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:

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.

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:

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Isn't there a fitting on the back of the balance tube? That's what the OEM boost gauge uses.

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
