Haha nah that was exactly how I recieved the car from Japan with just an airpod and catback exhaust with a straight through pipe added. No tuning involved, just put it on the dyno for two runs to see the power I recieved and thats what I got. Is that result unusually high?

I thought that lower graph the one not showing the hp output was the A/F ratio?

hey dude,

nah thats your boost level. It looks like ur runnin a bit more than 9psi and its runnin out at the top end.

I think you could of asked for an a/f ratio on the side? Most give boost readings, but some give a/f ratios. Some give torque figures... all dynos are different remember dude.

His cars doin what 99% of turbo cars wit no boost controllers do so no worries there :) Even some bleed valves and incorrectly installed/tuned boost controllers drop boost levels down at higher rpm

If you have a stock (small) turbo its very hard to keep it at high boost levels at high rpm remember

Yeah I should have asked for the different printouts.

Was reading the latest issue of HPI with the latest update for there R32 RB20DET. They just got there car dyno tuned and it produced 145rwkw. Mine produced 193hp which is about 144rwkw. Im trying to figure out why this is the case because with a 1rwkw difference they also have a FMIC and GTR injectors.

Is there anything I should be looking for in case something is playing up and producing more power but at the same time damaging it? Like advanced timing? Running rich? Just want to get those things out of the way before going and looking for hidden mods which I havent discovered yet.

Cheers

GTR injectors wudnt do anything extra power wise as standard ones can do that much power as you proved!

Different dynos read differently, some read higher some read lower.

Yes advanced timing would play a part, can get you as easy +- 10rwkw as well as other tuning (as well as other things like engine/turbo condition too!).. i wouldnt worry get hyperdrive to service your car and they will check things over and let you know if anythings up dude :) Lumpy knows his stuff and would let you know if something was up!

Dyno readings from shop to shop vary. Its as simple as that.

Or you could have a chipped ecu?

BUT.. Something looks a-miss.

Is that an Intake temp of 45degree's I can see?

Possibly the intake temp sensor was position incorrectly causing an inflated reading.

i was wondering about those temps too :(

45 degrees in winter?........

The ambient temp was 28 degrees, in a Perth dyno room, sounds reasonable. Note the car has POD, no CAI or heat shielding mentioned. So +17 degrees (28 to 45) due to hot air through the radiator and into the POD is not unusual.

:(

Bugger that then.. I'll stick with my stock air box + 100mm cai.

I was getting 25degree AT temps & 25degree IT temps with the sensor placed up the CAI poking in to the airbox a little.

Boostworx dyno room is located at the back of a Tin Shed, he does have a big arsed noisy fan though.

:rofl:

So what your saying is that there is no abnormal dyno errors that is making my result seem inflated? And that my result is correct?

Based on what I have seen, Lumpy has no need to give out false readings.:rofl:

So there must be something that I am missing then because if I'm not mistaken I shouldn't be producing that amount of power considering the mods I have. Took the kick panel to see if the ecu was chipped or not. Nothing unusual about it just had the nissan sticker in the corner with a 22 printed in the LH top part of the sticker. Could be chipped but I wouldn't know until I actually removed the ecu and changed it with another one.

What sort of things should I go looking for that may be hidden, giving me extra power?

All of Hyperdrives dyno sheets appear to have a 40+ degree IT with a fairly cool 28degree AT.

Maybe its the positioning of the sensor?

I recently saw a friend mine have his R32 tuned at Boostworx (where I get mine done), bonnet open, pod with no shielding and big fan blowing.

The sensor was placed basically directly behind the headlight in a groove of the pods filter.

The AT temps were 28degree's. IT temps were pretty much always +5 degree's.

I really don't know. :(

Boostworx dyno room is seriously far from being optimal, its a small enclosure with limited exhaust suction that is located towards the back of a larger shed. Bugger all free clean air blowing around. I always leave Boostworx after a tune with my eyes stinging. :(

Their dyno probably reads slightly higher than the norm.

Which is exactly why comparative figures should be taken with a pinch of salt. Do a few mods and watch the gains then be happy. :D

You never know.. It 'may' be running an rb25 turbo or something. :)

So your saying that hyperdrive's dyno is giving a much higher reading than it should be? Also I was comparing my IT result to the HPI RB20DET and they had an intake temperature of 19 degrees. Would my high intake temp reading be enough to offset my actual power output?

The idea of dynamic dyno's temperature compensation is that hotter air will reduce power, cooler air will increase power. The dyno makes a compensation to try and give a constant power level regardless the air temperature.

The dyno has a middle figure. Say 25degree's.

If the IT is over 25 degree's the dyno will apply its calculation and show an increased power level.

Anything under 25degrees and they dyno will apply its calc. and show a decreased power figure.

The aim is to try and keep power levels consistant across air temp differences.

This method is open to 'fiddling' as when the air temp sensor is placed in a location that doesn't indicate the true air temp the engine is ingesting.

I'm not saying your figure is way off as its not. It is around the mark.

After all a stock R32 with only an exhaust will make 135rwkw maybe 140rwkw if its in good nick and the fuel pump isn't supplying too much fuel killing power.

Installing a new fuel pump, I went from 155rwkw down to 130rwkw on 13psi.

12psi made 152rwkw, ebc then dialed in 15psi and it made 164rwkw.

The difference is your making 144rwkw with only 9psi.

Maybe you have a little bit of hidden headwork or possibly a cam gear is out a tooth allowing the motor to breathe easier in the top end, hence only 9 psi!?!? I'm not really sure. :(

Damn.. I'm spamming out this thread.. A mod of this section care to create a new thread out of my dribblings?

The temps definitely sound reasonable then.

Its probably a good thing to tune with the bonnet down. At least you get a semi-real world environment with real under bonnet temps and then you know it won't ping once you get it on the road.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
