yeah i reckon an exhaust is definitely on the agenda

want to do a few small things first

fix the seat, gear boot, gear nob, tint etc

then a few mods

im still not 100% sure if i just keep it stock or not

maybe just get an exhaust and keep the stock one in the garage, so i can always put stock back on for a fully stock re-sale

i reckon you would fetch more for a stock 32 in a few years than a molested one :laugh:

Yeh i think it was a reasonable result and he was pleased to see that it was all in order - was fresh off the boast only a couple of months back. exhaust is probably on the cards sooner or later especially after he noticed my gtst pulls away from him... :D yet his 'R' pulls hard for 100% stocko :)
old rusted exhaust = good excuse for upgrade :yes:

LOL! Yeah get the few interior things done and like what I did, you can keep the stock catback exhaust (Suprisingly the pipe is quite big) just aftermarket dump pipes and cat and keep eveything like you said.

HAHA! Getting beaten by ya bro in his GTS-T! Oh well... Looks like you do need the exhaust and maybe upgrade to a K&N high flow panel filter in ya air box.

No one has said it yet but nice work on the tea towels pete - they look tops. :D

Oh - and for who ever asked I didn't put my car on the dyno. But I had just picked it up from Racepace where it had made around 380 or something which I guess would equate to around 204 on Rays dyno. :)

thanks for the comments about the car guys :)

Big thanks to the exec SAU crew for putting on a great day!! Didn't get to try the lamb sausages though... :D

Nice to say hi to a few people, Ash, Brad, Paul, Mav, Roy, Jack, Pete, Matt and meet some new ones Dave, and the two dudes, one with that drift spec silver 32 (i'm not sure if we got each others names, sorry if i've forgotten!!)

Car didn't make what i thought it was capable of, and especially after seeing some of the dyno results here, something definitely seems a bit odd.

Here's my graph....

graph.jpg

The curve looks ok and but seems to be well down on power considering i have a full 3" stainless system (BATMBL split front/dump pipe, 3" cat, 3" cat back HKS super dragger) And one of those $30 boost controllers.

I did notice that it was spewing out a lot of smoke though which i guess coincides with how rich the car gets. Oh thanks for Roy and Matt to explaining the AFR curve for me :(

So yeah, thoughts on the graph? I'm thinking it should be make about 20kw's more going on something like Chris's graph and even the silvia graph above.

Is there anything i can look at before i go playing with the ECU?? I'm going to get a Dr Drift remap, but if there is something i can do about it before that, i'm willing to give it a try.

where do i find the intake temp? :D

Probably a stupid question, but my tyres are 40psi or more, it says 35... that wouldn't make any difference would it?

EDIT: think i found it, IT: 22??

yeah, a few key cars had REALLY high intake temperature reading, which pumped up power considerably.

most cars had the intake air temp probe in the right place, the Airbox or near the air filter, others, well, didn't.....

Damn those lamb sausages were good even if i say so myself hehe :D

+1 on the sausages they were great. :)

I was one of the new faces and i really enjoyed the atmospheare.

My car didn't make it into any pics but. :( It was the burgundy 33 in the driveway across from r&e.

Awesome day - really enjoyed myself. BBQ wasn't bad either :D

Here's my dyno graph:

post-2240-1204505826_thumb.jpg

Only mods:

- GKTech split dump+front 3"

- super high-flow cat :)

- 3.5" cat-back

- Apexi Pod

- Front-Mount

- Bosch 040 Pump on standard boost. Pretty happy with that.

Cheers,

Steve.

a few key cars??

sooo.... how much of a difference does it actually make??

Daniel - your result sounds about right. give/take 10rwkw for dyno differences and so on, and its perfectly normal.

You really need to change ECU and put a good tune through it. That would give you anothyer 15-20rwkw.

Only some cars had massive IT temps, most were correct :laugh:

55deg intake temp is worth ~30-40rwkw from what i have seen when your up around 300rwkw that is.

Basically more power you make, bigger the difference due to the correction factor for intake temps.

On a 200rwkw car, the difference is around 15-20rwkw.

nothing wrong with that, curve looks good... its just a tad rich as you haven't got anything to lean out the mixtures... stock ecu sees more airflow than standard and dumps extra fuel in to be safe... hence the smoke outta the exhaust:)

    • Also sorry to hear this @DanielStone - I remember @SmoothLine well, he was around for a very long time and was one of the original members of this site.  God Speed Matt. Thoughts with his family and friends.
    • Nice car! Looking at your GTS; makes me wonder why I bought a GTS-t... Everything has been changed anyway. I should have just started with a non turbo model.
    • Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt. its a snip of what I’m up against. front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙 att.DqweJqhY5MZiZYQDVMhn3LtvdD1RBZ7TBG4f2s7W1zM.mp4 att.lFuN22MZEowqCbFAXoDw009r2gHL76ChMVfxMfBX-uk.mp4
    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
