How much REAR WHEEL POWER does a stock R33 Have?

[Nabil]

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.

[Jago]

depends on the condition as well

Thanks alot, B0oStEr, for the info.

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

Can you please elaborate?

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.

does increasing the boost from stock to 12psi raise the rear wheel KW too??

[elbee111]

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)

there is a thread up the top with rb25's and the power they are making, mines at 218 rwkw on the stock turbo so there plenty of easy power to be gained

[Nabil]

Does anyone else know how much rwkw does a STOCK STANDARD R33 have? Other peoples views would be nice.

Thanks

The stock standard R33 is always 187rwks whatsoever its always 187 and thats factory everything.

[32vspecII]

approximately 130rwkw

age and condition of the engine and different dynos and enviromental factors all play a part

but somewhere around there

[bigcarl]

125 to 135 ish rwkws tops for 187 kw rb25 and 150 to 155 rwkws for 206kw neo rb25.

[R33S2]

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.

187kw is the power figure at the flywheel.
