Hi fellas,

I started this topic to see what kind of results some guys are getting on an engine dyno around the 600hp+ mark. In particular, actual engine torque values and rpm it is achieved (instead of measured by rolling road dyno).

So, anyone tuning on an engine dyno and have some torque figures to share; nothing specific, RB26, RB26, RB30... sorry if this topic is conflicting with the dyno result thread but it it more specific to engine dyno.

Thanks,

Mike

I have only ever heard of maybe two RBs being tuned on engine dynos, one RB25 making ~1400hp and one RB26 making ~1700hp - probably not too helpful for this topic, most people aiming for "only" 600ish are content with a rolling road or hub dyno :)

600hp+.... they can post it in here!

I know BoostdR had some results, I can't find it however. It was an RB30 with twin -10s that made good strong power.

I don't know of any tuners or engine builders here who have an engine dyno - the only ones I have seen are in a Polytech and one in a place doing research on fuels - which is not to say that there aren't some somewhere. I have seen a video of an Aussie speed shop somewhere that has one.

There are a few in Adelaide; most would not go to the trouble of an engine dyno but IMO it is the best way to tune and run in an engine prior to fitting it to the car. Also the only way to get a true reading of torque (and engine power).

There is one up our way, costs by the time you wire it all up etc are a bit steep, we were thinking to do the run in and basic tune on it and makes life simpler if you want to inspect the engine internally or work on it, in our case we are still unsure if its the right thing for us.

Maybe. maybe not.....

Yeah mine was done in Adelaide prior to me buying it.

2.8l with turbonetics GTK850 25psi on 98 with 10% meth-- 760hp & 780nm @ 5500rpm from memory.

Will try and find the sheet.

Thanks Richard, I will have a look for BoostdR's result somewhere on the forum today too.

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
