Today at bel i got a power fc install and tune, only mods are k&n panel and bov.

I got 153rwkw and 435Nm torque (r34 gtt), does this seem a bit low for the power output?

ive heard of ppl getting 170's with just power fc but ive been told it depends on the type of dyno and run?

one of the bel guys told me hes seen cars get 180+ and only 140+ kw on thier dyno, so how does that work? :D

im no car expert.. but it sounds like there might be one of ya problems..

If you got like a 3" turboback exhaust it could add about 20kw or so..

153 + 20 = 173.. seems like a better result :)

im also no dyno expert either :D but ya tuning people were probably just giving you some story to make ya happy with the result....

also when you do get the exhaust they will have to retune the PFC again.

Morgs is correct, differnt dyno's read differntly and dynolog dyno do read lower than others, but whos to say that the dynolog dyno is incorrect, could it be that the dynodynamics dyno is measuring way to high?....all i can say is continue to use the same dyno every time so you can see the difference in mods regardless of what the total Hp is in relation to others

153 with a stock exhaust is as much as you can expect.

first person ive heard also thats done a PFC before exhaust

I did DFA, SITC and IEBC before the exhaust on the Stagea, does that count?

33% power increase with zero mechanical mods.

:blink: cheers :)

my mechanic uses dynolog and with a power fc, 13psi, exhaust, pod, fmic i got 170rwkw which i know most guys are usually a tad over the 200rwkw on a normal dyno dynamics in shoot out mode, also my mechanic agreed with me that his reads alot lower and mainly uses it as a tuning tool not really to see how hi figures he can get,

then again ive heard of some dyno dynamics figures that are rediculously high, like 1 guy claiming to have 215rwkw on 10psi, fmic, power fc, exhaust and pod, i just cant see that happenin

yer stick to the same dyno for more consistent records

thanks for all the feedback.

i got pfc before exhaust coz i was running very rich and getting bad fuel economy, was worried i might have a problem but tune fixed everything :) ; also once i get exhaust etc its a hourly rate for dyno tune, so no $500 fee everytime i want a tune :P

i didnt get a dyno run before pfc install, only before pfc tune amd i went from 138rwkw to 153rwkw and from 210Nm min 420Nm max torque to 302 Nm min 435Nm max.

Does it really matter unless you are a dyno queen?. Dyno shymo.When i last looked,a dyno is a tuning tool.If you go to the same dyno with the same(honest) tuner and correction factors are correct and there is no "X" factor input,who cares.Provided it reads consistently,it is a excellent tuning tool.However a whole industry has been built around the "my dad is tougher than yours and my shitter made more Kilowatts than yours".Hey book it in,lean it out,bang some timing in and look at the top end power increase (and overlay it over original power run graph).and they cant get the cash out fast enough.

Ok. Can anyone out there shed some light on this dyno sheet.

Looking at the IT and AT is it fair to assume the numbers are a bit higher then what the thing would make on an engine dyno?

I tend to think, they have done a few runs at different boost levels, and the inlet temos could be getting up there.

i made 35 rwkw's changing my exhaust

i believe my second exhaust (blitz jobby) was probably as restrictive, if not more than the stocko unit

when i ditched it for a 3" straight through exhaust (and retune, which wasnt cheap) power reading was much better

The intake temp probe just sits next to the air filter, so assuming it was a bonnet up run i wouldn't expect more than about 10 degrees different even with an unenclosed pod no matter the time on the dyno.

However, if the bonnet was down it is probably a legitimate power figure for an unenclosed pod.

    • Thanks! Supercheap has a sale on this weekend so might be a good opportunity to get a new one. I do have a decent multimeter so I'll give it a try either way.   Hah, you got me! I do not. All I know is that the battery holds charge and sits at an okay level before I start the car. Doing the full charge and rejuvenation cycle on a trickle-charger seems to not really make a difference to the cold start behaviour. I'll try and measure it during cranking and see what it does. It's likely terrible; it certainly feels terrible.  I'll be happy if it is really just the battery and I don't have to dick around with the alternator or starter motor.
    • how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather. 
    • Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.
    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
