Uncanny dyno results?

Hey all,

Came down for the dyno day, which was a rather good day if I say so myself and also put my car in on the dyno. This is the result I got on the dyno.

Now even though that was the lowest power figure out of the all the turbo cars :( , it seems too high for a stock RB20DET with catback exhaust and pod filter. Converted to kw it is 144rwkw which is about 5-10kw higher than what it should be. Now I don't know much about dyno results and after checking out the latest version of HPI, there RB20DET with the same mods as me plus a FMIC made only 145rwkw which is 1kw more than mine. How can that be?

One thing I noticed in difference between my dyno result and the HPI car is that there intake temperature was 19 degrees while mine was 45 degrees? Not sure how such a high difference in temperature could occur but could it have inflated my result to give an incorrect reading?

Can anyone clear this up for me and any comments from the hyperdrive guys would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Scott

Dynos differ depending on how they are set up.

The HPI one may not have been in shootout mode so I'd say those figures are close enough not to worry about.

Your 32 seems pretty healthy anyway which is always good to know.

The intake temps are interesting though. Was that taken at the inlet manifold or air inlet?

If you have a pod without a partition, the ambient temperature would increase the reading from the temp probe, and therefore change the reading. A higher intake temp gives a higher corrected figure.

If the temp probe is sitting against anything in the engine bay, you may get an over inflated intake temp - as the air coming into the pod is coming straight through the open bonnet.

By comparison, my intake temps were 26 degrees, but I am using a partition. The run was done within a couple of minutes of my car arriving from a long drive. Still somewhat interesting as the ambient air temp would have probably been closer to 12-14deg at the time.

This is a good example of the fact it is almost impossible to compare dyno figures 100% accurately. I am quite sure the air going into your car was not 20 degrees warmer than the air going into mine.

Dyno is for tuning - they give you a good idea of where AF ratios are at, how and where power is delivered and where there may be problems with the current setup. Peak power should be a guide only.

']dude mine made completely stock , bar an intercooler, 184.5 rwhp, so your power isnt bad at all

Not bad but how much of a gain would a catback and pod filter give? On top of that result? Because if it's a +15rwhp gain, we would still be be in the same problem again.

No not really, because then it would seem LOW not high for the mods you have.

End of they day a dyno is a tuning tool, next time you do a mod, re run it, and see what improvements you have made. Ken and Lumpy run a very professional show down there, so I doubt anything was done to make your numbers wrong

Im documenting every mod i do on antilag, so check the main site every once in a while to see what comes of it. Might give you some insight to what mods you could do yourself

my car only got 226rwhp with similar mods :)

Only difference is mines S1 and ive heard its alot more spikey when more boost is added, it dropped 40rwhp towards the top end in one spike. Im going for a apexi power fc when i can get the $$ together to fix

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.

      Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.

      Greg speaks wisdom. These dirty old Datsuns are only value when they are cheap. When they are not cheap, there is no value. Sounds contradictory, but it's true. We are now 20 years past the hey day of modifying cheap 90s JDM cars for small amounts of money. This is a different world. If you are rich and can afford not to care about what is effectively wasting money on an old Datto shitter, then I have no reason to argue against it. But if you are wanting to experience what we all experienced back in 2005 (and I bought my car last century!) then there is no way to do it.

      Short answer: No. Medium answer: No, because you still need to conjure the things out of thin air to bolt them to a NA to make it a NA+T. Long Answer: No - The things you need to conjure - meaning a turbo, intercooling, manifolds, exhaust, intake/manifold/piping, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, AFM (?), ECU + Wiring (woo, N/A loom fun) have to come from somewhere. You could have many scavenged these things from an OEM car that someone had upgraded from and use some of these. This will be cost prohibitive now, especially so in the USA. You'd probably pay the same for newer, upgraded components that are better than old OEM stuff from 25-30 years ago. None of these big ticket items are re-usable for the N/A car. Why not buy new and upgrade while you're there? The only real consideration is turbo and fuel sizing and determining whether you want to stay within the bounds of the OEM engine or get into rebuild territory. These limits ARE lower with a N/A motor and especially N/A gearbox at the starting point. And if you're gonna upgrade those then you may as well consider having them built to begin with. Because everyone here knows you're never far from that next engine rebuild once you start making the power you want... The cars you see on the internet and SAU etc have been built over decades. If you're really clued in... you would sell your US car to somebody for what you paid for it. You would then scour AU JDM pages or SAU and buy a car like Dose's on this forum with your powerful American Dollar. This will save you so much money in the long term. Importing it could be tricky. Or it might not because USA. I have long said the only reason 90's Japanese stuff took off was because a) Japanese people had Japanese cars so that is what they used b) Australians could import these cars to Australia with very minimal changes and use them on the road here c) Neither country had well-priced access to US or EU Sports Cars. I don't believe the JDM scene would have taken off in Australia at all if we had EU priced EU BMW M offerings, or more especially the AUS V8 Scene would never have existed if we had the multitude of US cars like Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes at the prices you folks do. After all - Do the math. I would say put a V8 in your R34 and that's the smart way forward. It is. I did it. I know this from my own experience. But at that point there's no reason to simply not buy a C5 or C6? It would be simpler and easier and cheaper and bette-

      Reading all this... hurts lol. I have an ENR34 5MT and I paid an inflated USA price for the car alone, had to do tons of preventative maintenance past that, and so I'm over $30K USD into the car already and haven't even touched power.  I wanted to +t it. Not even trying to make GTR numbers, I'd be happy with 250hp.  Can I get away with paying much less to make that happen?
