Re dyno'd my GTR yesterday, totally different power curve :)

Made top power about 6000rpm

166kw's in 4WD & 185kw's in RWD

Graph coming....

check last post

Hey people,

Had my R32 GTR on a Rwd dyno today, it made 176kw's. Not sure about the rpm level, but it made peak power at 101km/h. The only mods so far are a K & N panel filter and a TRUST 80mm cat back exhaust system. Apparently the boost restrictor has been taken off?? bcos it was running a solid 12-13 psi. Is this about right? Anyone roughly know what kinda power increase's a full exhaust system will make.. Any suggestions on next mods.

cheers

Jono

I think you're mixing up the torque and power lines Dundan.

Power is the red one, and rises gradually to ~175kw and stays there until redline.

Torque is all over the place. Weirdest torque curve I've ever seen. What's with the dip at the start?!?

In fact the flat power curve is very very weird too...

That's one weird-ass dyno reading right there. Stick with Dyno Dynamics :)

/me writes down "MDXDYNO... Never use".

The dyno guys didn't really say too much about it, get what you pay for I guess... Gonna try a little more reputable dyno next time. The power curve on my GSR was very straight forward to read compared to this one, except that it had bags less power..well not that much :)

Cheers

One weird looking dyno graph!In fact,the power curve looks a lot like the torque curve.I mean, when was last time anyone ever saw power curve dead-flat?Definetly looks like torque.And torque looks very much like the power curve.Except it peaks too early and drops-off too quick to be the power curve.Strange.Could be that the dyno parameters/software were not set-up correctly before the run or something.One weird looking dyno graph.

that is seriously confused. Sure that wasn't made with a spirograph? ...sorry. But it is a weird graph. Use search, and look for 'dyno' - there are may of the guy's dyno sheets on here and you'll probably be able to find a 32 GTR dyno sheet somewhere to compare it to :)

Is that the wheel spinning run? That may explain the apparent power loss. Also that torque figure looks a little unrealistic. 32/33 gtr pull 350-360 Nm at around 4500 rpm stock.

Just remember that power = torque x revs. So as torque drops and revs rise power stays flat.

My guess is wheel spin (and the values are too high). What you've got there is wheels breaking traction at 100kms as the torque ramps up and the correction values on the dyno giving a very high reading.

I'm with Dave, that's the sort of result we get when there is wheelspin. The resistance at the rollers gets to a certain point and then the tyres slip on the rollers. So it always shows the same max power as the wheelspin increases and holds the readings constant. It can be bad enough to affect the power readings, but not bad enough to smoke the joint out.

The torque readings are being affected by being in 3rd gear, that may be the reason why they are higher than usual (in 4th).

I'd suggest another run but in 4th gear and tied down better to the dyno.

Hope that helps

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
