Hey guys,

Well, we dynoed my RB26DETT 240SX today...

The first time we dynoed at factory boost settings, which on my boost guage was 9 PSI...

We made 320 rwhp or 239 kw, I believe this is about average for stock ecu, stock motor, etc...

Our importer thinks the motor had cams, but we aren't sure... It does have a lope to it, and if I was a betting man, I would think there is...

Maybe you guys can took a look at my dyno chart and give me an idea of what you think...

On the second pull, we upped the boost to 15 PSI, or 1 bar...The car pulled timing and started knocking...

I'm not sure if it was the fact we only had 93 octane gas in the tank, or whether the timing might be advanced too much...

The first graph is of the stock pull at 9 PSI... The second graph shoes all three pulls, with the last two being at 15 PSI...

Thanks!

Chris

Do you guys think the car has cams based on this dyno?

I was really impressed for having a totally stock motor, stock ecu, etc...

The only mods were downpipe and exhaust...

Boost controller turned to 15 PSI for the last two runs...major knocking...and not sure why...

I think you will find that the US rate their fuels differently to us in OZ, so 93 isnt equiv to OZ 93RON, actually i cant recall the unit they use but its not RON.

I take it when you say stock motor, you arent including exhaust, filter, intercooler etc With exhaust, good IC and filters and 1 bar of boost id say that would be pretty typical rwkws for an RB26.

Yeah, for 9 PSI, it's very impressive.. The sound is so loud of those turbos...

The guys that were there were commenting on how nice it sounded..

You would have really thought it was two HKS turbos with all the noise...Very loud for stock...

But, what do you guys think about the whole cam situation? Do you think it has them?

Also, why do you think we were getting knocking on the 15 PSI run?

We think that the timing may have been advanced by whatever Japanese person last had the motor... We assumed it was stock and never messed with it...

But after the knocking tonight, and the the fact that it looks advanced, we are going to check it...

Tomorrow we will be adding 118 octane race fuel and giving a 15 PSI pull...

Just from the graph she looks pretty much stock, there are other stock rb26 pulling higher figures in oz.

Also i believe and knows dynojet dyno give a higher reading than our dyno dynamic ones.

Don't let the low number dicourage u, there are ppls on here with huge hp from a stock motor with some bolt on stuff,

A cam motor has a sharper rise ihp section dependant where it comes on and alot of time when u get a motor, you usually get the aftermaket turbo free before the cams.

Aftermarket cam gear is another giveaway.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
