 'Racing Emotion' will get Dyno before and after*

GReddy Profec B Boost Controller

Blitz Dual Turbo Timer

3" Exhaust

High Flow Cat

MegaFlow Muffler Twin 2" Tip

Pod Filter

Blitz Open-Atmosphere BOV

Brass Button Clutch

Locked Dif

Light Racing Rims

9.5" Wide Rear Tires

Lowerd 3" Inch *Estimated*

Strut Brace

Always run Optimax 98 Octane.

Stock ECU *Yes, PowerFC soon, Autronic would be nicer*

Max Boost 10psi because of Stocko ECU.

I'll have to get it on strips soon. Have to get 3-point belt first right?

Anyway anyone who has similar mods and any times, or readings would be great.

Cheers:run:

at 10psi i guess: 231rwkw

:headspin:

[JimX]

I would guess 200rwkw, low to mid 6s 0-100, 13s quarters.

Out of interest, why do you think Autronic would be nicer?

[R32Big_boy]

because they make a top notch computer

[JimX]

I still don't get it.

[Blade]

Definately around 200rwkw ... also depending on your engine condition

JimX, can you please explain why you dont agree that the Autronic is not nicer then the PowerFc

because Leewah uses it and he has a 600kw GTR?

JimX, can you please explain why you dont agree that the Autronic is not nicer then the PowerFc

uh, oh ... i can see another ECU debate brewing

Depending how the SAFCII goes with the static ignition timing i think you will make about 220rwkws with more to come with the management sorted...provided your T3/4 is a good thing

I didn't say the Autronic wasn't a better ECU. I was looking at his mods which are very mild, and wondering why he thinks an ECU geared up for racing cars would be "nicer". I'm not sure, but doesn't it ditch your climate control along with many other aftermarket ECUs such as Motec? This could have been something they've fixed, but I seem to remember way in the past reading that it didn't support the Skyline's climate control.

For a mild car, all I can see in an Autronic would be a higher initial purchase cost, higher tuning costs, a limited number of tuners that could do it, and potentially no more climate control. "Better" argument aside, I still can't see how it is "nicer".

[jamesh3]

Ahhhh great estimates, thanks.

I have done 0-100 in 6.01 with 1 passenger at 10psi, granny shifting with a stop watch.

I was a little disappointed with that thinking i would get into the 5's possibly a little easier. I would have to get into Mid 5's if i was running 10psi, No passengers, and Double Clutching. You can really feel the difference even with one passenger.

As for Quarter Mile. I did a street quarter mile at an approx 13 sec with 1 passenger, 10psi, granny shifting. I believe i'd get into mid to low 12's if no passengers, double clutch.

One Last Question. If I got my new ECU and say boosted to 14 - 16 psi. What type of rwkw and Quartermile times could i get then. Would we be talking about low 12's, high 11's would be nice. The difference between 7 and 10 psi is huge. That extra 3 psi gives me 20km/h higher speed in 2nd gear. So if i had another 4 - 6 pound. I'd imagine it'd really start flying then.

Yeh good point, I wouldnt get a Autronic for 2 reasons in my situation. 1. The price. 2. I'd have no use for my T Timer or Boost controller no more. Autronic handles all that. Its funn adding parts here and there to your car. There's a place i seen who said they'd do an Autronic for me for like $3000 or something, they great mechanics, but I'd just go the PowerFC coz all up you can buy 1, have it installed and tuned for around $1600. I never knew that about Climate Control? Surely the new models wouldnt have that problem, anyway who cares, i aint getting one.

The difference between 7 and 10 psi is huge. That extra 3 psi gives me 20km/h higher speed in 2nd gear.

Thats odd, as the top speed in each gear is restricted by the rev limit, unless you were shifting earlier, and changing boost wont change your rev limited

As for Quarter Mile. I did a street quarter mile at an approx 13 sec with 1 passenger, 10psi, granny shifting. I believe i'd get into mid to low 12's if no passengers, double clutch.

You should go a lot faster if you dont double clutch, you only need to double clutch a non-syncro gearbox, like an old truck or something.. meaning push the clutch in, let it out when its in neatural and blip the throttle, push the clutch back in and finish the gear change...

hahaha u think u would run quicker 0-100 times if u were double clutching?????

I think u mean flat shifting????

double clutching? wtf? i think you've been watching a little too much fast and the furiNAWS.

vin diesel's granny shifting speech was full of crap and didn't make sense... oooh..

[jamesh3]

Hmmm Ok. Firstly Yeh. I usually run standard 7 psi. Which gives me 80km/h in 2nd at around 6500 rpm. when i use boost controller and put it up to 10psi, i can do 100km/h in 2nd gear at same rpm 6500

As for doubleclutching. Have you even tried it? It really kicks you in to the back of your seat surges the car forward. The difference between 'flat' shifting and double clutchin in 3rd and above makes quite a difference. Certainly gets you do the next gear quicker.

This thread is great!

Must be all that "double clutching" which is changing your gear ratios on the fly dude!

[Blade]

Correct if im wrong...double clutching is depressing clutch entering neutral releasing clutch...get the sybnchros moving then depress clutch and enter gear...gas on..?

Thats not what u do in a drag...u just quick shift or flat shift

Yes Vin Diesel what you were told to say in the script is WRONG.

Please explain to us what you think double clutching is????

Dude the car does Nkm/h at Xrpm regardless. You will not change this without changing the gear ratios in the gearbox or the diff.
