ok just had the 1st dyno run since i have owned the car

mods are

internaly stock rb25

greddy copy plenum

555nismo injectors

z32

water meth 375ml/m nozzle

fmic

gt3076 turbo

splitfire coils

boost bleed valve (turbosmart) not happy with

split dump...

gutted cat...

ok the car turned 281 rwkw at 20psi The mafia put 2 degrees more timing in and no gains so i got a restriction.....maybe

exhaust is 3inch right through bar the cat its gutted but is 2.5 inch in out...so i hope thats soe of the problem

next is cooler pipeing from turbo to cooler is 2.5 inch from coolr to manifold is 3 inch so im gunna go 3 inch from the turbo to the cooler then to the manifold...

next thing came to mind was air flow meter....maxing out...?? shouldnt be...

what you think here are the graphs.....

afrs need a tidy up few spots to fix.

ebc needed......

i was hopeing for more but its crazy to drive ...

what you guys think.....

Curve is pretty wavy i reckon the timing curve needs "smoothing" or bit better interpolation. AFM is fine as it wont effect power (only tuning resolution, mapping points will flatline at 5v) Cooler Piping wont make a diff i run 2.5" on cars well over 300. Could just be rear housing looking at graph it tops out way early... what size is it?

Edited by URAS

id say its a fundamental issue you have

the restriciton sounds pretty bad given you are stuffing 20psi into it on a 3076 compressor wheel

i would be looking at the copy plenum you have, they are known baddies

the exhaust restrisction probably isnt a big big issue, sure every bit helps, but not that much difference i wouldnt think ?

cooler piping is a waste of time

theres no way it would restrict it

if its the same size as the compressor outlet then its fine

only if it was smaller in diameter, would it be an issue

the mafia runs same setup he has .6 something rear and is making 314kw..i got the larger housing....so i should blitz it...

tired motor maybe...

he is using methanol injection or whatever too

key factor

ahh crap i had wondered about the copy plenum.......it looked great inside and ports matched up pretty well to the gasket had to tidy a little bit up with die grinder.....dammit

another r33 made 290kw same setup no water meth standard manifold (inlet)

mafia 314kw stock manifold....water meth

i made 281 water meth greddy copy....

dosent look good at all.....

fark fark fark......

if the cat has 2.5" inlet and outlets then you are losing around 30% of your cross sectional area.

i would change the cat before i did anything else. it is the cheapest and easiest thing to change and it is clearly a restriction relative to the rest of the exhaust.

so even though its gutted it is still a restriction?

what if it were something close to 3" say 2,75"???

2.75" there is a difference of about 16% in cross sectional area compared to 3"

is it a significant restriction?? i guess it depends on power levels.

getting the same diameter of pipe all the way through removes a known/likely source of turbulence and restriction for not too much money. it just makes sense to me to do the cheapest and easiest things first.

Surely intake plenum wouldnt make that much difference even if it were slightly out. I run one, have made 387rwhp @ 18psi through a built auto with mine before and I had to do a lot of cleaning to the ports to get it to match right... I didnt think it would impact that much??

definitely look at the exhaust before you look at anything else.. if your cat is a 2.5" entry that could be holding you back big time.. I doubt that plennum is a restriction at that power level. Its a 2 minute test. Drop the exhaust after the dump pipe and put it on the dyno. if you have good power, you know you've got a restriction.

Other questions that come to mind - what fuel system are you running (pump, pressure reg). fluctuating fuel pressure could make it difficult to control the AFR's which would explain why they are a bit jumpy.. However at no point is it running overly rich, so i dont think your losing power because of the AFR's...

fuel system is bosch 044, standard fuel reg....

doing cat tonight.....wont be able to dyno again till next week.....

thansk for everyone help too!

i doubt its the plenum

should i be replacing the bov?

maybe leaking under high boost....all little contributing faults....

cooler piping is a waste of time

theres no way it would restrict it

if its the same size as the compressor outlet then its fine

only if it was smaller in diameter, would it be an issue

2" cooler piping made 300rwkw on PULP @ 17psi with cams, std exhaust manifold, std inlet.

