Hi guys,

Recently had my 32 Gtr on the dyno to fix an unrelated boost controller issue which has now been solved. However the problem is my car has lost roughly 150hp since it was first tuned.

Specs of my setup

Stock 26 motor

Type B Poncams

3582R

All supporting mods, Exhaust, Fuel etc.

It was tuned on a hub dyno originally and made 510hp at the rear. Just recently my tuner has bought his own roller dyno which is what my car has recently been on. Obviously you expect some power loss because of the different dyno (he has a few other cars which have been on the same hub dyno as mine and they have experience about a 10% drop in figures). So now im trying to figure out how my car has gone from 510 all the way down to 365.

I have checked the following things;

-Ive removed each piece of the exhaust and checked for blockages and there is none (no cat)

-Ive done a compression test, 152-158 across all cylinders

-Ive taken the timing cover off and rotated the engine until the timing marks on the cam gears lined up with those on the head. Not sure if there is a way of me getting the motor to TDC without being able to see the gear at the bottom to ensure i have checked that the belt has not skipped a tooth? The belt and tensioners etc. were changed prior to the car first getting tuned.

When the car was on the dyno there were no obvious reasons as to why the car had lost power. It held boost fine, AFR stayed constant...Tuner said between 7 and 8k rpm it started to break down a little which may be because of the stock coil packs, but couldnt cause 150hp difference.

I've run out of ideas and its doing my head in, so any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

I'd suggest, unless it feels significantly slower than it used to, that it hasn't lost any real power.

Trust conversion/comparisons between dynos at your peril. If the ignition timing is the same, the boost is the same and the AFRs are the same, and there are no blockages or boost leaks, then the power shouldn't be much different.

One thing you didn't say you'd looked for properly was boost leaks.

I recently lost a lot of power on my car and did all i could to get it back. Timing was bit retarded and advancing it got a lot of it back.

BUT then I did my service which was overdue - plugs, oil flush/ new oil, oil filter, new air filter - BAM a completely different car!

Service - a simple overlooked thing. Do it if you havent/

I can see what your saying with comparing dynos, I'm just concerned because the variance is so large. In terms of boost leaks, couldn't hear anything when it was on the dyno and held boost fine. I'll have a closer look at the intercoooler pipes and stuff anyway. Car was serviced probably less than 2k ago. Good tyres and good clutch. He has just had another gtr on there, had - 5's, similar cams and 17psi...made 370? Does this sound about right or should it be more also?

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
