3rd. The Dyno operator did the run in 3rd for a reason unknown to me...

I mean I'm not overly experienced with dyno's as we don't use them but I was under the impression dyno runs were meant to be performed in a 1:1 gear ratio... hence 5th in an R34 GTR

i was hoping to see some good lookin girls when i walked into autosalon but the first thing i saw was tosh's head! hahahahahaa. j/k - was good to bump into ya mate!

i liked it. few new things i've never seen before ie. lan games, 3on3 bball, beach volleyball etc. was good.

calibre of cars were good also. nice to see some hyper honda's there with k20 and b18 engine conversions.

bel garage was impressive ....... evo 9 circuit battle car is awesome - well done guys.

lots of bnr34's around which is what i like to see - is it me or are they everywhere now? :) was crossing the road going home the other night and a nice white one, lowered, stock looking went straight by me - crazy.

eh? it was a public show wasn't it? jeebuz.

Funny enough it was exactly as NISMO quoted in their specs on the car, 500ps, what we expected.

What you need to remember is the Z-tune was not built for an outright power figure & still meets all emissions requirements.

We only put it on the dyno at the owners request to get a before & after reading.

The torque figure was what we were interested in & that was pretty impressive.

There were some very high power figures produced throughout the day, congrats to the owners.

Was great to see everybody that came to say hello & thanks to everyone for their help at the end of the day.

Couldn't have done it without you.

My head is still thumping BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.

Cheers

321awkw, 430.5awhp, 1068.1Nm

damn that is nice. 320awkw is a very good figure. possibly even a little bit over the 500ps quoted. :dry: nice shaped curve too.

as for the run being in 3rd. the goal is to get as close to a 1:1 ratio as possible (which in a 34 is 5th gear). BUT most dynos in aus are rated only to 200kp/h so the primary concern is picking a gear that will not exceed 200kp/h, secondary concern is picking a gear at 1:1 ratio. The operator may not have been familiar with the 34 gearbox or diff ratios and probably didn't want to have to abort a run due to poor gear choice. I dont know whether or not it makes much (any?) difference. it's no big deal anyway.

nice to see you guys had the car there anyway. :)

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