Pressure drop was fairly high and with more boost top end boost simply tails off.

The dyno curve was also rather spikey and wavey, something the 100mm fmic with 2.5" piping fixes.

    • I can also smell fuel in oil if that helps. 
    • Hello, after engine rebuild(new cylinder liners and piston rings, arp headstuds, metal cometic tripple layer gasket, all new main/rod bearings) and roughly 100km made I did measure compression and it’s (1-6) - 80, 60, 90, 120, 110, 135. It’s rb25det series 1 - hydraulic lifters. Measured on cold engine. Didn’t check on hot due to overall car problems such as broken 3rd gear, idle issues, misfire etc. I did smoke test only on 2nd and 5th cylinder bcs soldering iron used with this method broke itself. So after setting cams to side - side 90 left/right angle I can see smoke coming off from intake manifold and turbo exhaust flange. 5th didn’t notice any smoke. Shop did head, valve etc job but I assemble it by myself. So I thinking about lifters. I don’t remember if they were soft or not it was long time ago. In my opinion I didn’t bleed them and they can be opened more than they should be. Can it be more likely possible? Or timing can be off by 1 teeth and can cause such weird compression? But if timing would be out wouldn’t it be like such big difference across all cylinders? Please help I’m so sad it happened. 
    • Hey, yeah I really like the color. Only paint I'd rather have is KN6, but those are expensive. Right now I'm trying to get the car to the point where I can get it tuned to 370hp so the whole setup can be driven legally, and pass the next inspection that is already due anyway. Beyond that lots of rust fixing I'm afraid, winter project is most likely going to be a front end teardown and fixing the strut tower rust. I know these can be driven daily but I don't think I will do so anytime soon. Will post a build thread soon with a list of issues and futute plans.   Cheers
    • Wanted to reply to this topic. I'm in the somewhat same boat with our Stagea. I'm trying to install a different rear diff. The Stagea/Skyline uses mounts on top of the rear diff for the ATTESA pump. Any way you can relocate the pump? I did find this kit https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
    • So here's the deal, my wife picked up an S2 AWD Stagea. Super cool, clean car. Looks like the owner in Japan went track spec as it's got some heavy modifications including Exedy twin disk, tension rods, coilovers, GTR brakes, oil cooler & a Nismo 2 way rear diff. Now, cool mods for sure. But, she is just using this as a casual daily driver. The 2 way rear is AGGRESSIVE. It also has solid subframe bushings & poly diff bushings. So that doesn't help either. So far I've tried changing the diff fluid to the correct fluid. Even tried a little friction modifier. No help. This thing clunks, skips the tires & has some slight whine/NVH when driving. Might sound like I'm being picky, but just trying to find a better solution. Here in the states, it's impossible to find a Stagea rear diff. No luck. I do have a 300zx non-turbo diff. Same ratio, 5 bolt axles. On the Stagea, you need both front & rear diff ratios to match. This car is a 4.083. I'd like to just swap a normal rear diff into this thing. Nothing fancy. Even open diff is fine. She's not tracking the car LOL The difference is that the ATTESA pump mounts to the top of the rear diff. There are 3 total mounting points for the pump on top of the diff. With all this being said, what would be the best way to go about this? I could remove the Stagea diff & see if I could get somebody to possibly weld the 3 tabs/mounting points onto the 300zx diff so we could mount the pump on the 300zx diff. I could swap the internals from the 300zx into the Stagea diff but this is not in my comfort zone. Is it possible to mount the ATTESA pump to the underside of the car? Sorry for the paragraph. Just trying to figure out how to go about this. Any help is much appreciated! Stagea Differential - Note two top tabs, one bolt hole for ATTESA pump mounting   300zx Diff - No mounting tabs Also found this mounting kit ?? https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
