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?

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
