Nope, can't use 3rd because it will kick down to 2nd at low rpm and big throttle openings.

Aside from giving inconsistent readings, that's rather dangerous as well.

Auto's are nearly always done in 2nd gear for that reason.

It's an auto anyway, so there is no such thing as 1 to 1 in any gear.

The torque converter won't lock up under full power, so there is always "slip".

:O cheers :(

fair call. when I had an auto S14 years ago,I did my dyno runs with the shifter in D,with the OD off,and had a graph that went through both gears.

the S2 stags don't have this problem,as they can be put into the tiptronic mode,and do the whole run in 3rd,regardless of load,it won't kick down. that's how my 154kw atw graph above was done. in third,in tiptronic mode.

As i have stated previously in this thread i had my car dynoed today!

And well all i can say is i am very very happy with the outcome, i have got the print outs from the day which i will post up tommorow cause i dont have time right now and a pic from it.

Anyway it made 162 at all 4 wheels :) very very happy as i was only expecting around 115-120.

So im stoked

on stock boost? 7psi you made 162awkw?

with the same mods as you bar the sitc (which doesnt really do anything on its own anyway) and i had a fuel pump, i made 140awkw on 7psi and then 160awkw on 13psi.

BTW, the 040 is an easy fit into the stagea because of its craddle design, its a good pump to use in them.

Alex: i have the sitc but its not fitted, the only mods that were on the car yesterday when it was dynoed were: Full exhaust, FMIC and Hi-Flow.

The print outs said the car was on 13psi at peak power however i do not have a boost controller *confused*

As in, your sig says

1997 Stagea RS4

Mods: BOS SS Split Dump/Front Pipe, BOS SS High Flow Cat, Fujitsubo Cat Back, ARC Crossflow Cooler Kit, Z32 AFM, Apexi Panel Filter, Apexi SITC.

I dont see anywhere where it says TURBO UPGRADE...

Of all the mods I did, the turbo was the only one I really felt and you leaving it out made me doubt the 160awkw.

Putting a bigger exhaust on will raise the stock boost level due to a change in pressure or something like that...

On a stock S13 Silvia turbo I put a full turbo-back 3" exhaust on and the boost went from 6psi to 10.5psi.

On a stock S13 Silvia turbo I put a full turbo-back 3" exhaust on and the boost went from 6psi to 10.5psi.

My exhaust is 3" turbo back on both my cars, and both have the standard stock boost of 7/8psi.

Little surprised bout your results simon, l thought you may get more than that due to the turbo, as l've got a few less mods than u and got 150.4 on that dyno.

Only thing l can think is that the SAFC2 makes a big difference!!!

SAFC does make a big difference.

See, me and simon are compensating for tune by just flowing more air via the high flow (higher... flow...:P)

A stock turbo is good for ~180-190awkw in stageas so with a proper tune it really gets up there.

Put it this way. I could make 200awkw+ with only the following engine mods. R34 GTT cooler, GCG high flow, full exhaust, SAFC and SITC. Thats all.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
