Wade sorry to say but I dont think that is a true result.

Your mods are exactly the same as mine apart from a full exhaust which I had with a split dump, highest flowing cat around and 3inch catback and I only made 160awkw.

Maybe it was an optimistic dyno? Sorry I dont beleive you, but please post a dyno graph.

Hello People,

I will arrange to get the dyno image scanned...

For now I can tell you the following:

In 3rd gear on APC's 4WD Dyno: 1st August, 2006! (RECENT ENOUGH)

75kw @ 2400 95kp/h

100kw @ 3200 115kp/h

125kw @ 4000 135kp/h

150kw @ 4800 150kp/h

175kw @ 5600 160kp/h

200kw @ 6400 180kp/h

203.8kw@6600 190kp/h :sorcerer:

I promise you guys this is not bullshit! I watched them do every run

as they were tuning in my e-booost boost contoller...

They also put new platinum spark plugs in before the run.

Anyways I will post actual dyno sheet the moment I have the scanned file

Till then...thanks for the kind words to those happy for my result!

Maybe just maybe reading my mods and results might save some people some money!

I have had 200sx/ Supra/ R32 Skyline all 12sec-13sec cars

I feel as though the Stagea is feeling like a 13-14sec car

I also have owned many motorbikes my current ZX10R :ninja: has 165hp @ back wheel

and easy 10'S...

I do have half a clue guys...my 32 years on this planet helps!

Wade

Also...

I did ask about whether or not I would see much improvement over the 203awkw if I added

a z32 AFM, the guys said the tunability wouldn't be as good and the power would not increase that much

the best way to go would be an aftermarket ecu and ditch the AFM altogether!

But going an aftermarket will never be as good as factory for smooth running...

Also the power getting up to 250-300awkw will mean bigger injectors

tougher transmission, maybe forged pistonbs etc..

200 - 220kw is a good figure! I think car is much better to drive also, lopes along like a V8 now!

Here is a little camparo:

Stagea 1650kg 320-330kw at the flywheel 17k + 3k = 20k+

911 Turbo 4x4 1650kg 310kw @ the flywheel 200k+

Cayenne Turbo 2400kg 330kw @ the flywheel 200k+

I have leather, ABS, Airbags, Sunroofs, Climate contol etc

This is truly a great car with alot of bang for your buck!

Cheers,

Wade

great work wade, just want to mention that an aftermarket ecu will be able to run exactly like a factory car if the tuner knows what he is doing, and u choose the right ecu. im not sure if your auto or manual. manual is easy as u can use any ecu, auto is rather tricky though.

cheers

Thanks guys! I wouldn't mind fattening up the midrange power a little more...

Do you think looking at my dyno results that an SAFC would help me get some

more midrange and maybe even a little more top end power?

Once the boost gets past about 12 psi the car really takes on a different personality

it feels really quick above 4500rpm and 12psi+ boost I have seen 16.5psi

on my e-boost peak hold function.

There really is no difference between power made between 7psi setting and 14psi

setting before 4500rpm (approx). (Maybe an SAFC might help with this too?)

* Although it isn't such a bad thing not making huge power down low (petrol$$$)!

I will try to find out what if anything has been done to my ecu, as far as I can see

it is all stock and I can definately assure you the previous info re: my mods is

100% correct!

I don't have a chart with AFR's I will see if the guys can get me one though...

In the meantime I can tell you taht AFR's were pretty much between 11 and 12

The guys were telling me the car is running 'SAFE' as!

Go champ!!... so your Stagea actually feels quick? :D cant wait to get the rest of my mods fitted and tuned :( ...did you install your eboost? and where did you mount it ..i need to fit mine this weekend but its so damn big i dunno where to mount it and still keep the factory look interior

Top of steering column of-set to the left, you can still see speedo needle

all your gear lights and tach, plus all warning lights, turn your ignition as far as you

can without starting car that way you can see all warning lights and position

accordingly...

Mount the solenoid near the factory one I guess easier with hoses etc..

*You might want to locate it to be a bit more stealth, just make sure all hoses

are on tight!

wade if the afr's look good then a SAFC won't help much.

although if the afr's look good at that level of flow it is surprising the factory ecu didn't go much fatter.

if the car went thru 180kph to 190kph does that imply the ECU speed limiter has been tampered with and possibly the ecu is not standard?

203awkw should keep you happy.

Still not sure about the ecu?

With regard to speed...maybe the extra speed is just momentum

but, like you say if it isn't maybe that is confirmation my car has been chipped...?

