For people who are wanting 200rwkw out of their "stockish" RB25DET heres something to consider. The dyno graphs below represent my car on 2 different dynos.

The first one was done December 03 on a 20degC day and made 153rwkw. Mods were:

* bleed valve @ 13psi

* Chipped stock R33 ECU

* Turbo back zorst (with crppy compliance cat)

* K&N panel filter

The sencond one was done June 04 on a 10 deg day and made 195rwkw.

For a bit of fun, lets see if you can tell me where the extra 42rwkw came from :)

come on dude, tell us.

I am on my way, just waiting for the tune now. The Powerfc on factory maps = 200km out of a tank.

I have -

Split Dump all the wat to the Cat

Hi Flow Cat

3"5 Exhaust, 4 inch Cannon

Front Mount Intercooler (stock plenum and BOV)

Partitioned Pod Filter

HKS Exhaust cam Pulley (not fitted yet)

Apexi Power FC + Hand Controller

Bleed Valve set at 10psi

18" 235 Treads

10% Mix of Toluene

Stock Turbo

Currently on about 150rwkw

Aiming for 200 - 210rwkw after the Tune. Apparently its very possible.

ones a dyno dynamics.. the other is the dynologics.. and lets guess that the dynodynamics might be in shootout mode correct? and maybe has some temp correction thrown in for good measure..

do i get some candy?

good pratical illustration though rigga :thumbsup:

That’s why people who trying and argue, that their car is faster because it puts out more power on a dyno. Is a load of bull. I have seen similar cases of a car on one dyno putting out 320hp and on a different dyno putting out 360hp. With nothing changed to the car.

If people say that their car is quicker because it puts out more power then mine I laugh. The argument stop on the ROAD!! You could have a car that does 700hp between 7 – 8k rpm and a 300hp car with a power range of 4 – 7k rpm I reckon the 300hp car would beat it over a ¼ mile. But the guy with the 700hp car can still claim that he’s is quicker because his car puts out 400hp more……. ???? Am I right in saying that ?

In other wirds RiggaP has shown a good example of that, Cheers Mate.

Gordy, Quite easy really:D Shootout mode dyno provide a list of details at the bottom of the screen, which records intake temps, ambient temps etc. Shootout mode 2003 has green writing down the bottom, but this is no longer current. Shootout mode 2004 has blue writing and has an '04 logo. These dyno can no longer be manipulated to provide higher readings.

Shootout mode dyno provide a list of details at the bottom of the screen, which records intake temps, ambient temps, yada, yada, yada

yup, I sort of know that :thumbsup: - but I was thinking maybe rigga had photoshopped these details out to make it another interesting point of discussion.. which it is already :)

I have noticed this over time the extra details on each printout. As part of their dyno "subscription" (purchase/rental/lease?) are the dyno operators required to get the new software with each update.. or is it optional?

Take it to a Shootout dyno to get consistant results.

Common, you know that's not true, I can get perfectly consistent results running a DD not in Shootout Mode. After all, I can set the parameters exactly the same as Shootout mode, the only difference is that they are locked and displayed. That does not mean that they are not set correctly. I believe that the Shootineers Code of Conduct is far more important to consistency than a piece of software.

Sorry, that might sound a bit harsh, but I am getting a bit tired of DD shoving Shootot mode down everybody's neck as if it's the be all and end all of dyno's. :thumbsup:

The cat.

Correct. This was the only mod done between dyno runs.

ones a dyno dynamics.. the other is the dynologics..

Also correct, and forms the very reason.

So heres my point; Dynos are a tuning tool. Anyone chasing a dyno figure is missing the point IMO. As my example has pointed out, you could achieve 150rwkw at one place then have another place "retune" the car and achieve 195 without effectively doing anything. I'm not sure anyone with half a twit is going to argue you can get 42rwkw by adding a high flow cat.

A dyno figure is not going to give you any idea how fast the car is going to be, and because of this, dont mean squat.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
