In my experience i have found that dynos often tell lies.

I beleive that it is only used for tunung and are very inconsistant in there power figures.

I have an r33gtst with I/c, 14psi standard trbo,air filter, 3inch exh turbo back.

1st dyno run @ PET: 198RWKW(14psi)

2nd dyno run @ club Meet: 170rwkw(14psi)

With these mods described above i ran a 13.8 1/4 mile.

Then

Installed Microtech plug in at PROMAZ

Dyno run @ Promaz: 165RWKW Although the car is a lot quicker then what it was with previous dyno runs.(14psi)

Hope that info can support why i think as i do about dyno power figures.

confak, The dyno was run in shootout mode, and has just been checked by Dyno Dynamics for consistancy with there test dyno vehicle and found to be within 1% of the power reading on a 400rwhp vehicle. It is used by virtually every SAU member in WA, and reads lower than many other dyno's here. I'm expecting to get a reading of 450rwhp with the same setup at the dyno at the Perth Autosalon. I have used this dyno for all my work, I'm not swapping dyno's to try and get a high reading.

Here is my dyno graph for those that are interested. The top two curves are the 411.9rwhp run, and my daily drive power curves. As you can see we're starting to get a bit of plug breakdown, so I have a new set of plugs going in. We are slowly ramping the boost, just to keep the pistons intact. We're running quite rich still just to protect the pistons, about 11.5:1 AFR's. It also has very little timing in at the moment, so when I put forgies in I expect the shape of the graph to be much fatter even with the same amount of boost.

I am shocked, i recon u should pull your injectors off and prove to us that they are the stockies, coz even tho when you get your car from an importer u never know exactly what has been done to it in japan.

If u were getting only 80% duty cycle at 411rwhp using a few physics cals u r running atleast 550cc injectors.

Will be interesting when mine finially gets done coz i got the same manifold as you and getting a 550hp garrett turbo.

Also what correction numbers were entered in shootout mode before you did the run? coz you can very easily enter in the temp as being 35 degrees humidity 80% etc when it is alot less and hence u will get a higher reading coz of the correction factor.

RS500, The 500 and 600hp GT30's use the same size exhaust housing, just different sized wheels. It's reasonably responsive and great for the street:D

INASNT, Send me some money and I'll take them out and get them flow tested:D Not many people would change the injectors to 550's on a completly stock car, but you never know. All the shootout readings are on the bottom of the dyno printout, which is the benefit of shootout mode, you get to see exactly what conditions it was done under.

Well done Paul, what a great result. What red line are you running? Also, was that a 4th gear dyno run? Nice wide power band too, a really nice looking dyno, time to buy some nittos:D

And I reckon the reason you are getting all that power with stock cams is because you have a trust plenum - flows so much better than the stocker obviously:p Have to see how mine goes with the new plenum:D

It is pretty awesome result esp with those injectors - all those out there that say it cant be done, one possible reason (might stop your brain hurting sydneykid:D):

I have heard that the stock injectors actually flow around 10% higher than their rating, so around 407cc/min, it is quite possible that the bosch pump actually flows higher than rated as well - a couple of pounds is not excessive AND the trust plenum actually flows really well at higher cfm when under boost.

See, not so incredible now is it.

Once again congrats Paul, nice work. I think you should get those a/f ratios around 11.8-11.9 though, still pretty safe and see if you cant get a few more ponies. At least you dont have to worry about killing the ringlands as forgies are going in.

INASNT, I know a fair bit about what to look for on Skylines these days and I'm sure it wasn't ever modified:D

Steve, Thanks buddy. Redline is 7500, and it was a 4th gear run. I love the Greddy plenum, regardless of what other people say;) I don't want to push the car until I now I have the money for the engine rebuild, until then I'm happy with the safe fuel mixtures:D

GTS-t VSPEC,

i do agree about the different compressor wheels although i believe that both the 500hp & 600hp GT30 turbo's come with an option of A/R .63, .82 or 1.06 exhaust housings.

RS500, Depends what full boost is:D It's on 17psi by 4000rpm.

that's pretty good response for a trubo of that size. it will be interesting when u can wind some more boost into it and give a nice aggressive tune :(

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
    • i need a complete tail light for my R33 GTR if you have please let me know.
    • I need a great maintenance workshop around Idaho, if you know one please let me know..
