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:

      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)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
