First apologies for those on dialup :)

Ive just had a PFC fitted to my R34 GT-T

Yes, I know they are done on 2 different dynos, but "Seat of the pants" wise there is a noticeable difference. I am getting it red dynoed on the one that did the origional one for an accurate comparison though.

Mods are

-FMIC

-Pod filter

-3" exhaust, turbo back

-E-Boost

-Coilpacks

-PFC

(PFC and coil packs were after the first Dyno results.)

Pic below is the before dyno.

Boost was about 9psi.

Note the horrible hole in the power curve. This seemed to be where the stock computer was bitcching about too much boost.

Now we have the after result.

The Blue line is 15psi, the red line is 9psi (same as the origional dyno).

About 4300rpm you can see the boost just drop away if Im running at 15psi.

I would assume that the turbo is too small to flow enougth air after about 4300 to maintain boost?

Any Cost effective suggestions?

One thing that I noticed is how crappy the stock computer is at maintaining a good air /fuel ratio.

Just look at this before PFC dyno.

Now compare the after result.

Is my before result typical for a stock computer?

Yes the standard ecu is like that. Some are different to other model's - 95mld is know as a freak ecu as it can get upto 200rwkw's with the right components with it. Other carn't.

Other wise you've made a nice gain over stock, the only limiting factor now is your turbo. Thats the reason why it droped off at 15psi as the efficency of the hairdryer ran out at high rpm.

Next thing i'd do would be the fuel pump. Then after that look at injectors & turbo.

Ummm just a question...

How do the differing AT and IT figures play into the comparability of the readings?

I noticed that the after PFC readings have both temperatures being about 15-20 degrees higher than the initial reading. I read on another thread that the dyno computer adjusts the reading to standardise the figure based on the intake temps. So in theory, since the intake temp is higher in the second one, the reading is an overestimate when comparing with the first dyno run?

Can someone confirm please?

All dyno's are different,

You will get different reading's on any day due to air temps, calibration of dyno. You can make a 200hp car read 500hp if you really wanted to.

The best way is to stick to one dyno to see what your car gains over stock which is what Bill is going to do. ;)

You maths is very bad! lol 34-24=10 (degrees difference) not 15-20...

Yes the higher IT would make a difference but 34IT on a 24 degree day is not such a stretch. How much of a difference is beyond me.

Hi guys, both dynos are in Shoot Out Mode, so the power outputs should be totally comparable. That's why Dyno Dynamics "invented" shoot out mode" so the numbers are comparable no matter what temperature the day is, or the humidity or the altitude. The higher inlet temp on the second dyno run would result in a real world lower power output, so SOM compensates. Thus the 157 rwkw (before PFC) is totally comparable with the 204 rwkw (after PFC).

Whether the 157 or the 204 are perfectly accurate is a totally different question:cheers:

mmmgtir:

Sorry for the confusion. I was actually comparing the AT for the AT, and IT for IT, before and afters.

Before PFC AT = 11

After PFC AT = 24

Difference = 13

Before PFC IT = 15

After PFC IT = 34

Difference = 19

So technically i should have said 13-19 but i just rounded to nice figures of 15-20 instead.

 

Next thing i'd do would be the fuel pump. Then after that look at injectors & turbo.

 

:P

Im a little curious as to why the fuel pump next?

Is there anything to indicate that the pump cant handle the load now?

ahh. I see! Sorry, I'm just used to looking at ATvsIT. :rofl:

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
