Sam tuner, dyno etc etc

the motor is a "young" stagea 25 that was attached to an auto all it's life vs a very old skyline 25

Will post when I get to my computer

NEO's have a touch higher compression and better flowing cams/head which might be a better explanation for less boost, less timing and more power :)

How you can do a proper temp correction on a turbo car is beyond me?:whistling: It's not just a linear equation concerting the amount of O2 (like for a nasp) but complex shit involving intercooler efficiency and all sorts.

I wish peeps would just quote power at the wheels - on the day - and not the jiggery pokery of corrected this and that.:thumbsup:

it just makes things a bit more consistent.

if you turn off all corrections, the car will make a minimally lower power figure but as it is displaying raw load on the hubs the numbers do drop slightly as after a few runs you develop a bit of heat soak in the engine bay. the temp probe picks this up and makes small adjustments to the numbers to keep everything more equal. it makes it easier to see if its what you just changed in the map that changed the power/torque or just the heat soak dropping it. its just a tuning aid.

i've said this a thousand times but numbers are numbers. in my experience hubs and rollers are very close, if anything mainlines read noticeably lower. who cares. its the quality of tune and how it drives that matters.

to be on topic a stock rb25 will take a lot, but it has to be treated with respect. good maintenance, safe tune, no limiter bashing and minimal rpm to achieve your goal. reving it to 8k will kill it quick smart.

Its from a s1 stag, so non neo :)

18 psi is achieved by ~3200 now :D

More power will wear an engine faster than the standard power, that's fairly normal. You're working outside the tolerances of what the engine was originally designed for, even if it was over-engineered in the first place.

extra power wouldnt have something to do with this freezing winter air could it ;)

i know the intake temps on my mazda have been 15 degrees lower than normal all this week, right now its on 34 2 weeks ago it was 56, its a big difference

Yeah that could be true but Joey mentioned that it made the power with less timing and less boost, so I'd rule out colder temps being the reason.

It's true that it was cold... 13c while we were tuning to be precise...

But the dyno has a correction for that and adjusts accordingly. Also 2 psi Is too much of a difference to be attributed to cold as the comparison tune was only done at around 20c anyway

yeah I may be wrong here but I beleive a dyno corrects for air temp, it doesnt dorrect for air density which is where you would get the extra power.. iE 18psi of dense air could be equal, or possibly better than 20psi of thin air

Add to that better compression, = less blowby pushing more exhaust gas giving you better spool times . Also better bearings and oil pump creating less engine drag. i also believe you are using a different oil now as well, what oil did you tune it on, the castrol edge or something else?

As i said ,it all contributes

Old motor had nothing in catchcan and all piping was dry when we pulled it down.

Oil used for the tune was 10w60 as opposed to the old tune that was on 10w40 so of anything it would rob power.

Also re air temp.... My car has not been noticeably different in differing temps. Although many are?

must decent dynos correct for most air conditions, i know our does full weather station not just temps..

Ok , i wasnt sure on that..but still doesnt answer the question why did it make better power?

Also do you think if you could dyno exactly the same car on the same dyno on a cold day and a hot day, correction would give you the same result?

I run a 252rwkw daily.. I've got a GT-RS sitting on 14psi, same as joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo I've got nothing in the catch can, motor is 103xxx kms.

Will be seeing how much more I can get out of it (18-ish psi) in a few months :thumbsup:

As people say it depends how you drive it, honestly driving it to work/shops I'd be surprised if I'd ever utilise more than 5k RPM, probably only ever puts out 140rwkw max :)

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
