Just Done 100k Service

If there is any advice i can give ya mate

dont get the bendix pads....save some money and get lucas pads

bendix put out shitload of brake dust compared to the lucas

and lucas brakes better and can operate at a higher temperature

Theres nothing wrong with bendix. I've been using them for the last two years and have zero complaints, why change? I've never even heard of lucas pads, and I don't track the car so *shrug* why bother..

-D

[webng]

yeah im a fan i was sure you had dyslexia with your power figure and meant 153 not to worry

...

Yeah? I'm sure he said 135kw but maybe i heard wrongly. He couldn't print it out as he needed a new printer head! Mods is hi-flow panel filter, turbo back 3" exhaust, hi flow cat, mbc @ 9psi.

i was just letting you know my experience with Bendix pads

they are great apart from the massive brake dust that they put out

yeah they are rather dusty but i have grey rims anyhow so its not really an issue

ahh grey wont show up much

whereas silver it shows up in no time

[Madaz]

Yeah standard 25det is about 150

I've know Shaun since pre-Boostworx days (well before) and I can't speak more highly of him. The business grew strongly in those early days from word of mouth alone.

The Boostworx crew is:

Shaun - owner and tuning guru

Troy

Adam - apprentice

Andrew

Ha-ha, apologies Nick, it was I that killed the print head - a week or so back. It was already a bit dodgy, but after scrolling though heaps of dyno log data and printing off a few sheets I managed to kill it completely.

From my experience with completely standard RB25DET R33 engines the average power figure on a Dyno Dynamics dyno is 130-135rwkw.

[Madaz]

Matt wouldn't you assume that's on about 7psi

so with a 3" exhaust and 9 psi may very well reach 150

[whatsisname]

Yep, spot on, Steve.

A completely standard R33 GTS25t (and I would assume RS4 in RWD) on the factory setting of 7 psi boost will return 125-135rwkw on DD dyno. At 9-10 psi with basic supporting modifications (exhaust and filter) that figure should increase to 145-150rwkw.

I have a DD dyno sheet from back in 1999, at the time my '33 had a pod filter, cat-back Trust exhaust, and was running 10psi via a bleed valve. From memory it recorded 148rwkw.

[Krishy]

with my few mods and thanks to steve for lending me his bleeder on the day

i made 195.6rwkw on the boostworx dyno

was very happy with the result of it

mods.....turbo back trust exhaust, pod filter, fmic, coil packs and bleeder on 13psi = 195.6rwkw

From my experience with completely standard RB25DET R33 engines the average power figure on a Dyno Dynamics dyno is 130-135rwkw.

Spot on IMO.

My R32 GTST when 100% stock right down to the exhaust and cat made 110rwkw, 115rwkw with a little more timing and 125rwkw with the afr leaned out by Tim's (old rpm performance owner) good old fuel pressure reg bleeder.

Can't speak more highly of Shaun also. I have known Shaun since pre-boostworx days when he was helping out RPM.

[datto_sw]

these seem like low numbers to me ay, both my mates stock r33's made about 170 at boost works. and my old stocker pretty shagged rb20 made 134.4.

[whatsisname]

A standard R33 RB25DET wouldn't even get close to 170rwkw on Shaun's current DD dyno. Not a hope in hell. When I state standard, I am talking about stock exhaust, stock 7psi boost, stock everything.

Even the old Boostworx dyno wouldn't have recorded 170rwkw for completely standard '33. The old dyno was about 15rwkw high - so a standard RB25DET '33 would record ~145rwkw.

On the current Boostworx DD dyno a standard R33 RB25DET will record ~130-135rwkw, much more than this and you have a freak or it is not standard.

Yep, that's about what I would expect for those modifications on the Boostworx dyno.

You have almost doubled the stock boost level (7psi + 6psi) completely opened up the restrictive exhaust and cooled the inlet air charge. I would guess that your '33 GTS25t is a series 2? The series 2 ECU responds quite well to basic mod's.

Nope its a r33 series 1 mate

i wasnt too suprised as with those mods on 7psi the car made 179rwkw on graham west dynos

and boostworx and graham west dynos are within 2rwkw of each other

[Brezza]

my 32 GTR is going in for a pair of 2860r-5's next week.

mine had blown a few weeks ago, so i am really eager to get the car working again. its booked in for plugs and a tune too.

i am hoping for around the 250rwkw mark. but i guess well just wait and see how the car handles it.

it will be the first time i use boostworx so it will be interesting for me to find out whether all the good rap they get is true.

i hope so!

[Damo_R34]

what supporting mods are you running Michael?

[Stamps]

Another +1 for Boostworx. I've had the 100k service and a 10k service done there now, and the only complaint I had was that when they've refilled the radiator, they didn't fill it up properly with Distilled Water after putting the coolant concentrate in. So when I got home and had a look, my overflow bottle was empty and I couldn't see any coolant in the radiator... having just driven 45mins in peak hour traffic, I was a bit freaked out... esp as they'd have done the dyno run like that. But it only took another litre of demin water to top it up, and it's been going fine ever since.

But they're great guys to deal with and I'm quite happy with their services.

could have possibly just overlooked that i guess

they are pretty busy down there....they do some awesome work though

[Brezza]

my 89 GTR is just stock with a full 3 in stainless exhaust and high flow cat.

and a couple of trust airnix pods.

its not that uncommon to get over the 250rwkw mark with the RB26 with a little more boost and better flowing exhaust and filters.

i just hope the turbos arent gonna be too laggy.

i suppose i dont have too long to wait!
