I'm not being a dickhead, merely trying to understand.

I don't want to sidetrack this thread any more. I am merely repeating what I have been told. It might be absolute cr#p, but I respect the people who told me. I think the thread you chose shows the range in quality of information on much of this forum. Some people know their stuff. Others don't. I cannot give a sound reference for my comment, so those reading should not put much store by it.

Cheers.

Syfon: Rohans GTR has catback only, pods pfc and running 14psi (1bar) - made 240awhp on that 40deg day at autoworx a while back where everyone elses' numbers were hammered.

Even my Stag pulled 222awhp on that day only running 12psi.. what's your point?

His point would be that the heat made him lose power, meaning his car would have more than the power figure it pulled on the dyno

No, I don't think so. He said Rohans' GTR made 240awhp while everyone elses numbers were hammered.. implying that Rohans' figure wasn't low while everyone elses was.

Yes it was hot, and yes certain ECU's were pulling a lot of timing (my Haltech for example, I was down nearly 100hp), but I really fail to see what that comment had to do with anything.

Top Racing's dyno is the highest reading dyno I've had my car on in Perth. Might be why Canute's power figure seems high.

If you guys want to compare power properly, use the same dyno on the same day or go get some quarter mile time slips.

280kw = 375whp. Thats more than mine makes with all my list of mods at 1.3bar. You ran 1.2bar/17-18psi on stock turbos? Where did you get yours dyno'd?

Say if you do a turbo-back exhaust (de-cat), pod filters, boost the turbo's a few pounds higher than factory and install a power-fc, how much awhp should if expect within reason on a safe tune?

Thats very low... even though temperature is high.

Correction - it was 1.3 bar. My apologies. It was tuned by Steve Thomas using the dyno at Top Racing (in Shootout mode, see attached). This was a good example of what you can get out of a GTR with only a few mods.

Cheers. :/

That make a lot more sense now. :/

I dont really think these kinda information consider derailing? Merely providing the future owner of a 33/34 gtr owner whats sort of figures he can expect with the type of mods he's putting on.

Anyway regardless of which gtr you end up getting, tune it to 0.9 would be safe and good enough for daily driving. That extra power is f**k all when you've got a really good tune imo.

As Canute said, let's not sidetrack this thread any more. I will be viewing a few more R33 GTR's on the weekend and will post updates as to the conidition etc.

Cheers

As Canute said? LOL

what happed to the name Brendan? hahaha

Char - yeh the link is dead because the R34 GTR did sell to the guy who flew over from Adelaide.

Are you sure it sold to Mr. Adelaide? Cos I'm pretty sure I saw that white 34 GTR at Curtin yesterday afternoon :huh:

I specifically remmeber the black mark, about 15cm long below the driver side headlight...

Or maybe he bought it and is waiting to ship it over lol. Dunno.. if it was me, after I'd paid 40k for a sports car, I'd want the keys and definately wouldn't let the old owner still drive it around to uni :(

I think he was implying that everyone elses numbers were hammered so Rohan's probably was too. Because Rohan had never had that car dynoed before, so he had no figure to compare it too. But everyone else was losing lots of numbers, so he was implying that Rohan probably lost a bit as well.

I think anyway lol, that's how i read it.

His point would be that the heat made him lose power, meaning his car would have more than the power figure it pulled on the dyno

all dyno have Correction factors. Therefore they adjust the power depending on the intake temp. so on a hot day the dyno will increase your power.

That is why it is common to see dyno read outs with high intake temps (overly high) as it will increase your power output

    • Shove more foam in it as a minimum if you possibly can. Or steel wool (not the stuff with soap on it!) Baffles / getting the oil out of the air is huge, and should be done at both the cam cover, and the catch can.   I'm about to do a power steering reservoir, and even that needs some thought to make sure air is separated from the oil, to stop evil Cavitation. I'll probably look at doing my own catchcan later on too.
    • I was once told, who it was I'm to old to remember, that the length of the OEM wheels brace supplied with a vehicle is designed long enough for a average person to apply enough torque to do up, and undo the wheel nuts to the specified torque  What a average person is is anyone's guess though, i.e. average fat bastard, average knuckle head, average perfect sized human......like me Unless of course, a tyre shop has ugga dugga'd them up to "torque to yeild/strip" specs, used cross threading as natures lock tight, or a big breaker bar was used to tighten them up to get some nice stretch in the poor old wheel studs Me, I torque wheel nuts to 1 elbow joint click, lower torque settings are based of wrist clicks, higher torque settings are based of shoulder clunks, or total dislocation for anything that requires all of the torques 
    • I think the catch can design is pretty flawed. Evident in the fact that the V2 one moved to a larger top mounted filter which alone would have helped with overflow and reduce restrictions compared with the side filter. I also imagine there was a major improvement to the baffling design. It is worth mentioning that this catch can with the RB20 was never as much of an issue and the high kms RB25 is likely a part of the problem. I have gotten quotes for both a new "Vibrant Gen 3" catch can and to modify this existing ones but that may have to wait until after the track day. I hope the sump/head breathers/drains and cam splash plates will be enough
    • Yep, both. The ratio is 1.8 instead of OEM being 1.7. The rocker bodies are modified with a larger bolt hole and re-threaded with 10mm holes instead of the 8mm YT has stock. Finding out they don't actually fit the stock castings cause a lot of un-impressment by the person in the USA who tapped the new holes for the 'upgraded' YT product. He was very unhappy with them given their previous design did not require 'clearancing'
    • That too, but I think this is why she's put the work into the cam cover baffles. I mean, a catch can should only need to be a catch can, not an oil air separator also. Not to say that putting the effort into having it do a better job of oil-air sep is a waste of time, but doing the sep earlier is always going to make life better. And that should happen now anyway.
