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

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
