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.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
