OK, had my car dynoed yesterday and i got some strange results i THINK, its a 1992 R32 GTS-T manual with what i presume is an RB20DET ECCS!

The only mods i have are:

Full 3" mandrel bent exhaust

Hot air pod

11 PSI and 13PSI (dual stage boost controller0

now i made 149rwkw's on 11 PSI and 159rwkw's on 13 PSI but the strange thing was the amount of torque i made. I made 417.2NM of max Torque at 11 PSI @ 127 kph and 435.0NM of max torque at @94kph.

Now i'm no expert but isn't that a lot more torque than what they are supposed to be putting out?

Anyone with similair mods can you please tell me how much torque you have?

tractive effort is whats read on a dyno, it is relative to things like the gear ur in, ur diff ratio and other things, in first gear im sure ur car will make over a 1000nm's on a dyno, u cant measure torque on a chassis dyno, only an engine dyno.

it varies hugely between dynos gear ratios diff ratios lots of things, had this argument with an idiot telling me my car wasnt capable of making the torque (tractive effort in this case) that i claimed. I cant say wether or not its right as im not hugely familiar with rb20's and dont know what gear you were in, basically dont concern urself with it, only use it as an indicator next time u have ur car on the dyno if say u have done mods...

another interesting point, two identical engines but one auto and one manual, the auto will make more torque/tractive effort on a dyno with less power but the manual will make less torque with more power...

I'm more interested at the RPM or km/h that the peak torque was made.

It may be that on 11psi boost holds constant through the rev range allowing peak torque to be made higher in the rpm.

On 13psi the boost may peak up then being to taper off maybe half a psi to 12.5psi. This will cause torque to drop slightly in the higher rpm as boost has dropped slightly. Or it may have spiked to say 14psi then settled on 13psi giving the higher peak torque at a lower rpm. :cheers:

Reason I speculate is this is what mine did with a bleeder.

I fitted an EBC and boost was held at what it was set to right until thr 7500rpm cut. No matter how much boost I pumped in to it 15-16psi it would still drop to 12.5psi over 5500rpm.

I later sold the EBC and modified the wastegate actuator's bracket so I could reduce the travel which forces boost to be held in the higher rpm's, just like an adjustable rod.

159rwkw is a good result for 13psi.

I would assume your AFR's are fairly sorted, which means your fuel pump is near its limit.

Running richer definitely drops power.

Mine went from around 153rwkw on 12.5psi with an afr of 11.8 to 135rwkw on 12.5psi by simply dropping in a new fuel pump.

It ran hell rich and blew a bit of black smoke on the dyno.

So the fuel pressure was played with and power came back up.

On 1bar with the new fuel pump & standard fuel pressure the car made 150rwkw.

With fuel pressure adjusted to lean out the afr's power came up to 164rwkw.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
