The thing that bothers me when looking at the dyno print out is that the power is already rolling off before the car even hits max boost. And it seems to take forever to hit it. It may be a whole different story on the street as the settings on the dyno may not load the car up like on the street.

Something else to consider is there is no shootout data on your printout and so (i assume) no correction. In most cases correction pushes the figure up. For example, an 8 degree difference in ambient and inlet temp will give a 3-4% increase in the figure shown on the printout. and thats only one correction.

wow.. 19psi for only 245rwkw..

Hows it feel to drive?

19psi and 245rwkwk.. :( Maybe the dyno is conservative?

The rb turbine is a .6 something, there's no listed specs but thats what they apparently measure up as, the VG30/R34 turbine housings are a .7 something.

Dynos are a good tuning tool only. Its hard to compare dynos and dynos

Examples.

1) Barometer readings and temp readings give corrections readings. All increase or decrease your rwkw. Put in a low barometer reading and your rwkw goes up. My dyno operator barometer was way out, like 980 on the barometer. My figures where always high, 207/215 rwkw (stock turbo) 220rwkw (2530. no PFC).

2

) Ran my car on dyno, only 225rwkw when i ran 12.55@113mph. Car was very very strong as backed up by 1/4 times. Ran a guy with a 244rwkw from a well known Skyline shop, and it wasnt even close on a rolling run. We had about 4 rolling runs and even if he jumped me i could still peg him back and pass.

3) Dynoed with 2535 last night and only pushed 231rwkw (same as dyno no.1 but with fixed barometer, the operator reckons its costed 20rwkw) but car feels stronger than ever.

So my point is, judge by going in with figure A and coming out with B, you should judge your figures by this and not by other dynos. Really the best judge of power is 1/4.

Yea, It was not run in shootout mode

Throw it on another well known dyno to see how it rates and what they think of the setup power/boost you are using.

Always good to grab a second opinion. :(

What EBC are you using? Its working damn well to hold 19psi.

PFC Boost control kit :(

GunMetalR33, when i had my GTRS turbo installed and producing the same power as you on 1.3bar (19spi) i realised after a it got a bit colder i got slight knock. only way i detected this is on my dial display. i dont have a hand controller but i could not hear anything so it was not pinging. would only happen at high rpm. the tuner reduced the boost, richened it up and took timing back few degrees and it made 230@the wheels on 1.2 bar and does not ping anymore. I was told that my exhaust manifold (factory) was too restrictive for the power/airflow. i have just added cams and plenum and new manifold so i will see how it goes back on 19psi now. Ill try repost next wednesday when they retune and let you know.

inlet temps are satisfactory?

to head for 300rwkw with the standard 25 housing would have to be asking for a bit?

it sounds a little like, when cubes had the RB20 turbo on the 3L, the tuner had to remove a heap of timing up top because of the back pressure to prevent detonation.

Unsure if you know.

I dropped the VG30DET turbo on with its .7 something turbine housing. Instantly I was able to run 20-21degree's right the way through, I hadn't tweaked just bumped it up a little, boost is the same.

Up from 15-16 degree's its quite a bit.

i dont have a hand controller but i could not hear anything so it was not pinging.

if the light was going off, it was most certainly.

its the ping/detonation that you dont hear thats the problem.

if you can hear it... it could well be too late

Sounds good,

What cost would I be looking at if I was to put the vg30 zaust housing on the back of my GT30?

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
