In the interest of science, I'll keep going to the drag strip. Then the intercooler people can do likewise (as they already have anyway) and we can see who has the quicker time. That sounds pretty easy I reckon. I have 'hosed' quite a number of the fmic brigade on the street to back up my time (on private roads), so it's not just a drag strip phenomina.

He he he, that's true - people should go to the strip :mad:

What I'm trying to take out is driver skill. Drag racing on the strip does take a fair bit of driver skill, so if we can take out that we can have a true comparison between cars.

Anyone can mash the go peddal at 70 and hold it flat to 140. But getting someone (Mr Joe Bloggs) to launch good is another thing.

I am taking 200+rwkw to be about 310HP at the flywheel. I dont think the stock turbo can move this much air at 1bar. At least why would you go a 2530 for a power increase when they are rated at about 310/20 HP?

Well, the fact is it can. As has been proven many many times over

I should add the beatings occur on 'standing' and 'rolling' runs with said other skyines with stock turbos and fmic's.

My advice if you have a fmic and a stock turbo is : run 1.5bar through the stockie and have some (brief) fun, then replace it with a turbo that is propperly matched to the horsepower flow of the intercooler. It's just like porting the heads, port to big for a little cam and carby and things don't work all that well in the response department.

I'd say there are lots of people running fmic designed to flow over 450HP! that is not a huge intercooler BTW, but boy is there a difference between 300HP and 450HP in air flow. For a front mount to work well, and I think they possibly can on a stock turbo, you need one that juuust flows well enough to 300HP or maybe a snick under.

BYBY,

show me an 'engine' dyno of the stock (unmodified) turbo making 310HP and I'll give you the points.

310HP or so in an R33 is mid 12 1/4mile, I don't think so. Unless you can show me a 12.5 sec stock turbo'd R33, don't care if its got slicks or runs on rocket fuel BTW. Once again I'll give you the points if you can.

Rev - Please, don't get me wrong. Your car is a quick car, I don't dought that for a second.

What I'm trying to do is get a good (as equal as possible) comparison. Take out the variable of driver skill and make it based on car performance only.

I'm willing to wind down my boost to 10psi and do a few runs with a mate with a video camera in the car (on a track :mad: ).

I'm not trying to say mine is faster than yours, and going by the times you have, I have no dought that yours is quicker, but I'm just interested in the comparisons on the above test.

Like I said, just for interests sake.

Why must you sway off the topic here. We are not discussing quarter mile times, obviously if you want to head down that road there are several other variables you must consider not jus tthe cars power. Power does not equal quarter mile time.

200rwkw is by no means whatsoever an unreachable figure. Plenty of people on here are hovering around the 200rwkw mark with the suggested modifications. If you want dyno sheets find them yourself. A number of the more reputable workshops in Sydney all give the same advice and confirm that the power level is possible although at 200rwkw or anything over your turbo is coming to its limit.

Perhaps you know more than Sydneys best tuners and performance shops.

Perhaps NOT

A interesting discussion here. I believe both sides of the argument have raised valid points. On the dyno, we have seen 2rismo’s car push out over 190rwkw on 11psi which is around 240kw (320 hp) at the crank. But the trouble is the turbo might go bang tomorrow or in 2 years time. You just don’t know with the ceramic turbines.

Rev - no one here discounts your achievements with the set up you got. Probably the best bang for buck skyline in the land. I honestly don’t know how your car achieves the terminal velocity it does on the modifications you have carried out. At first I thought you had a 50hp shot of nitrous lurking somewhere but other then that I wouldn’t believe what you are getting without the time slip. Well done :mad:

All I am suggesting is that the stock turbo can not flow 320HP worth of air on the skyline motor as is. This is a real 320HP at the motor. That is quite alot of power in my books. I'd just like people to understand that the rear wheel dyno is for 'tuning' and is not a cross-comparable power/accelleration evaluator to bench mark every skyline on. However as I said before I am fine with being wrong on this one.

The dyno is a 'bragging' tool for sure... just doesn't mean much when you get your ass handed to you by someone who has 'less rear wheel horsepower' in the same weight car.

