GTS-t VSPEC or Steve-SST,

which GT30 core do u have now, can u provide the CHRA number?

it might be worth your while to go up to an A/R .82 exhaust housing.

I'll get the number off the turbo tonight and post it up for you.

FATGTS-R, Are you sure it wasn't 650rwhp, cause over here all readings are done in hp. Either way, if you do try and trick the temperature readings on a DD Shootout dyno then the temperatures are shown on the bottom of the page, so it would be obvious to everyone that cheating had taken place. But I do agree that dyno's are just a tuning tool

Geniune accredited shootout dynoshave many of the settings you talk of pre set and the temps etc are printed on your print out.

FATGTS-R what is the shops name so we can see if they are one of the accredited shops with the correct software or just the standard issue.

I have now been convinced as to what people have been saying for a long time, Dyno graphs dont mean jack shit.

My car is currently in a Bayswater workshop in VIC getting some mods done.

The workshop in question has a brand spankers DD 4wd dyno.

This workshop together with APS built and developed a twin turbo kit for the LS1 engine.

On there own dyno the car made 460rwkw. On the APS dyno it made 510rwkw both times on RACE FUEL.

The car recently went interstate for a Holden vs Ford gig and won the dyno comp with a ridiculous 650rwkw on PUMP FUEL. Go figure.  

The owner of the workshop showed just how easy it is to make a dyno read a lot lot higher than it should.

One example was to "manipulate" the dynos temp sensor for a higher reading in shootout mode.

The next example, and one I did not know about was that supposedly each car that goes onto the dyno is meant to be calibrated so that when the car is doing 100km/h so is the dyno.

He ran the same car twice in a row, one time with the dyno geared correctly and once with the geariing tweaked a tad.

The difference was amazing, the outright power wasnt that much higher, but higher nonetheless but the average power was about 20kw greater all the way across. Overlapping the two graphs you would think they were two different cars.

So to all the people who write "dynos are just a tuning tool and power graphs should be taken with a grain of salt" I 100% agree with you.

This post has been passed on to Dyno dynamics to be sorted buy they say its just some fairy tail some one told some one ,as ppl do.

Actually the car made 688 rwHP at the H v F show, which is almost identical to the 510rwkw on the APS dyno.

Also, Peter from APS himself admitted (on ls1.com.au) that it was NOT on pump fuel, but his "secret APS brew".

EDIT: also, it wasn't in the dyno comp, but only as an exhibition car.

It is very rare those high hp cars run normal 98 rom fuel. Its mostly 100% C16 or 50/50 C16/98

All our dyno comps are done in rwhp over here, and as you can see our readings match up to what they did on the APS dyno, so maybe you should all stop your knocking and try a bit harder:D

I am at 438hp@wheels at 1.4bar on stock internals so i aint that far behind :rant:

Well if you believe your figure then why do you have such difficulty believing ours?

We use Dyno Dynamics dyno's in Shootout Mode, which is the acknowledge standard Australia wide.

Because thats the highest figure i ever got, and realistically its only around 400hp@wheels or even a bit less

Blah dyno reading doesent mean squat unless you can use the power and get it to the ground, and if ya getting wheels spin in third gear then..............

Put all this to rest and run down the damn 1/4 will ya :rant:

Mine will be going on the track soon at Phillip Island and Sandown with the rest of team WANG Victoria to see what it can do in the real world!!

I know you allready know this, but Phillip Island and Sandown aint 1/4 tracks, so where is the true comparison???

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
