Hi Guys

I'm getting a tune with Toshi shortly(replace ecu , dyno & road test) and installing a high flow turbo and transmission cooler so I can up the boost and push around 200rwkw

As it stands however this is my setup , just BPU

1997 Skyline R33 GTS25T AUTO

Straight through 3'inch from turbo back

Pod filter

Blitz turnflow cooler

HDI Boost controller

stock turbo (running at 12psi)

Splitfire coilpacks

Automatic box

What do you reckon I'm doing now at the wheels? (150 -160 rwkw?)

Ps: Just asking for a power figure, please keep the "put it on a dyno , skylines autos are slow etc... to yourself

Cheers :)

150rwkws now

170rwkw with ECU, tune and a T

Highflow turbo will need injectors and fuelpump.

Will net 240 to 250rwkw

Oh, only 170rwkw @ about 12psi with tune?

Toshi mentioned 200-220 rwkw max after ecu replacement,fuel pump and tune and also said it would not be wise to go above that , even with a high flow turbo as the auto box will not be able to handle it (it is also my daily driver , so not looking for a "dyno queen" or anything , just a responsive cruiser).

Did not think the auto skyline was capable of netting 240 to 250rwkw

It is - If you have supporting mods.

Remember Injectors, Fuel Pump, Nistune with what you already have.

Check the Hypergear thread.

Auto - I'm pulling 245rwkws on a highlow (GCG 2871) now out of puff. I expect Transmission safe up to 280-300kws.

I have a 34 GTT with Neo motor.

Was 170rwkws stock with FMIC, Exhaust + 7psi

thanks. Certainly not 100 , thinking about 150. Was just a bit curious . Cheers

Point of my post was, it's a moot question that you ask.

We don't know your engine or what power feels like to you, so it could be making any amount of power between those numbers based on what every other untuned R33 has ever made on a dyno. It could be down on compression, it could run inefficiently or restrictive, or it could be well kept and healthy. Too many variables at hand.

People can guess all they like, but no one knows, so playing "guess the kw of this setup" is so pointless that people even make fun competitions out of it at dyno days and the guesses are always all over the place. Therefore any figures or feelings you take from people who have never even driven your car are irrelevant. Did you know that a car tuned precisely on a dyno may produce 5rwkw more or less on the same dyno 5 minutes later? Now imagine how varied the guesses are when we don't have a dyno...

I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but I think you are trying to emotionally side step the hard fact that only a dyno will help you with your question. If you don't care about dyno queen figures, any figures shouldn't really matter anyway - only the seat of the pants feeling or measured acceleration difference that you are chasing. Thus, my recommendations are to choose modifications that are known to increase midrange pull, and forget all about the numbers, as the only time power figures are relevant is when showing the difference between tunes on the same dyno...and even then...variance.

    • Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
