I've never seen a flat spot THAT bad on an R33 with stock ECU.

I've seen many small dips before, but nothing that severe!

Maybe your ECU was just really having a bad day!

Having a total shocker of a day !!

But now it's mega smooth.

For a stock ECU I'm really happy at how smooth it is now.

There's a bit of a dip right up top where the wastegate is having a hard time, but apart from that it's all good.

If I'm real keen I could squeeze another 1-1.5 psi out of it, then run it again on a cold day and maybe break 175rwkw on the stock ECU.... Or run it in shootout mode and it'll read higher.....If I'm really keen that is, which I'm not...

Just as a comparison on the dyno - A R32 GTR ran up straight after I did, this GTR did 240rwkw on a dyno down in Melb, and only pulled 225rwkw on this dyno. This same car has managed a 4.1 sec 0-100 time !!!

Just goes to show that you can't compare different dynos etc...

u sure the speedo isnt out of whack? the speedos are known to be out of whack alittle at those speeds, because my speedos seems to reading like 190km, but im in 5th gear and at 5k rpm, and hit the 180km/h speed cut.

Al,

I used a car speed estimator table that uses g'box ratio, diff ratio, & wheel/tyre circumference. It spat out 204.12km/h @ 7000rpm in 4th. This is using a 255/40/17 tyre size.

nightmare5,

According to the same car speed estimator I mentioned above, the speed in 5th at 5,000rpm will be 193.88km/h. The limiter (usually ~180-190km/h) would be pretty much at those rev's!

6,500rpm in 5th is 252km/h

7,000rpm in 5th (if you have enough power & tarmac to get close to those rev's) is ~271km/h

J,

So you can confirm how accurate my Car Speed Calulator vs. your actual reading is I'll give you the CSC reading for 3,000rpm 4th gear - The CSC suggests that on 225/50/16's you "should" be doing 86.87km/h in 4th @ 3,000rpm.

Let me know what you get mate.

G'day JAY

I might wind the boost up a little cause it's dropping off at the top (see attached) due to the wastegate creeping open at high RPM's.....

More boost will probulary induce more wastegate creep and give same result.

Invest in a HKS electronic boost controller and wastegate actuator, it's one of the best mods to a stock turbo system to improve boost response and will help hold boost higher in the rev range. The only llimiting factor will be the turbo but it should be able to produce 13psi all day safley till redline.

I also agree there's more power to be had with a leaner setting in the top end but this way she'll be safe from detonation.

Cheers

Nick

Yeah good call mate I have lost the plot haven't I :D Doh! I have drag on the brain. Of course aerodynamic drag will not change the result of diff, g'box & tyre size speed calculation. I dunno' what I was thinking about there?

Drag will however make it harder for a car to reach it potential maximum top speed.

More boost will probulary induce more wastegate creep and give same result.

Invest in a HKS electronic boost controller and wastegate actuator,

Yeah, I think your right there.

I was thinking about upgrading the wastegate to a 13psi one (if they come in that rating), but I think you have to pull the turbo out to replace the actualtor :D A bit of a pain in the butt for a small improvement :)

Do you think a EBC (without using a upgraded actuator) would help reduce the boost drop off ?

    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
