Well as the title says i got my car on the dyno after suspecting it wasnt running as hard as it should....mods are as follows:

S13 RB20DET

Full 3" Exhaust

Nippon Denso f/pump

POD

FMIC

~11psi

what can i say, power is no where near what it should be! after only just keeping up with a ca18det sil i knew something was up.

Mechanic says all 6 coil packs are failing at once hence the power drop...

he says it should keep climbing to about 140 - 150kw once i get them replaced...

just thought id share it with you ppl, all comments welcome

my god... didn't you hear the aweful popping?!

there is no popping thats the thing, i could only feel that big dip so i knew it had to be something...

Whats with the big arse dip? dud coils would have had your car missing all the way to redline, i wouldn't have expected power to pick back up again that high in the rev range.

i also thought that if it were the coils it would be missing all through the rev range, i must admit it isnt a very smooth curve so then it leads me to think maybe it is the coils playing up??? i dunno, i dont wanna fork out $600 odd just to find out its something else... but the mechanic says its the coils

anybody else think it might not be coils?

11psi I think you will see 130-140rwkw.

15psi with stock fueling see's around 155rwkw, sort out the fueling and you then see around 165rwkw. Replace the ecu and you will see just over 170rwkw.

Get an RB25 turbo and you should get close to 185rwkw.

I would have thought 15psi and the exhaust wheel ends up sitting in the cat...

when you say sort out the fueling what do you mean? injectors? i already got a fuel pump...could you please elaborate?

i plan on a remap and rb25 turbo later down the track....

  • 2 months later...

yeah, dont boost stock turbo too much, ceramic turbine will crap itself. it's ok on s13's which have steel turbines, but be careful with that ceramic sh1t

so, did u locate the problem before replacing your coil packs? or do u have some new coils u need to offload?

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
