Hi Steve-SST,

 

I have an RB25 with ARIAS pistons, Linished, Shot Peened and Cryo Tempered Rods, HKS GT 3040, HKS topmount manifold, PFC, Tomei Poncams 256/9, 550cc Sards, Greddy/Trust Plenum, Ported Head Iski valves prings, Micks MC bar & plate cooler 100mm, E-Boost and Trust Type R W/G 45mm, Q45 Throttle Body, Q45 AFM, 90mm Fujitsubo Exhaust, 90mm dump & very hi flow cat.

 

Max I could get out of it was 330rwkw @ 21 PSI. (DD Dyno in shootout mode - do a search and you will find the dyno graph I posted)

 

 Since my car is very similar spec to Pauls and Magics -  

 

 If I change from PFC to Wolf - am I gonna get 50 rwkw increase ???

 

 Cheers !

 

/edit  = PS I run 118 mph (18PSI) - but I am CRAP at drag racing :)

 

 

What 50rwkw???

Yours is 330rwkw which is 442rwhp which is the same as Magics run on the DD dyno. His 511rwhp is the different hub dyno which the yanks use. So a change to a Wolf will bring you 0rwkw increase.

The Drags will tell the tale eh TJ, GOTBOOST will cause the next round when we post Seans next 1/4 times loaded with china made parts on stock motor and injectors.

Seans car will do a 10, maybe a 9. its a brilliant effort for someone who built that car from scratch at home. Seans also one of the nicest guys out, and were all rooting for him to get the time. Tristan likewise, he is a champ and one of antilag.com's more cherished members. he just isnt as well known.

last warning guys. stop baiting each other with stupid and immature comments.

Anything i deem to be off topic will see a warning handed out.

Buster - you should know better, why post something like that?

im trying to let this discussion go but some of you are taking it knowingly too far

Magic1 got 511rwhp at a dyno comp at the WA Salon, enough to win his class at the event. He wins a prize. He did it with an wolf and stock injectors. End of story really. His car is quite fast. A terminal of 120mph is not always going to correspond to a 'dyno' reading in shootout mode, due in a large part to the fact that a dyno cannot replicate the track environment or the odd bad day for a driver or a set of dirty plugs etc.

His car has a engine setup that on paper should be able to produce 500 flywheel hp on a good day without too much fuss, can't see much controversy about that. The standard injector thing is interesting, there is a way of getting more fuel in to do the job (appart from fuel pressure) can anyone guess?

Why people get worked up over dyno print outs beats me. The dyno is a great tuning tool, go in increase the power from where you started and your happy. Dyno sheets work better as toilet paper than something to compare my car with someone elses, I couldn't care less. However I'm often interested to hear about people having success in tuning their cars from a general veiw of engine characteristics that show up in the dyno's measurements.

The post stands it did make 511 on Speedworks dyno and as Tristan said read the following posts and you will find out what it made in shootout.

Speedworks claim their dyno is the only one thats right i think our dyno is but you guys make up your own mind.

Roy Robinsons s13 ran 11.02 and makes about 440hp on the Speedworks dyno..

now lets do it the drag method..

using the drag calculator on ray halls site found at

http://www.turbofast.com.au/Drag.html

roughly roys car will more than likely tip in at 1250kg with him in it..

lets convert that to pounds at 2.20462 pounds per kilo..

2755.775 pounds...

choosing the find HP option, we put in the weight, 2755.775, punch in the et, 11.02, and click calc..

406.87 hp..

seems pretty close to me steve...

lets see what Tristians car runs shall we..

Interesting thread to say the least...

Firstly congrats to magic1, you have yourself a solid power figure there, that is a fact. It's obvious steve-sst is shit stirring, but sydneykid isn't stupid enough take the bait, i don't see him posting any crap. It's evident that steve-sst likes to use customer cars to promote his shop and the wolf; eg, nd4spd, gotboost, gtstvspec, rob77(until things went bad) it's funny how when things go bad its kept quiet, or always blamed on a mechanical failure, not tuning. what about the many other customer rb25dets that have melted? magic1's car is just being used to put sst in the spotlight, i bet this thread was created without even consulting him.

These type of 'workshop promo cars' are usually tuned with 500% more care than your average customer car, because it represents the workshop to an extent. At the end of the day this thread was made to create interest for sst workshop, getting your attention with such a high power figure, using only stock injectors. steve-sst had this well thought out, and knew that it would create a big debate, if he kept his little trick a secret.

As Jay95 has said, isn't this forum to share knowledge of Skylines? If this thread is just to promote the workshop it should simply be closed because this is poor. There can be no other reason to post this power figure, and then keep this technique a secret, other than to expose this workshop and the ecu. I personally don't care how they did it, im not even chasing that sort of power.

Threads like these do not benefit your average user at all, they simply confuse them. If it was as simple as, "use a fuel pressure regulator with your stock injectors and your fuel system will support 511rwhp, like mine did!" thread, then that would be informative, but as far as i can see, this is pointless.

I connected a set of standard injectors to my washing machine and gave it a 100% duty cycle burst of preen on the spin cycle....there was signs of detonation in my undies only...but damn they come out clean.....thats about the best thing i have acheived using standard injectors...hope this helps

i spoke to soon....the detonation was all too much and its since given up the ghost....it seems to have burnt out my bigend leaving severe scorch marks in the lower half on my undies......unable to be rebuilt,sandblasted or built up with stitching....looks like i have to get a cheap low klm import pair of undies(hopefully from a japanese school girl :)) ah well....thats the price you pay for living on the edge.....

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