Good you have 200rwkw! Care factor for me... 0%

Wow you gained 30rwkw, though a mod on the same dyno & day! Care factor...80%

It's all relative so lets just race!:):D :D

Why wouldn't 320hp be achieveable at 12psi+ when standard they produce 250hp at around 7psi. A stock R33 makes roughly 130rwkw, if you mod it to 190rwkw thats a gain of 60kw or 80hp, now 250+80=330hp!

Another factor to consider with FMIC is that they will probably have a richer A/F ratio than with the stock IC due to the denser air, so without a SAFC or computer change then no they probably won't be better, but they DO NOT cause lag unless it's a poorly built one with huge pipes that have nasty right angle bends, then maybe.

While were on the discrepency's of Dyno's what about the accuracy of Drag strips, how do we know that your 13.4 104mph is correct? I've seen plenty of mid 13 sec passes and rarely do the mph go higher than 100-101, is there an altitude advantage in Perth compared to Melb or Sydney?

But I guess you should be commended in your different approach to speed, afterall the quicker your engine can reach redline the faster you will go, so maybe we should all experiment with lighter pulleys etc... a higher than 4.11 diff ratio could also lower 1/4 times but I doubt many would want to do that.

turbomad,

agree with you on the lag, I think you miss the point I am making (my fault , I don't state things clearly very often). The turbo will still produce boost at such and such rpm. How long does it take to get to that rpm, well thats where extra pipe work don't do you favours.

Drag strips are fairly accurate mate, after all it is a bona-fide sport . Unlike dyno printouts, where there are no officials and not a great deal of specators. Then again with the interest 'import' drivers have on dyno results perhaps we could make a sport out of it too.

The mph thing is like this ; gearing and traction can make the requirements for a higher mph less significant, try a 360ci V8 charger doing 13flat with a 100mph terminal. Or a 98mph 13.4 with a GTiR (4wd). Mph is significant when looking at a standardised gearing set and tyre setup, like a stock skyline ( diff and gearbox) running road tyres.

Well Mz Merli and Mz Donnon, I think you should both sit in seperate corners and don a DUNCE hat each of you!........ See, I equate fighting over the internet the same as the 100m sprint at paralympics..... Sure one of you might win..... but at the end of the day your both still very very handicapped.......

That'd be funny if I hadn't heard/read it a 100 times already :P

just my 2c..

shouldn't dyno reading be taken before and after mods?

eg Martin dyno's reading for his r34 was ~148rwkw stock then after mods, ~200rwkw?

Whereas my r33 gtst stock figure is around ~130rwkw, after mods, ~173rwkw.

alright feel free to take me down.. :P

You are right. the figures don't mean much except the relative change in power. The outright figure I couldn't care much about, but the magnitude of the change is always worth a look.

The mods in both cases yielded an increase in power, thats good. However people ought not to get hung up on expecting the same power output, or power increase for the same mods on a different dyno on a different day.

    • Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
    • I am being real ocd and do not want to make amy mistakes so appreciate all help provided. I am overly cautious so asking for opinion even if i know the answer   few questions,   1.re tensioner, should spring be greased lightly?    2.tensioner has two washers , one pressure washer and other has recessed/ seat. I am going to put the recessed one facing tensioner where edges are cut out and pressure washer on top   3. my car has custom triger kit sold few years ago by guy who initially built the engine. I moved the crank gear and it moved in and out easy, only way to remove belt is to slide the crankshaft gear forward which I did. I have seen these being very tough to move , anything to do with my woodruff key?   it has a crank sensor shown in purple which I assume reads from the 12 teeth position mounted to the crankcase gear   4. timing belt doesn’t have arrow stating front or back just a arrow which I think is direction of rotation . Do you agree?   5.i figured out why my crankcase cover was worn as there was no washer installed over the crankcase cover before the harmonic balancer was put in place. It is missing, anyone knows the part number? It looks like this https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-crankshaft-timing-gear-rear-plate-washer-nissan-s13-ca18-a31-r32-rb20-r33-r34-c33-c34-c35-rb25?currency=USD   https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4535.382Zy2 https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4537.382dSz https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4534.382q4U  
    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
