Hey there, finally got around to getting my little R32 Gts-t dynoed today but was a bit disappointed with the result. Here's whats done to it

Intercooler

Blitz Electronic DBC

Apexi Airpod

3" Turbo back Exhaust

High flow cat

Stock ECU

98Octane fuel

Was running 14 PSI on the EBC but according to the dyno the maximum it reached was 11. The guy seemed to think that the stock ECU might be preventing it from boosting any higher but i thought you guys might know if that were true or not, or whether I should be looking at something else. He also said the boost could possibly be leaking somewhere.

Anyway here's the dyno graph, sorry about the quality it was taken with a webcam. Max RWKW is 121.4, but I was expecting 140+ Is there any indication on the graph of something terribly wrong?

Whats with the dip at about 100k's? Big missfire?

If the dyno is saying you are running 11psi then i reckon your gauge is probably reading a bit high, My blitz dsbc reads very high.

Everything else looks good. Swap your plugs for a set of bcpr6es, wind in a bit more boost, set your base timing to about 16btdc and try it again.

In the meantime, do a compression test (while you are swapping the plugs).

Your current setup is good for about 160rwkw on 13-14psi if your engine is healthy.

doesn't seem right... I just had mine dyno'd and I got 138.8kw with a pretty stock car.. only have a FMIC , pod and 3inch exhaust, its running at 12psi. It originally ran 120kw.. on first run... second run pulled a higher figure..

I'd say the timing is out a little bit, thats where you would expect to gain power. 2 or 3 degrees out will mean big power losses

Looks like a bit of a miss at ~100, maybe swap or gap down your plugs

Other than that, as always, dyno's are best used for before and after, to see gains/losses

Should have dyno'd it before doing all your mods

What sort of condition is your clutch in? Not slipping is it?

Brand new Extreme heavy duty clutch, old one shit itself not long after it was imported. Just found out my boost controller is in % not PSI... so i've been running 14% which explains the difference in boost between it and the dyno. I still think 120 is low for 11PSI though.

So i might try changing the sparkplugs, winding up the boost a bit more etc. What's involved in changing the timing and a compression test? Any idea of a rough price?

Shootout mode will give you a result that 'should' be comparable to other dyno runs in shootout mode

Wouldnt waste your time with a comp. test, as long as its not blowing smoke

Timing is adjusted via the crank angle sensor, on the exhaust side of your engine (if looking at it front on)

The Crank angle sensor that round thing with 3 screws holding it to your timing belt cover

This needs to be adjusted with a timing light

To put a new set of plugs in and adjust the timing shouldn't cost more than $100, the plugs you can DIY if you are hand with a spanner

I think it was done in shootout mode, it's hard to read 'cause of my shoddy camera work but down the bottom it says "Results plotted using dyno dynamics shootout mode"

Thanks for the advice guys, i will get some new plugs into her and look into getting the timing altered. will report back with any news.

It's not blowing any smoke.

If you've got the plugs out, do a comp test. It's worth the time to do it and you will know that your engine is relatively healthy. Checking the health of your engine is never a waste of time.

new copper plugs will cost under 30 bucks. Get the timing checked on the dyno and adjusted at the same time if it's out, if it costs an extra 20 bucks over a regular power run i'd be surprised. Same for playing with the boost.

Hey I was just playing around with it then, trying to dial in 13-14PSI on my boost controller and checking it with both my boost gauge and the boost controllers boost metre, and it's now getting up about 13PSI, but is not holding it. Even tho i'm still revving higher the boost starts to drop (it dropped to about 8PSI before I stopped revving)

Does this indicate a boost leak or something else?

my r32 peaks at 12psi, but drops to 9psi by the time i get to 5000rpm. i was told theres a restriction in my intake path (most likely intercooler) but now that ive got a fmic, it still does it. i dont know what the problem is. but youre not alone! :P

although, my car made 145kw with cat back, pod and standard intercooler, so in my opinion something sounds a bit out for your car :P

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
