NF,

Yeah the thread I posted didn't really say anything definite, and a lot of crap was posted, but I just thought I'd post it to show dynos read a little differently around the world.

I also reckon the real power figures are in the quarter times. As long as the driving is consistent.

Cheers,

Michael

DYNO's ARE FOR TUNING!

There is no real point in comparing different dyno readings between cars on different dynos. Unless you are a bit bored.

If you are tuning your car , going back to the SAME dyno makes alot of sense.

The 1/4 mile is a sport and not a very strict indicator of power, there are even more variables than comparing dyno results. ie: if you don't get the right equipment to play the sport you may not do too well. Like playing golf with a hockey stick.

I guess asking for peoples dyno results with a similar car setup will give you a range, which if your car fits between can give you some peice of mind that nothing is terribly wrong.

What does doing a dyno run in a lower gear do to your figures? I assume the torque will read higher because there is more of a mechanical advantage, and the power will read lower because the engine is physically doing less work to get the extra torque.

Does anyone know roughly how much I should adjust the figures if the dyno run was done in 3rd instead of 4th? Assuming factory R33 GTS-t gearbox ratios (I don't know what the ratios are).

164rwkw from a R33 with 11psi, no other mods.

Seems way too high to me.  Perhaps its just blue cars make extra power.

Yeah right - blue cars !! he he

I reckon the extra Kilowatts came from the energy permiating from the two good lookin blokes in the back seat at the time of the run....:D:)

Seriously, with your sticky tyres and the extra weight in the back, I reckon there was less slip against the Dyno hence the better results. :cool::) (that sound like BS to me actually.)

Duncan , last time I ran there - I got 150rwrw with std boost and a cat back zorst - so a few extra PSI could make the 13rwkw diff, maybe ???

It depends on how the dyno is callibrated and what gear the run was done in. What was your torque out of interest?

Hi Jim,

Done in 4th gear. Unfortunately, the graph only has Air/fuel and power on it. I'm sure they logged torque as well, but I don't have the figures.

I think Broken got the figures for all cars, he might be able to post them. While good traction would have helped (definately no wheelspin there!), I suspect its a friendly dyno....

I dyno'd my car yesterday also (with Broken and 25 other Skylines)

Specs:

'95 GTS-T

Cat Back 3" Exhaust

HKS Air Filter

FMIC

2 Stage boost controller

First time i've ever had it done (only had the car 9wks)

7psi = 169 rwkw

12psi = 192 rwkw

Not bad for a first run , I was extremely impressed.

All i need now is a CAI, Side windors Tinted, oil change and my driver side window fixed and i think i'll just throw fuel in her for the next 3-4mths while enjoying the ride.

      While doing my tailgate struts I found some rust. Also replaced my bonnet struts. Such a cool satisfaction with that job.

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      By PranK · Posted

      So I removed as much as I could from both sides. The shop vac did a great job of clearing 99% of it. I got it all as clean as I could and then absolutely drenched the whole lot in the rust converter. Tonight or tomorrow I'll hammer it again. The cavity must be close to 400mm in length and surprisingly I was able to get it right to the back.  I'll quickly reassemble and then pretend I never saw it. I'll post pics (for me to ignore later) soon.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for~?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate almost all modern cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.
