Well as the title says i got my car on the dyno after suspecting it wasnt running as hard as it should....mods are as follows:

S13 RB20DET

Full 3" Exhaust

Nippon Denso f/pump

POD

FMIC

~11psi

what can i say, power is no where near what it should be! after only just keeping up with a ca18det sil i knew something was up.

Mechanic says all 6 coil packs are failing at once hence the power drop...

he says it should keep climbing to about 140 - 150kw once i get them replaced...

just thought id share it with you ppl, all comments welcome

my god... didn't you hear the aweful popping?!

there is no popping thats the thing, i could only feel that big dip so i knew it had to be something...

Whats with the big arse dip? dud coils would have had your car missing all the way to redline, i wouldn't have expected power to pick back up again that high in the rev range.

i also thought that if it were the coils it would be missing all through the rev range, i must admit it isnt a very smooth curve so then it leads me to think maybe it is the coils playing up??? i dunno, i dont wanna fork out $600 odd just to find out its something else... but the mechanic says its the coils

anybody else think it might not be coils?

11psi I think you will see 130-140rwkw.

15psi with stock fueling see's around 155rwkw, sort out the fueling and you then see around 165rwkw. Replace the ecu and you will see just over 170rwkw.

Get an RB25 turbo and you should get close to 185rwkw.

I would have thought 15psi and the exhaust wheel ends up sitting in the cat...

when you say sort out the fueling what do you mean? injectors? i already got a fuel pump...could you please elaborate?

i plan on a remap and rb25 turbo later down the track....

  • 2 months later...

yeah, dont boost stock turbo too much, ceramic turbine will crap itself. it's ok on s13's which have steel turbines, but be careful with that ceramic sh1t

so, did u locate the problem before replacing your coil packs? or do u have some new coils u need to offload?

    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
