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.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
