Dead stock the car made 115rwkw then with a little bit of fiddling (timing etc) it made 125rwkw.

First Dyno..

152rwkw with 12.5psi & exhaust.

Stock airbox, ECU & IC.

Ran in 3rd gear.. why I don't know.

Second Dyno..

164rwkw with 15psi, exhaust, fmic & bosch910 fuel pump.

Stock airbox & ECU.

Ran in 4th gear..

Also have a run in third gear which made almost the same power (-3rwkw) so gears don't affect the final power output much at all.

In fact a higher gear made more power than the lower gears.

I questioned why and was told in the higher gear the turbo has more time to start pushing some decent air.

-----

Not much more to be had with the poor little old RB20t turbo..

Obviously runs out of efficiency hence not a big gain from 12.5psi -> 15psi.

Tuned ECU and I think it would have cracked 170rwkw easily.

Can someone explain to me why -Joel's- dyno graphs are different in the way that the power curve is. The second graph seems to shoot up faster than the first ?

-Joel- were these runs done in 2 different gears, first run being 3rd a second run being 4th ?

:confused: - Or are these 2 differnt engines ?

They are two different gears as I explained in the post.

I think the biggest reason why the first one looks a little less steep is because the bleeder was probably spiking a little through the mid range and settling on 12.5psi + the lower gear giving the impression it has more mid range.

The second dyno sat on a steady 1bar all the way through the power run and made peak power just over 7000rpm.

Its probably also got a little to do witht he ramp rate or something also as it was wheel spinning when coming on to boost even with a couple of people in the boot (crappy half bald 205's).

Theoretically running a car in different gear will yield a different looking power curve BUT the final power should be basically the same.

Can someone explain to me why -Joel's- dyno graphs are different in the way that the power curve is.

It's just the way they are scaled.

Look at the figures on the bottom and side of the graph.

The first one starts goes from 50 to 130 kmh and power is measured from 40 to 168kw.

The second graph is from 70 to 150 kmh and the power is from 70 to 165kw, but the kw axis is stretched.

If you scaled the kmh axis from 60 kmh to 160 kmh on the second graph, it would look like a very fat power curve.

Apex'i PFC

Z32 AFM

GTR injectors

FMIC

Full exhaust

Pod

HKS GT2535

Stainless manifold

11 psi

It does'nt have the power because of low boost.

- Red lines are on 11psi with no boost controller conected.

- Green lines are with the shitty Turbo Smart boost controller connected and set at 16psi.As you can see boost is all over the place.

I hope to have 300rwhp once boost is turned up.

    • 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).
