Hey all,

Had my R32 Gtr dyno'd not that long and would like to see people's thoughts on the power output that it made. Just curious as to wether the power its making is consistant with mods thats its had done, or should it be making more??

It was dyno'd at 235rwkw on 17psi and 220 on 14psi.

Standard rebuild (12,000k's ago)

Nismo front pipes and 3 1/12 exhaust

Apexi pod filter kit

Apexi Safc

Bigger fuel pump

Cheers,

Obes

That is about on the money for a standard turbo GT-R. Please understand that results from dyno to dyno vary (yes even the shootout modes etc etc) more so than cars will vary.

The important thing is to make sure your A/F ratios are ok on full boost (ie less than 12.5:1 or thereabouts, depending on who you believe) & also that there is a complete absense of pinging from the engine (ie not too much ignition advance).

A healthy engine is more important than an extra ten horsepower, so be carefull in pushing stock turbos too hard. In any case there are better ways of judging your RB26's health than a power figure.

For what it is worth my R32 spat out 305hp at 13.4psi. So yours is on the money.

Have fun & drive carefully. :P

Hey guys,

I've had my R32 GTR for a while and I'm getting it dyno tuned within the next few weeks with similar mods so I should expect a similar figure (maybe more seeing as I have an aftermarket intercooler and ECU). It also gives me an opportunity to find out if there are anymore mods in my car. I'll let you guys know once I get the results.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
