Unhappy Dyno Results..

In all seriousness, it's very difficult to compare even similar cars on the same dyno.

There are so many factors.... and honestly, all you can hope for is that your car reaches it's intended potential at that time in that configuration.

After chasing my ass more times that I can count trying to reach theoretical power figures, my attitude to dyno tuning now is 'It makes what it makes, just make it safe'.

I've seen variations of 50-60rwkw on my own car in the same or very very similar configuration on the same dyno/operator due to weather and temperature only.

... flattening off like that may indicate that there is a restriction present other than the turbo.

I'd be looking at a boost restriction across your cooler core/pipework, drop the exhaust for the dyno, new plugs and thinish oil, smaller wheels (if you have hecktic 22 inch chromies), clean AFM, clean air filter, check base timing and check cam timing and fresh full tank of fuel.

If there is no significant drop in pressure accross the cooler core, significant pressure build up in your exhaust, significant vac in your intake or mechanical fault, then regardless of what the dyno says (and assuming the operator/tuner know what they're doing) then your car is getting towards the top end of it's potential for it's given configuration.

... now if you want bigger numbers. Get a bigger turbo on a bigger engine with a lighter drive train on smaller wheels on a cold ass day with a silly ramp rate and a little temp correction for good measure.

Or... enough nitrous will fix just about anything.

Yer i understand at the end of the day its just a number but i was still kinda hoping for that magic number in my head

Injectors are gtr ones.

The tuner did mean the tyres on the rollers but he has only seen it happen on big power cars anf normally it frys rubber.

The wheels are only 18. But brand new tread 275.. everything else was brand new service wise...

And being a rb20 i wasnt expecting huge numbers. But at least a little more. It still drives good for what it is.

I have personally seen a poo-brown old style VW beetle run 295rwkw on the dyno. It was a friend's car and I'm sure he still has a printout. When we had all finished falling about laughing the dyno operators did a real run and it got 25kw. So it's trivial to manipulate the dyno settings to get a particular result.

It does look like you are hitting a flow limit, because power ramps up and then suddenly gets capped. Make sure the turbo intake pipe isn't sucking shut, shouldn't happen at those power levels but you never know.

Just my 2c, I had owned my r33 gtst for a while, Starting at 200rwhp. In the end it had an aftermarket turbo and all that stuff and i could easily feel the difference in power after every time it was dyno tuned. The most it made was 385rwhp on a roller dyno. I later had it tuned on another roller dyno making 335rwhp with pretty much the same boost and that was the quickest it ever felt..

275's wont help it lol thats a huge tyre for any car to turn over

dynos are for tuning and thats it. I wouldnt be too concerned. If your really worried go back and ask them to put the inlet temp sensor next to your exhaust,i am sure you will be happier with the power the car makes

ahh that sucks to hear, sorry mate. The car should still feel pretty zippy on boost though. But you might break something soon. Also, when you go to the dyno throw your stocker wheels on with 205's of a hard rubber. Trust me fresh 275's are too wide and too soft for the dyno you WILL be losing out on your power reading.

you can run stable afrs and still detonate....

Yep.

But your question suggested that the car was running out of fuel, either inectors or pump not supplying enough.

which is clearly not the case.

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.

      We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.

      This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
