I had my r32 GTR on 2 Dyno's

At croydon at all 4 wheels it had 139kw

At Unique Auto Sports it had 178kw at the rear wheels at 11psi boost (same as @ croydon)

At Unique Auto Sports it had 208kw at the rear wheels at 14psi boost

The only other mods the car has is exhaust and BOV.

So at Croydon, where it made 139 awkw you were also running 11 psi boost? 40 kw seems like a big difference even taking into account the difference between 2 and 4 wd. Did you quiz them at all?

Yeah I had 11psi boost at Croydon. I had only recently got my car so I was unsure of figures. They told me that was a fairly normal awdkw figure for a GTR. I thought it was a bit low thats why I had the car checked at Unique.

This is really interesting. Prior to purchase I had my car dynoed at an independent 4 W dyno shop here in Canberra and it pulled 180 awkw. Yesterday at Silverwater Auto Services who apparently pride themselves on the accuracy of their dyno it pulled 130 awkw.

I know dynos aren't dynos but given that both runs were on the same boost, about 9 psi, this presents me with a bit of a dilemma because I don't know if there is a problem or not; 50 kW is a hell of a big drop although I note that it's about the same as the increase you experienced going from four-wheel to two wheel dynos. I really don't think it it was in 2wd mode the first time but it must've been.

Did the guys at Unique say anything about whether they felt that power readings there were fairly typical of what your car should be producing?

does your car feel like it has lost a shitload of power since u have had it??

coz im oretty sure u would feel that sort of power loss?

Bretto;

No I didn't notice, I agree that I should / would have. But I suspect that the dyno here is optimistic.

Good news is that the problem has been found by the guys working on it. Would you believe the throttle wasn't opening all the way?! Checking for power loss Rule 1: Is the throttle opening fully? I guess neither they nor I believed that it could be the case but...there you go. Latest reading is 168 AWKW at Silverwater on standard boost ie .7 bar and with an exhaust. Doesn't explain the difference in inital readings, but I'm happy to put that down to an optimistic dyno here.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

i thought the figure was about 140 awkw standard. My r32 GTR started with about that figure then i added a power FC and full 3inch exhaust and got it tuned, gave me 180 awkw then i fit an AVCR, HKS filters and screwed it to 1bar boost and it gave me 210 awkw. I also read that GTR's pull 140 awkw in standard form in an issue of Hi Performance Imports.

    • In the US the EPA has been going after shops that sold aftermarket ECU tuning software that allowed you to disable CELs for things like EGR, DPF, SCR, or TWC failure. They also went after shops for selling emissions delete equipment. Their logic is that all cars built for street use have this emissions equipment and you cannot do an after the fact conversion to an off-road vehicle not intended for street use. Cobb, Hondata, and similar companies have basically all revised their tuning software such that going forward you cannot suppress DTCs for emissions-critical systems, nor can you toggle systems on and off in the tune like EGR. You also cannot adjust OBD emissions monitoring logic. You can still tune these cars. But you have to do things the hard way, basically. For example Subaru FA20DITs used to delete the TGV system to get spare analog IO for a flex fuel sensor. EGR also has to be dramatically pared back because without the TGVs the stock EGR map causes bad misfires. Now instead they have to implement the flex fuel system as a CAN bus sensor instead. IMO, this is heavy-handed but the EPA in the US gave so much leeway for so long and the aftermarket relentlessly abused that leeway to the point that they could actually see the effects of all these emissions-deleted work trucks on their air quality monitoring for cities that haven't met Clean Air Act standards. It's one thing to have a few people deleting emissions on their weekend car that spends 9 months out of the year on jack stands. It's another thing entirely for entire fleets of tradies driving around 8 hours a day on deleted diesels that emit 1000x the emissions per mile of a compliant vehicle.
    • Hmmm. that's a tough one. There's a lot of history bundled up in that lot. Perhaps instead we can create a new pinned thread, called "Legacy Pinned Threads" and provide links to the these ones that will be unpinned in there. And maybe put the names of the pinned threads that are linked inside in the tags so they can seen from the outside? Or something like? I mean, it's half a step back towards having a more complicated forum structure, without actually having it. But there's a reason that heirarchical architectures exist. They are logical, and if executed properly, make it easy to find something without having any upfront knowledge of where it would be , and without using a search function.
    • Can we unpin a bunch of dead / irrelevant threads from: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/forum/8-engines-forced-induction/ New players at home will scroll and think this forum is dead.
    • It's all about selling non-compliant emmisions stuff, and things like tuning stuff that makes your car have more emmisions, a very small percentage of modifications and tuning go into race cars, the vast majority of tuning and mods, like catless exhausts, or non-compliant cats, go into street cars with registration  Like a gun shop can only sell to someone with a gun licence, if they don't, they are fined and even jailed, and whilst a gun is totally different to a tune, or a catless exhaust, they are still illegal for a street car As for customers, it easy, they send a letter and tell them to show up for an inspection, like if someone says your car is to loud now, if they don't show up for the test, they can cancel rego, just like not paying a traffic fine This has been happening for years overseas in other countries  I'm in no way happy about it, but, I think there is definitely writing on the wall for modern cars with emissions standards, which will effect tuning shops, parts suppliers and end users And like other countries around the world, it is the government's that makes the rules and regulations for street cars with rego What would happen to a tuner or workshop if they were investigated about turning off stuff in a ECU IRT emmisions stuff like engine check lights for cats, or removing cats, or putting in a lower cell cat, this is apparently all illegal IAW modifications to registered cars, or, retuning the car so that with even stock emmision stuff still installed, but due to the tuning, or parts, like bigger cam shafts, it will now not pass the emmisions test Yes, I am going into a rabbit hole, but going off what other countries are doing IRT everything related to emmisions........cars, trucks, manufacturing, mining, modified vehicles are a easy target Meh, time will tell how it goes either way
