I currently have a gst4 32 mods are re-maped ECU, r33 FMIC, Z32 airflow meter, 3" exhaust with custom dump pipe, r34 neo turbo, gtr injectors, walbro fuel pump, and running 15psi

i just had the car tunned with all the following mods on a 2 wheel drive dyno so all power coming to rear wheels only the car pushed out 177kw i am thinking this power out put is resonably low considering i have seen cars with less mods produce more power am i taking my car to the wrong tuner i wont name names.

The question you have to ask yourself is does it go well/better in your opinion - butt dyno .

A lot of people fall in love with a target power number and can't sleep at night if it doesn't materialise . If the thing goes well enough in your opinion who cares what the number is .

It seems you are into easy upgrades which is the practical economic approach but there is the chance you may have undershot and overshot with a couple of things possibly .

The turbo you have is from an R34 GTt and from memory they crank out ~ 206 Kw , the SMIC came from a 184 Kw R33 RB25DET . The things both versions of the RB25 have are obviously the extra 500ccs and larger bores/ports/valves .

The R34 versions sometimes use a larger sized turbine housing than the 33s and they get away with it through things like more sophisticated engine management and VCT and slightly different std cam profiles .

There is a chance you have the larger turbine housing , which incidentally was originally designed for the low boost pressure Z32 VG30DET engine , on your R34 turbo and its only a LOT bigger than your original RB20 turbos turbine housing .

I reckon if the slightly larger than RB20 RB25's turbine housing helps the R33 crank out 184 Kw its possibly a better option for an RB20 than the largest VG30/RB25 Neo's turbine housing . Should give you a bit more low to mid range and not lose anything up to possibly 200 Kw .

As for the SMIC the R34 GTts one is a bit taller and deeper through than the R33s one and if it was possible to fit one reasonably easily into an R32 GTST its what I'd do .

Food for thought , cheers A .

For reference, I had my GTS4 on a 2WD dyno, basically stock apart from a slightly bigger turbo still running stock boost - 145kW.

Also, the figure you get out of a dyno will vary depending on how the dyno was calibrated, and how recently it was calibrated. Take it to another dyno, and you may well get a different figure. And it will vary with the prevailing weather conditions - you may not get as much power on a dry 35C day as you will on a damp 25C day.

many years ago when i had mine.. the last dyno it had was at 197rwkw.

had a hiflowed R33 turbo, chipped ecu, front mount with diy piping, 3" exhaust, no cat, 1bar boost, std afm. once i put the turbo on it made a massive difference to power ouput even before the chipped ecu went in.

oh yeah the car had 220,000kms on it when i sold it :(

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.

      Thank you for this my turbo doesn’t have the nipple so I’ll get one installed in the turbo to Intercooler piping. I’ll get everything I need and locate it all using the information you both gave and get back with an update.

      Please do not connect it to your manifold. If you do, as GTS suggested please record the lot in 4K with good mics attached.   On the factory Skyline, there's a upside down pipe that allows it to breathe, looks like this

      For me I'd need some serious justification for why it has blown out.  Have you questioned him on it?  To be honest if you didn't question him right from the get-go on the first invoice that was already way over the initial quote and then you've (presumably) then paid another $1375 on top of the first invoice, then you're pushing shit uphill to get a favourable result now... It was years ago I last got an engineer out but it was around $450-$550 per visit.  That was just to inspect each progress point he gave me for the project.  Is he just doing progress inspections or is he providing engineering diagrams, technical assistance, etc??  If he's not, he's a filthy rip off merchant.  If the $3100 is the final sign off then you need to cop it on the chin, pay it and move on.  If it's not, piss him off and get a new one.  Not many Jeeps I'd value at $10K full stop let alone just engineering fees on a written off, half actual value WOVR Jeep....
