if i was you i'd be taking the car to somewhere else just to do a dyno power run, as if i had spent my hard earned $$$ and changed to a turbo that can take 18psi on a rb20 and then got less power than a standard rb20 at 14psi it would make me think "WTF"...

106rwkw at 5000rpm at 16psi apparently this is as much as a hotted up 5ltr HSV (cam exhaust, cold air) on his dyno.  It was run in 5th gear.

This is a crap figure so you know I am not lying.  There was no fan so the IC wasn't working (does that make sense.)

I have also had fitted a BOV that is set to 16.5psi, the turbo I got is not ceramic so it will go to 18psi.  

Does anyone have a comment on how what dyno figures really mean.....?

I wouldn't be at all happy with that power figure!! Stock FJ makes 110rkw!!! Mate of mine with an RB20 made 197rwkw with just a VG30 turbo, FMIC and exhuast, not tuned or anything..Did u end up getting another power run elsewhere or???

at the wheels a standard r32 gtst should make 115-117kws, with a 3" full exhaust that will get around 15kw extra then add a good fmic for another 10-15kw remap the ECU to run 14psi and that will leave you with 150-160rwkw

That is exactly what I thought. I should have around 220fwkw at 15-16psi with the mods I've got.

didn't get around running it on a dyno but I found a leak. I used permatek type 3 around the leak but I haven't run it hard yet. I'll repost when I eventually get around to dynoing again.

Doing it the way he did doesnt sound at all dodgy to me, much hbetter to tune it for those conditions, then you can be sure it wont expire in summer.

Intercooler is just a heat sink in any case, even without a fan it should be ok for a single run because while the car is idling before you run its not getting any heat transferred to it so it starts cool

My stock boost FJ20 made 124 in shootout mode

how does the VG30 turbo rate on an RB25? they are steel wheel/shaft right?

whats the difference in A/R to the RB25 turbo?

Im not 100% sure on the size differences compared with the RB25 turbo, i do know that u can get two types of VG30 turbo though, one's ball bearing the other is bush bearing...Most VGs are ceramic wheel whilst u may just find one or a few that are steel, they exist but are rare as...

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
