you cant go by size of the exhaust when talking about the Jap brands and relative noise.. also other considerations such as mild steel or stainless, mandrel bent or press bent - they all add up to the noise factor. Not to mention the engine, dump pipe and overall setup the exhaust is being mated to !! I have the HKS Super Dragger II exhaust - which is one of the largest tips/mufflers you will find (5 inch), however the noise is considerably less than other similar setups.. If you are looking at a Jap exhaust and dont want noise, consider ones with dual mufflers... Check this out.. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ht=dual+muffler

yep - shorter shift is suppost to put increased load on the gearbox and syncros (spelling ?) But this is a generic statement - it really depends on how well (or bad !) you treat the gearbox, the condition of the box, regular servicing and (as 2rismo said) how good a lube you wanna use (mechanically speaking !!)

comparatively, how does the GTR pump measure up to the Bosch 044 and 910 ??

Id also be intersted in the guy you got the clutch form.. PM sent...

Hey robo... An ex-LS1'er myself, i congradulate you on the time... I know the engines in question are worlds apart in how they acheive their goal, and you have done well on your setup... Im hoping to be there soon also with the stock turbo, although im aiming for 12 psi - just gotta get the funds to finish the project !! Cheers, Matt

stock ecu, stock boost... Knore - i wasnt claiming the dyno figure as i know this is way too high - rather the difference between the two readings... Based on the AFR's they mustve got confused with either another car reading, or its some kind of mistake.. ill be getting a real boost gauge done soon - ill also get another dyno run and check out the AFR's and see if there is any difference.. otherwise, ive just wasted my cash on a powerfc !! :jk:

im pretty sure it is - however, you have me doubting now SydneyKid.. Ill check tomorrow, as luck would have it its going in for a service at Just Jap....

yea i know - not bad for a stock 93 ECU, huh ??.....

Thanks Ben - glad you like it.. :nowigetit

anyone, anyone- Bueller, Bueller....

i think the red lines up with the red, and the blue lines up with the blue...you can tell by using the grid... However, you are right in that the blue doesnt line up with the red... As you can also tell, its the stock ECU with speed limiter - cant wait to get that powerfc in to that fix low and mid range 12.5 13 AFR !!

ok guys - as promised here is the dyno... the red is my previous run without the intercooler (done a month ago, 08:30 in the morning) the blue is my run with the intercooler installed... (done last week, 04:30 in the arvo)

Hey Guys - thanks for the interesting posts..... Hi Sciby - im sure the dyno is reading high - im more interested in the RWKW difference (which is about 40RWKW) than the actual figure. im using this diagnosis as a tuning tool, nothing more - as i wish to get this beast out on the 1/4 mile to prove its worth.. Generally - no cam gears (yet - soon, though) - and running stock boost (7psi) and stock turbo Hi Knore - hard to say in regards to SOTP feel. Im sure it feels better, but its hard to say 40RWKW better. Im sure this mod would pickup boost increase by default (due to less restriction), however this should be about .5-1 psi i wouldve thought... Hey SydneyKid - stock boost is as it states - i havent touched the turbo or boost in any way, shape or form on this car. The boost is measured on the stock gauge for the moment (bad, i know) - and this is based on the fact that at 5k RPM the boost gauge is not going much past 3.0...this tells me that as inaccurate as the gauge is, the car is not running over 10psi (being generous)...ill try and scan the dyno sheet... Hey Nathan....it was a dyno dynamics dyno, in shootout mode - same settings for both runs.. Cheers, Matt

Hi Guys.. I got my front mount intercooler installed last week, and i am a bit dubious about the dyno reading - in that its too high.. I have had two dyno readings - both done with the same settings on the same dyno in the same place - all in shootout mode.....please keep in mind these dyno runs are done just so i know where i stand with the car - im not after dyno output figures only tuning, as this car's objective is the 1/4 mile... 1st dyno run: 166RWKW (HKS super-dragger exhaust, front dump pipe, HKS air pod) - This is about what i expected, which is fine.. Installed GTR front mount intercooler - 120 bend from plenum, 2.5 aluminium pipes all round, cut front bar, plumb back BOV (turbosmart) 2nd Dyno Run: 196RWKW/199RWKW/203RWKW - wtf ?? On the sheet, the first run (done about a month ago) was overlayed, and the difference is all mid range/top end. Additionally, the a/f ratio leaned out a tad, which is also what i expected.. However, i wouldnt expect more than about 10RWKW with this mod, due to the decreased resistence in boost. Boost is stock, as is the turbo - i was paranoid and all the way home checked the boost gauge (stock) to see if something was amiss to count for the extra power - didnt go over 3.5.. (7psi...ish) The car as since done about 200kms, so im pretty sure everything that has to be connected is. The feel is that the car is most improved top end about 5,000rpm... Im after any plausible explanations for this - i dont care about the figures, moreso the huge jump. Thanks, Matt

Yep - good to make the unofficial committe meeting.. We should make it a once every few months thing...

Since i have this thread bookmarked (i may have to review this situation )...... And also since i wasted 2 mins of my life reading this dribble that i wont get back.... Ill keep in the tone of this thread.. I spotted a Chris today, as me and Chris were talking to Chris - i waved at Chris but Chris didnt wave back.. :jk:

ok - ill be the guy who rocks up in a cab... (all the way form Talavera rd.. )

im still in... going to reserve a table ?? that way we can tell people the number and so on...

Wow - ive already RSVP'd !!! That segetary that works for Carlo is very good !! We need every local skyline bod to turn up - we must unite in our common struggle !! (...to consume copious amounts of bourbon !!) P.S - Carlo, there are many other places for alcohol around Nth Ryde.....Infernos, Platinum Bar, Maq Uni Bar, etc.etc........umm...er....so ive heard...

sounds good...

you have PM about the pulley kit...

Thanks SK...

Hey Maxx.. As per my previous post, does the price include postage ??
