Kym,

As I keep telling you, you need to get it on a dyno, to see what is wrong, we are currently guessing what the problem is, we need to monitor alot of factors to tell you what to do. Yes those two things may help, but then again it could be related to something else.

See'ya:burnout:

Standard bovs LEAK thats why we put after market ones on

Unless your gay then you just put one on that gos choooooooooooooooooo

Strich9 buddy! Dont stress about your Air fuel ratios man, I have to wash the back of my white line every 2nd day and shan gets watery eyes after a few mins of driving behind me, thats if i havent burnt his bonnet by then :D

Rev i got 250RWHP @ Myaree on 10psi pod and cat back, EBC lol

My last dyno at SSTs seemed very harsh i only got 286hp @ 16psi but partly due to turbo and timing issues

Steve... I kinda asked this when I was there last night but didnt get a chance to find out properly.... Are you able to tune my AVC-R on the dyno down there at SST??? I will need someone to do this after I have run my new clutch in ( Say in about a week or two's time )

Thanks

Little $$'s??? I've spent more money than most people who have done their fmic, I did buy a trust unit remember. The whole idea of the trust cooler was to improve intake temps in order to reduce pinging (and I can run 12-13psi all day everyday even in 30 degree heat) without the car pinging. Once I get this AF ratio sorted then I can start mucking around with the timing, like rev210 is.

Just to clear things up. Speedworks dont actually have a Dyno. The dyno belongs to Automotive Power Analysis and resides at JRT in Bentley.

As for Rob's figure? We were all scratching our heads on that one during the dyno day! It was a freak run which seemed a little out considering the other 30 cars done during the day produced their expected hp figures. Including mine.

I dont think the dyno is "high reading" as such. Perhaps a setting was incorrect, we did noticed that it being a hub dyno it was extremely sensitive to diff ratio settings and could calculate way out of whack if it was even slightly out.

Oh well, like VSpec says... just as long as you use the same dyno for your benchmarking, you cant go wrong :D

Red17

Its 273ps not hp. its about 270hp. We're not sure why the dyno read that figure, it was a crazy figure considering what was done to the car at the time. A supra also pulled an odd figure too and everyone else on the day seemed to pull normal figures. I'll be going down the drags sometime soonish and hope to be around the mid 13's.

giz01, the power is not as important as how it generates the power, now with the boost and FMIC I think rob should easily get a 13. Some cars with more power are getting slower times due to wheelspin and lag etc, so power is not always directly correlated to fast 1/4mile times.

"Dyno proven" is a bad mix of words. Dyno tuned or Dynotested

maybe. In the new issue of Perth street car there is a good

example, A Falcon "Dyno proven 502rwhp" STD internals?

and runs in the 12s on slicks mmmmm sounds suss hay.

On Tuesday I had a BIG Valiant 6Cyl non turbo or NOS

make 305rwhp with spectators here saying i tricked

the Dyno and was bull shitting them.

Last nite it ran 11.5@ 114mph full bodyed and 1400kgs

and a XB falcon road car on slicks 293rwhp 12.2sec.

The 1/4 mile should be used to see if your shop is fudging

power figs. "Dynos can lie"

"TRACK PROVEN" is the only true way of proven.

I agree steve.

After all the dyno is just part of the tuning process to get the cars real perfomance when doing the thing you love to do the most... racing!

I have found some tuners do the final dyno tune with the bonnet 'up'. This goes for power runs as well. Although there is certainly reasons of keeping the engine 'cool' for long periods of tune, the final tweaks and power run ought to be done with the lid down I reckon. At least I have asked this in the past- with some strange looks given but, I feel a better tune results.

I could be wrong but, the car doesnt get driven around with the bonnet up.

    • I should. But it already uses too much fuel for a daily. You might note my recco for engine chnages are almost exclusively to people who have it as a weekender/summer car. I don't even have room to keep the spares for this one, let alone another car.
    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
