got my r32 dynoed today at powertune...

rb20det

stock internals

stock injectors

stock turbo

fmic

3"exhaust/dump

pod

walbro 500hp fuel pump

stainless manifold (leakin badly needs replacment)

apexi safc controller

drift bov

run on 12psi.. made 172rwkw in 41 degree out side heat!!!

was happy

have rb25 turbo and gtr injectors on there way, will put on once get manifold fixed or replaced aftermarket plugs and coil packs and then retuned!!

At the wheels.

For reference on a very safe tune with an HKS2530, fuel pump, injectors, AFM etc on a relatively good condition RB20 at 14psi bleeding down to 12 I got 175kw-180kw on a 33c degree day. Pulled 195kw at 16psi with massive misfires due to coils.

Could be a freak engine but its hard to imagine getting that much power out of a standard turbo.

Mate - those figures are wrong.

Have a look @ the IT temp is -71 (IT stands for Intake Temp Sensor)

They have a broken temp sensor, how can you be in -71 degree's on a 24 degree day?

Your coolant would be frozen solid - like i said mate, they have botched your runs, there is no possible way to make 170rwkw from a factory RB20 Turbo on 12psi

I suggest you find another tuner, if they can't even maintain or setup their equipment correctly, goodness knows what the tuning is like.

it was on a 41 degree day?air temp inside the shop and dyno room with the fan going would of been lower...

im not sayn u are wrong but i have a friend with the almost the same mods and he gets his car tuned at a different place and it makes 166rwkw with stock turbo???? my boost controller is set to 14.4psi on hi boost but has bad boost drop to 12 thats y i said on 12psi??? i have been told they were a good tuner

If it was 41 degree's outside then that is even worse champ.

The dyno sheet AT:24 (Ambient Temp) says 24 degree's was the temp during your tune/runs etc etc.

Which is virtually 20 degree's off, not a good thing at all, quite signifigant in terms of accuracy. ;)

I say this because if they can't get simple weather corrections/sensors working, i would be dubious of other things like AFR's being correct (ie the sensor being poorly calibrated/broken like the other ones clearly are)

That then has follow on impacts to the tune and at worst - your motor.

they didnt put a thermometer on it so the intake temp wouldn be right.. i dunno then coz my mate also has one with 166rwkw and has drove mine and says goes better than his... pretty sure if u look at the otha 32s on here u will c some with more power with the stock turbo..

Mate you need to calibrate the dyno if you are ever going to hope to have meaningful results for everything from the power to the AFR's

Plenty of stock turbo results to be seen here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb....html&st=20

Norm is 145-160 give/take for 12-14psi.

130-140rwkw for 10-11psi

Normal temps (22-26) - Let alone on a 40 degree day.

It seems you don't really understand fully how a dyno works...

I've told you that the dyno they are using is not correctly setup at all, and this could easily result in a a poor tune and/or your motor death or serious damage over time.

So wether you choose to take what i've said seriously, or just don't care about your car/motor, is totally upto you.

I've seen plenty of people dudded by poor work over the years and it has cost them plenty of money to get it fixed down the track.

as i said it must be possible as i looked in the link and only looked at a few and spotted one 170rwkw on 1 bar boost stock turbo???

1990 R32 75000Kms

RB20DET Stock Internals

Stock Turbo

FMIC

POD

3" TRust exhaust

EBC

BP Ultimate

170.2rwkw @ 1 Bar Boost

Agree with Ash. Wouldn't be pulling myself over those results. Obviously a dodgy maintained, high reading dyno to keep customers like you happy who don't understand the basics behind how dyno's work and calculate the data.

People comparing chassis dyno results are only kidding themselves. To many variables.

lol -71 degrees Intake temp. your fuel would be freezing in the inlet...

you need to understand the dyno software takes into account ambient temp (AT) and intake temp (IT) and corrects the power figure accordingly. withh figures like those who knows what kind of power figure correction it would be applying. but I can tell you now it's very, very unlikely that your 32 GTST is making 170rwkw @ 12.5psi. just as unlikely as it has -71C intake temp...

upsetting to see this mate, ive always heard good things about powertune

maybe you should take on the info richard and ash are saying and give them a call and ask some questions, and try to get some answers and hopefully a re-tune/refund/etc..

also, keep your eye out for an rb25 turbo, a nice bang for buck upgrade for the rb20 :P

yeh i have rb25 turbo and gtr injectors on there way... maybe they f*kd up.. ive seen a few otha ones making like 180kw + with stock turbo so i dunno... yeh powertune is supossed to be great

i think they f**ked up man, ash knows his shit

call them

yeah I dunno about this bloke but I have seen an RB20 silvertop on an A31 unopened with an Impul ECU, East Bear front mount GT-R cooler kit, 3" zorst no cat or mufflers and a R34 turbo pull 170 rwkw, the car's track performance was able to speak for itself (ie was able to cane a stock R34 GT-T, and give my old 160rwkw VN SS a hiding lol; I admit there would be a weight advantage since this A31 weighs 1200kg lol)

    • Have you checked the foam over the years? No deterioration to the foam from e85 mixing in oil? (assuming you're on E85)
    • Add to this... What blew the fuse too? If a circuit feeding power to the coils was blown, how were the coils even functioning to let the car start?   There is some seriously wrong wiring in that car for certain, and I'm betting there is some melted cables somewhere, but I can't explain the 30v either, unless there is something back feeding on that power line that has a dodgy power system and the electronics are giving it hell.
    • This is typically the case with such threads. What I cannot quite get my head around is where a reading above 12V (or 13.8 or 14.x or whatever the maximum achievable voltage might actually be in that specific car) comes from. 25V or 30V should be completely impossible. There's no way to create it. Hard to answer that question. It will literally depend on whether the current tune relies on the values as set. I'd guess it probably does. ie, the real base pressure being 49 means that the flowrate through the injectors will be higher than if it was 43.5. The Haltech's modelling should be handling that, but because it thinks the pressure is only 43.5, then..... I dunno. It should be thinking that it will be injecting less fuel with each pulse duration than is actually happening. So, something is definitely not-as-it-should-be, but specifically what that is is beyond my abilities to imagine. Someone like Dose who spends more time with Haltechs might have a better thought.
    • Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?
