got my car tuned by Tim Possingham from Adelaide's Tilbrook dyno centre the other day. My car is a 1996 GTST. Anyway he showed me the print out which shows that my car is putting out 200rwkw at only 10.5pounds of boost. Is this possible?

The mods to my car include:

-power FC

-front mount intercooler

-3" apexi N1 exhaust turbo back

-K&N air filter

-blitz sbc-id electronic boost controller

He also didn't install any fuel pressure regulator.

Anyway, i'm kinda sus cos the car doesn't seem to feel that much more powerful then before when i didn't have it tuned.

that could have been your peak power, but maybe your power band isn't as nice to you as your peak

i had a 187rwkw

then added 3" dump + hi-fow cat + 3.5" stainless steel intake unichip

i got 182 rwkw

lost 5 rwkw at the peak but more power band is completely diff engine is work no where near as hard as before, and i can get up to speed alot quicker, but peak isn't as much and my fuel comsumption changed from 250 ks to a tank to 400ks, its all in the tune

my 2c

i havent had my car dynoed or tuned before and im soon to have a dump/front installed to my current mods which are only cat back and pod. Roughly how much rwkw's will it have after the exhaust is completed. I was told quite a while ago by rpm when i was looking a exhaust that they could extract approx. 200 rwkws with pod, tune and full exhaust. is this possible?

Maybe you should see my power curve before commenting on it....

Steve-SST, My point was that dyno figures dont really mean that much IMHO... To me it was important to sort out the A/F ratios and from that obtain a nice power curve. I dont have a scanner sorry to post it up, but it was tuned my ICE performance in cheltenham on a dyno dynamics dynometer.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
