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....

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?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
