What Can I Expect From A Dyno

[Kushil Abeysinghe]

Hi guys,

got my R33 GTST 96, about 3 weeks back, absolutly stock standard..... i have fixed a air pod and blow off valve and in the process of fitting a Turbo timer. also put some preety decent tyres....on it as well.

Now i want to know is dyno tunning going to be of much help for me......or is there a diference when it comes to having JAP settings......also should mension i am not looking for big hosepower.....how ever i do want some torque though out the REV's.

Is dyno tunning going to help in this matter......and if it is, whats the best place in melbourne to do it ?

any help welcome.......guys

there is no tuning to be done on the stock ecu. all you can do is dyno run it to make sure its all safe and nothing is horribly unsafe. expect around 140rwkw for a stock gtst. many many workshops in melbourne can do this for you, check out the vic sticky thread for workshops;

I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but ditch the blow-off valve (unless it is a plumb back) and make sure that the pod has a "cold air partition" around it.

An atmo venting BOV on a 33 with a stock computer is just going to make it run rich as cr@p every time it goes PSSSSSHHH.

An unshielded pod will be sucking hot air and you will make less power than running a K&N panel in the stock airbox.

There is some good info to be had on this site, but there is some bad, even dangerous mis-info too.

As a rough rule, if Sydneykid wrote it... it's good.

One of the cheapest mods with the best return for a 33 is to bypass the boost solenoid so the car runs 10psi all the time rather than at +5000rpm. You won't believe the difference this free mod will make to your car.

Just get a small length of pipe and pull the two hoses off the solenoid valve behind the air filter and join them together. too easy.

Enjoy your car and welcome to SAU

I get about 420 plus, with some minor mods with giving it some here and there.

Around 400km is the general consensus. There have been many many threads about this in the past and 400 seems to be the average.

my ones doing about 350 mark, guess its kind of OK.

all in start stop traffic 99% of the time.
