I went to the 'Dyno B' and got my car

dyno'd. Except i only got about 163rwkw 'Dyno B', unlike 193rwkw which i got at 'Dyno A'.

The guys at 'Dyno B' said that peak power dropped off at about 5000rpm, when it actually

should still be increasing. The only thing i have changed since the first dyno was, i installed a S/S

inlet pipe between AFM & turbo.

The power curve was fine at 'Dyno A'. Have you ever come across this before?

Both dyno runs showed good AFR's.

What would be the more appropriate power output figure for my current mods.

Mods:-

1993 R32 Skyline

RB20DET

Stock internals

5-speed manual

R33 S1 turbo

Trust front mount intercooler

Full exhaust (Split 3' dump/front pipe)

GTR fuel pump

Boost controller running at 14psi

Re-mapped ECU

Air pod

S/S inlet pipe

163rwkw sounds realistic

lots of things can affect the readouts, post both dyno sheets

one could have air temp correction, the other might not

one could be in a different gear or different ramp rate etc

Dynos can be calibrated differently therefore showing that some cars have less powerful then they do on a different dyno. The stainless steel intake pipe shouldn't have made any difference as the only problem i've heard of is with the stock plastic one contracting under suction and limiting air flow so if anything the s/s one should be better. my suggestion would be to go back to dyno A and get a re-run on that

most Rb20's with the 25 turbos make any where from 160 to 180 ish rwkw, even more if they are pushed to 14 psi. but for the sake of it we'll assume 12 or so psi.

dont be too fussed about different dyno reads out tho, does the car feel any different on road compared to both dynos?

maybe the stainless inlet pipe has made your car slower/less powerful? I mean if that's the only thing you've changed and your power has gone down... how does it feel to you?

Power feels about the same after the S/S inlet mod.

Theres a lot more turbo sucking sound, thats about it.

The ambient temps clearly show the 2 runs weren't done on the same day, probably not even the same month! Is it any wonder then that you encountered differences. Although I would expect the colder day to produce better power.

Are both dynos the same model? Same manufacturer?

They say that each 3 degree increase in intake air temp makes a 1% reduction in power.

So for a 20 degree (at least) increase in temp thats probably 8% power just there, compounded by the hotter air going through the intercooler...

So more like 10-15% power drop from increased temp and your getting to be in the same ballpark kW reading.

im going with the 160 mark because near on 200kw? on 14psi with a tiny 2lt engine?? hahah no chance... not with a standard r33 turbo.. ive driven one of those b4 and damn they are torqueless and slow :rofl: sorry dude but theres no chance urs makin near on 200rwkw

    • Oh bugger ! Your right ! Good old hydrogen sulfide. Takes me back to the good old school days ! 
    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless   
    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1
