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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
