So this morning I had the skyline on the dyno.

Usual mods:

Hks2535 turbo

740cc injectors and walbro pump

Powerfc

All the expected bolt on mods for an average reasonably quick Skyline.

Running at about 17-18psi

Has been street tuned so I really wanted to know the power figure.

Disappointing to say the least, only 164kw atw

I have taken the car down the drag strip here in Townsville and have run times of 13.5 @ 111mph and my best of 13.3 @ 109 mph

Which I thought, while an average time, not a bad mph.

Thoughts?

Not sure what that means?

Was really hoping to crack 200kw but fell short of that by a long way.

Car is pretty damn quick for only 164kw though....

Well either the clutch is slipping, wheels spinning or the power dies off massively due to the tune

Edit: maybethe dyno operator has let the throttle off and let the power drop before ending the run.

I like to think of it as a really strong 164kw atw :)

Interesting enough, on another dyno

12psi is 180kw and on 14psi made 199kw atw.

You can see why I was really hoping to crack 200kw especially with a bit more boost.

Ahh the dissappointment.

Edit:

Actually just checked, 10psi made 180kw and 12psi it made 199kw.

6psi more boost and made less than what I started out at.

The evidence is there. Sometimes the answer is so simple you get confused thinking about it. I'll bet if you go back to the same dyno that showed a low figure and had someone that knows how to set it up correctly actually using it the results would be a whole lot better.

This may seem silly. But my car has a vtec controller, which I suspect is for the VCT. Car is using an rb20 ecu.

Its just set to max, didnt have enough time on the dyno to play around with it to see where it should have been set.

Anyone ever connected a vtec controller to their 25's?

I've made an identical turbocharger for the development of our SS1PU turbocharger last year. I've made 248rwkws it didn't produce much of a nice curve with noise dive after 6000RPMs. I believe the comp wheel is too small for a Rb25det, how ever would be a ok turbo for a Rb20det.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...

      Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.

      The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome

      The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.

      Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
