Nope, can't use 3rd because it will kick down to 2nd at low rpm and big throttle openings.

Aside from giving inconsistent readings, that's rather dangerous as well.

Auto's are nearly always done in 2nd gear for that reason.

It's an auto anyway, so there is no such thing as 1 to 1 in any gear.

The torque converter won't lock up under full power, so there is always "slip".

:O cheers :(

fair call. when I had an auto S14 years ago,I did my dyno runs with the shifter in D,with the OD off,and had a graph that went through both gears.

the S2 stags don't have this problem,as they can be put into the tiptronic mode,and do the whole run in 3rd,regardless of load,it won't kick down. that's how my 154kw atw graph above was done. in third,in tiptronic mode.

As i have stated previously in this thread i had my car dynoed today!

And well all i can say is i am very very happy with the outcome, i have got the print outs from the day which i will post up tommorow cause i dont have time right now and a pic from it.

Anyway it made 162 at all 4 wheels :) very very happy as i was only expecting around 115-120.

So im stoked

on stock boost? 7psi you made 162awkw?

with the same mods as you bar the sitc (which doesnt really do anything on its own anyway) and i had a fuel pump, i made 140awkw on 7psi and then 160awkw on 13psi.

BTW, the 040 is an easy fit into the stagea because of its craddle design, its a good pump to use in them.

Alex: i have the sitc but its not fitted, the only mods that were on the car yesterday when it was dynoed were: Full exhaust, FMIC and Hi-Flow.

The print outs said the car was on 13psi at peak power however i do not have a boost controller *confused*

As in, your sig says

1997 Stagea RS4

Mods: BOS SS Split Dump/Front Pipe, BOS SS High Flow Cat, Fujitsubo Cat Back, ARC Crossflow Cooler Kit, Z32 AFM, Apexi Panel Filter, Apexi SITC.

I dont see anywhere where it says TURBO UPGRADE...

Of all the mods I did, the turbo was the only one I really felt and you leaving it out made me doubt the 160awkw.

Putting a bigger exhaust on will raise the stock boost level due to a change in pressure or something like that...

On a stock S13 Silvia turbo I put a full turbo-back 3" exhaust on and the boost went from 6psi to 10.5psi.

My exhaust is 3" turbo back on both my cars, and both have the standard stock boost of 7/8psi.

Little surprised bout your results simon, l thought you may get more than that due to the turbo, as l've got a few less mods than u and got 150.4 on that dyno.

Only thing l can think is that the SAFC2 makes a big difference!!!

SAFC does make a big difference.

See, me and simon are compensating for tune by just flowing more air via the high flow (higher... flow...:P)

A stock turbo is good for ~180-190awkw in stageas so with a proper tune it really gets up there.

Put it this way. I could make 200awkw+ with only the following engine mods. R34 GTT cooler, GCG high flow, full exhaust, SAFC and SITC. Thats all.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
