Hi Everyone,

I am in the process of buying a R33 S1 or S2 and I am told different power figures that a stock R33 would have. I know that they have 187Kw at the fly and supposedly they lose 18% through the drivetrain which means they should be making 153rwKW.

Then again, some say they have about 120-130rwKW.

If anyone could shed some light on this matter it would be most appreciated as I do not want to buy a lemon....lol

Thanks Heaps.

I think the losses run closer to 30% so 120-130 rwkw sounds about right.

Thanks alot, B0oStEr, for the info.

Other, views or personal testemonies (ie. dyno results) will be very helpfull and most appreciated.

I think our first result was 148kw with with aftermarket panel filter and 3 inch exhaust.

The 120-130 ish does seem about it standard.

What type of exhaust and was it a full/cat-back? On what, if any, boost and what type of boost contoller?

thanks heaps.

Nabil,

Now you have jogged the memory a bit (getting old you see).

The exhaust was custom from dump pipe back and I think we had the bleed valve then at about 10 pounds.

*edit* No exhaust as posted below

OK. I have been corrected by my Wife.

When we got 148kw it was with the stock exhaust.

We did have the panel filter and more boost.

It was on a dyno day using shootout mode on a dyno dynamics.

Gday Paul, yes it is amazing what they do remember.

My Wife is the oricle of all things memory, especially to do with our Skyline, in this household.

The good thing is she does know "shit from clay" as they say.

I'll see you Sunday. Unfortunately Genelle won't make it this year.

Enjoy!

ps. Increasing boost does increase power for sure but you can go too far and easily get into the "rich and retard zone" with the stock ECU.

Have done this before. And last time on a dyno the guy turned the boost down from 14 to 10 and got rid of an ugly dip in power where the ECU was having kittens.

Will have to get an aftermarket ECU very soon. (not before drag day unfortunately)

I thought that the Japanese giants all agreed to limit at 140kw? that is why it is soo easy to get more outa these beasties they're just detuned (small air in small exhaust out) to a limit to meet certain standards.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
