First apologies for those on dialup :)

Ive just had a PFC fitted to my R34 GT-T

Yes, I know they are done on 2 different dynos, but "Seat of the pants" wise there is a noticeable difference. I am getting it red dynoed on the one that did the origional one for an accurate comparison though.

Mods are

-FMIC

-Pod filter

-3" exhaust, turbo back

-E-Boost

-Coilpacks

-PFC

(PFC and coil packs were after the first Dyno results.)

Pic below is the before dyno.

Boost was about 9psi.

Note the horrible hole in the power curve. This seemed to be where the stock computer was bitcching about too much boost.

Now we have the after result.

The Blue line is 15psi, the red line is 9psi (same as the origional dyno).

About 4300rpm you can see the boost just drop away if Im running at 15psi.

I would assume that the turbo is too small to flow enougth air after about 4300 to maintain boost?

Any Cost effective suggestions?

One thing that I noticed is how crappy the stock computer is at maintaining a good air /fuel ratio.

Just look at this before PFC dyno.

Now compare the after result.

Is my before result typical for a stock computer?

Yes the standard ecu is like that. Some are different to other model's - 95mld is know as a freak ecu as it can get upto 200rwkw's with the right components with it. Other carn't.

Other wise you've made a nice gain over stock, the only limiting factor now is your turbo. Thats the reason why it droped off at 15psi as the efficency of the hairdryer ran out at high rpm.

Next thing i'd do would be the fuel pump. Then after that look at injectors & turbo.

Ummm just a question...

How do the differing AT and IT figures play into the comparability of the readings?

I noticed that the after PFC readings have both temperatures being about 15-20 degrees higher than the initial reading. I read on another thread that the dyno computer adjusts the reading to standardise the figure based on the intake temps. So in theory, since the intake temp is higher in the second one, the reading is an overestimate when comparing with the first dyno run?

Can someone confirm please?

All dyno's are different,

You will get different reading's on any day due to air temps, calibration of dyno. You can make a 200hp car read 500hp if you really wanted to.

The best way is to stick to one dyno to see what your car gains over stock which is what Bill is going to do. ;)

You maths is very bad! lol 34-24=10 (degrees difference) not 15-20...

Yes the higher IT would make a difference but 34IT on a 24 degree day is not such a stretch. How much of a difference is beyond me.

Hi guys, both dynos are in Shoot Out Mode, so the power outputs should be totally comparable. That's why Dyno Dynamics "invented" shoot out mode" so the numbers are comparable no matter what temperature the day is, or the humidity or the altitude. The higher inlet temp on the second dyno run would result in a real world lower power output, so SOM compensates. Thus the 157 rwkw (before PFC) is totally comparable with the 204 rwkw (after PFC).

Whether the 157 or the 204 are perfectly accurate is a totally different question:cheers:

Sorry for the confusion. I was actually comparing the AT for the AT, and IT for IT, before and afters.

Before PFC AT = 11

After PFC AT = 24

Difference = 13

Before PFC IT = 15

After PFC IT = 34

Difference = 19

So technically i should have said 13-19 but i just rounded to nice figures of 15-20 instead.

:P

Im a little curious as to why the fuel pump next?

Is there anything to indicate that the pump cant handle the load now?

ahh. I see! Sorry, I'm just used to looking at ATvsIT. :rofl:

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