The car was totally stock when I bought it but maybe it just appeared that

way because they put all standard parts back on for ADR's...

I am certainly happy with my current result, just wouldn't mind a little more

fine tuning to beef up that midrange between 4500rpm -5500rpm

basically I would like to reverse the hump and make it a bump! Ha!

Do you think an SAFC would be capable? (Relatively low cost mod.)

    • This is for an RB20DET. Sorry for not including that. 
    • Welp, this is where my compression lands after my rebuild. Thoughts? I have ~6 hours on the motor. 
    • Well, after the full circus this week (new gearbag, 14 psi actuator on, injectors and AFM upgraded, and.....turbo repair) the diagnosis on the wastegate is in. It was broken. It was broken in a really strange way. The weld that holds the lever arm onto the wastegate flapper shaft broke. Broke completely, but broke in such a way that it could go back together in the "correct" position, or it could rearrange itself somewhere else along the fracture plane and sit with the flapper not parallel to the lever. So, who knows how and when exactly what happened? No-one will ever know. Was it broken like this the first time it spat the circlip and wedged itself deep into the dump? Or was it only broken when I tried to pry it back into place? (I didn't try that hard, but who knows?). Or did it break first? Or did it break between the first and second event of wierdness? Meh. It doesn't matter now. It is welded back together. And it is now held closed by a 14 psi actuator, so...the car has been tuned with the supporting mods (and the order of operations there is that the supporting mods and dyno needed to be able to be done first before adding boost, because it was pinging on <<14 psi with the new turbo with only a 6 psi actuator). And then tuned up a bit, and with the boost controller turned off throughout that process. So it was only running WG pressure and so only hit about 15-16 psi. The turbo is still ever so slightly lazier than might be preferred - like it is still a bit on the big side for the engine. I haven't tested it on the road properly in any way - just driven it around in traffic for a half hour or so. But it is like chalk and cheese compared to what it was. Between dyno numbers and driving feedback: It makes 100 kW at 3k rpm, which is OK, could be better. That's stock 2JZ territory, or RB20 with G series 550. It actually starts building boost from 2k, which is certainly better than it did recently (with all the WG flapper bullshit). Although it's hard to remember what it was like prior to all that - it certainly seems much, much better. And that makes sense, given the WG was probably starting to blow open at anything above about 3 psi anyway (with the 6 psi actuator). It doesn't really get to "full boost" (say 16 psi) until >>4k rpm. I am hopeful that this is a feature of the lack of boost controller keeping boost pressure off the actuator, because it was turned off for the dyno and off for the drives afterward. There's more to be found here, I'm sure. It made 230 rwkW at not a lot more than 6k and held it to over 7k, so there seems to be plenty of potential to get it up to 250-260rwkW with 18 psi or so, which would be a decent effort, considering the stock sized turbo inlet pipework and AFM, and the return flow cooler. According to Tao, those things should definitely put a bit of a limit on it by that sort of number. I must stress that I have not opened the throttle 100% on the road yet - well, at least not 100% and allowed it to wind all the way up. It'll have to wait until some reasonable opportunity. I'm quite looking forward to that - it feels massively better than it has in a loooong time. It's back to its old self, plus about 20% extra powers over the best it ever did before. I'm going to get the boost controller set up to maximise spool and settle at no more than ~17 psi (for now) and then go back on the dyno to see what we can squeeze out of it. There is other interesting news too. I put together a replacement tube to fit the R35 AFM in the stock location. This is the first time the tuner has worked with one, because anyone else he has tuned for has gone from Z32 territory to aftermarket ECU. No-one has ever wanted to stay Nistuned and do what I've done. Anyway, his feedback is that the R35 AFM is super super super responsive. Tiny little changes in throttle position or load turn up immediately as a cell change on the maps. Way, way more responsive than any of the old skool AFMs. Makes it quite diffifult to tune as you have to stay right on top of that so you don't wander off the cell you wanted to tune. But it certainly seems to help with real world throttle response. That's hard to separate from all the other things that changed, but the "pedal feel" is certainly crisp.
    • I'm a bit confused by this post, so I'll address the bit I understand lol.  Use an air compressor and blow away the guide coat sanding residue. All the better if you have a moisture trap for your compressor. You'd want to do this a few times as you sand the area, you wouldn't for example sand the entire area till you think its perfect and then 'confirm' that is it by blowing away the guide coat residue.  Sand the area, blow away the guide coat residue, inspect the panel, back to sanding... rinse and repeat.
