Hi everyone,

I recently took a mate to Dr Drift's workshop in Brooklyn to pick up his car from tuning. Whilst there was tempted to put my car on the dyno to see what effect, if any, my recent mods had (refer this thread).

Run was done in 4th gear.

post-710-1141817963.jpg

The last time I had my car on the dyno (Vic N/A dyno day back in November 2003 :)) it made 81rwkw in 4th gear. At the time I was disappointed with this, however I believe the dyno was set rather conservatively as all RB25DE's dynoed that day read around this range (mine was actually the highest on the day :().

So I would NOT say that my recent mods added 25rwkw, but they definitely gave some improvment.

For those who don't know the details of my engine, they are as follows:

- 7/1995 RB25DE seriesII engine

- Apexi power intake pod filter

- UAS cold air box with cold air feed

- Coby extractors, heat wrapped

- HKS 2.5" exhaust system cat back

- Advanced timing (Dr drift/Sam said it was advanced from stock, don't know exact figure)

Because my engine is running too lean throughout the rev range, there is still more power to be gained, perhaps with a SAFC. I'm going to try cleaning my AFM first. btw don't use carby cleaner for this as it eats the finish on the sensor (to paraphrase Sam). CO (contact) cleaner is the stuff to use, available from Jaycar.

Regards

Greg

Thats a shit dyno, a 25de should pull a lot more than that, go elsewhere mate, both dynos u have been on are shit

thanks for your positive input :D

to me this result seems relatively consistent with other forums user's results. i suppose no dyno is ever "accurate"... you are always making compensations.

how much do you reckon a rb25de should pull?

i'd say that the dyno is reading a bit low'ish - but mine could be high :D

cleaning the afm sounds like a good idea, ur afr's are a bit funny (safc shud be sweet too)

wierd dip over @ 130-140km/hr ???

getting a torque curve wud have been good (coz who cares abt max power :kiss:), as well as running the power curve against RPM instead of speed.

to give you an idea mine made 108.4rwkw (dynodynamics) and only with a podfilter and CAI with a stock exhaust.

eug

the dyno is fine greg. ive had my r33 (the silver series 2 with busted zorst)

on there several times and the power is consistent with power ive made at other dyno runs. last time i made 194rwkw and my power runs have been consistent

hmm yeah every dyno seems to give a differnt reading.

that dip in power might be due to the VCT soliniod changing the cams?

your car doesnt seem to be running too lean. lean means more power and less wasted gas... but then im not 100% sure what the af ratio should be.

its good to see you got yours dynoed. hopfully mine will get dynoed on sat next week.

damn my old rb20e made its peak power at 5000rpm. lol

I think the only way for dyno readings to be comparable is to use the same dyno on the same day in the same gear. I guess the dyno i used was set conservatively.

Yeah the dip is a bit strange... hopefully cleaning the AFM sorts out the issues

The torque is low... last time I dynoed it was mid 500 nm. In reality it feels torquier than ever so it must just be a dyno setting again.

it makes its peak power at 5200rpm

Hey mate

My friend's black 180sx also has an exhaust leak, as you guessed. It is still the quickest car I've been in to date though >_< Have you had your leak fixed yet? if so did it make much difference?

Did you calculate the peak power rpm based on n/a ratios? On the way home I observed that 100 km/h is 3750rpm in 4th gear. Based on this: 3750 / 100 * 150 = 5625rpm?

Cheers

nah my leak isnt fixed yet, about two weeks and it will be done

the dyno isnt conservative. its just like all the other dyno's.

what figure were u expecting?

pick a km/h point divide by 28 then times by 1000 to get rpm

ignuz,

visit www.nismo.com.au for details and pricing on the box. it cost my $195 two years ago.

hang on

500nm of torque????? you can't be serious.

its not possible. xr6turbo's and big v8's make that

im sorry there is no way a n/a rb25de will make that much torque.

based on my previous run on the dyno i was expecting about 90rwkw.

hmm that formula isn't consistent with my observation. 100km/h / 28 * 1000 = 3571 rpm. i think that formula based on GTS25t ratios?

i didn't believe the 500nm either - i'll scan in the dyno graph and show you though FYI.

Ignore torque figures unless its back to back on the same dyno in the same gear with the same ratios.

The torque line I've found is good when playing with ignition timing, it shows eactly the affect dialing a little more in our out has, much easier than reading the power curve.

The AFR's are tuned nice, suits N/A. :)

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
