Very Confusing Power Run

[R33GOD]

hey guys 5 weeks ago i got my r33gtst tuned at creatd on 13psi

r33 gtst with supporting mods and a standard hiflow r33 turbo on 13 psi made 220.6rwk (creatd)

today i got my new clutch installed at EAS and id thought id give it a power run too see what i get on theirs.

196.9 rwk

surely it cannot be right. i mean it is a hiflow turbo...car also has a pfc, full exhaust, z32afm, injectors, fuel pump, blitz fmic.

car is in immaculate condition mechanically.

very confused... i have heard of variances before but thats a big gap

Been convered many times before. Every dyno reads differently. From being different type ie hub, roller whatever or from not being calibrated before a run. Alot of variables can affect the power outcome. 196rkw is low for your mods, i'd say the 220 run would be about right. Just stick to one dyno so you can have some form of comparison.

yeah as above been covered a heap of times now.

I take it the ambient temp and humidity etc was all roughly the same? fuel, oil plugs etc?

to get any real worth while numbers i'd say stick to the same dyno and also i'd say same operator..

and same I agree with MR 33, i'd be taking notice of 220, with hi flow and pfc etc 196kw's seem way too low

[R31Nismoid]

Use the same dyno if you want to 'compare' otherwise settings are going to be all over the place

[black_gtst]

+1 for same dyno

[R33GOD]

i think there must be a problem as i had a couple of runs on my mates driveway on the farm. only 2nd and 3rd gear and abit in 4th i was only a car or so infront of him by the end of it. he has a r33 gtst only on 10 psi (stock turbo) and cat back exhaust.

i dont know what could be wrong

[LTHLRB]

as long as the car still goes good, there is nothing to worry about

[R33GOD]

it actually goes crap phil. very dissapointed.

can smell fuel at idle though....

[monga]

take it back to the first place, if it makes the same power your car is fine. Then if its struggling to hold a stocker I imagine that reading is out 220rwkw is a shitload more than 140 or 150rwkw they make stock, then maybe the first reading is more accuarate

hmm.. i can smell fuel from mine at idle too.. but thats koz its a full straight system.. what ecu u running agen? i suggest get rob to suss things out asap

[R31Nismoid]

it actually goes crap phil. very dissapointed.

Well if its going like crap - there is a problem dude

Time to workout whats wrong, something like a fuel reg could have failed, injector leaky maybe?

Many options and fiddly ones too

[R33GOD]

we found the problem. eas took off the actuator today because he was going to tune it but couldnt due to not having his software.

we monitered the boost tonight and was tapering off to 11 psi instead of 13 where it was set at from creatd originally.

very dissapointed with that

[R31Nismoid]

lol, not surprised at that

[wildr33gtst]

So how does it go now? good to hear you fixed it.

[R33GOD]

gettin a retune next week.

goes ok for 11 psi

[eddieeeee-ro]

how come you dont run more than 13psi on your high flow?

whats holding you back?

[bluegts]

"dont hold back

is there anybody out there?

feeling something

engage me, let me breathe the courage of your actions

dont hold back make it before the good

the truth is, i am not your cure but i can help you

find a way to reconcile the dark"

BOOOsT! As long as it is a highflow... lol. Cause I was told mine was, 16psi later. BANNG. I never even found my exhaust turbine OR the shaft haha. Guess thats what you get for running no cat and a straight through exhaust hahaha.... The intercooler and throttle body did a pretty good job of collecting the compressor wheel.

On the plus side, I ended up with a sick as $20k portable smoke machine with music. lolz
