Need help reaching 200rwkw

[The Mafia]

I am very skeptical about dyno readings.

194 for those sorts of mods sounds a little unbelievable.

On a dyno Dynamics dyno, I got 142 at 8 PSI and I had a full exhaust installed.

My mate that owns the dyno said that they can make the readout what ever they want.. So if a non-honest mechanic wants to rip you off, he can do some mods, and make it dyno higher so you think he has done well.

The Stock ECU (even chipped ) and stock turbo are not capable of making anymore than 160rwkw - 180rwkw max.. (180 max is being generous)

Dyno readings dont mean shit. Anyone chasing a dyno figure is missing the point of a dyno.

Dyno readings dont mean shit, as your dodgy mechanic example points out. Anyone chasing a power figure is missing the point IMO.

On a Dyno Logic I recorded 153rwkw. The ONLY difference yesterday was the addition of a high flow cat and the fact it was recorded on a Dyno Dynamics. 40rwkw from a high flow cat? I dont think so.

I'd like to know why a chipped ECU (believe it or not, a chip makes a fu(kin big difference) teamed with a stock turbo cannot make more than 180rwkw.

You see my point.

As for the second part of your post. My friend had one of these "chipped" ECU's, and also had a 550HP turbo bolted onto a custom manifold (that he made) and a full 4inch Stainless exhaust which he also made himself. This car had a custom intake system (Dual R33 Throttle bodies) and this car made around the 220 mark.

A little while after, the motor blew up because of this "chip"

Be very careful son.

You see my point.

More than my posts would have you believe

Hey guys, I recently got an R33 GTST which is 100% stock and I want to get around 200rwkw just so its got a bit more power but I want it reliable, what sort of mods should I get, and what sort of price range would I be looking at? Cheers

Drive it a bit longer - drive another Skyline with 300kw (which can be made reliably) and see if you will still be happy with 200kw. Then settle on a figure and save for the mods! See the turbo upgrade threads at the top of this page to see what you need for the various power goals.

200rwkw is a fmic, 3" exhaust, boost controller, engine management and a tune away.

Or if you're on a budget and never really want more than 200kw, just get your stock ECU socketed and chipped with Toshi's map. It's optimised for AU 98RON and the afrs have been tidied up. Save that 1000$ on a tune and that 1000$+ on an ECU

You'll yield close too 200kW if not more depending on the health of your motor

Cheers guys, im just setting 200rwkw as a sort of basemark and maybe progress from there if i decide i want more, im looking at maybe $4k-6k to begin with but will that get me much at all? Im pretty new to imports ect i grew up around old school V8's and all
