Hey, i put my r33 gtst on the dyno today to see what it does.

The only things done to the car are a pod filter and a 3" mandrel bent exaust and dump pipe, and a blitz bov.

Is 153.7kw (205.96hp) a good reading for these mods and stock internals? i was told 130kw was about average, so i was pretty impressed with the results.

I've seen a dead stock R33 make 130rwkw.

20rwkw from an exhaust is what my R32 picked up so I would say 20rwkw for yours is not out of the question.

130 + 20 is 150rwkw. :) So it appears to be around the mark.

Dyno's obviously vary so where one stock R33 may make 140rwkw may make 160rwkw with an exhaust. It gives you an idea.

Now what I would be looking forward to is upping boost to 11psi, fitting that powerfc and intercooler then cracking 190rwkw.

You could also fit an Adj. cam gear and nudge near 210rwkw. :D

11psi is nice and reliable. I wouldn'y look at running anymore, for what? another 10rwkw :)

It very well could be the straw that broke the camels back.

Any plans to do the above? :(

Yeah, the next engine mods were going to be a power fc and front mount. The air fuel ratio was really eratic, but i was told that can be faily common, and a new computer would fix it anyway. So i'm pretty keen.

Do you think its worth getting the hand controller?

I was looking at the hybrid intercooler kits, how do you rate them?

I'm going to take it to the drags in a couple of weeks to also see what the car can do before any major upgrades.

11 psi seems the go, but i could push it to 14psi before blowing up the turbo right? or is that just a little bit close to the edge?

The dyno run was done on Dyno Dynamics Dynamometer, which i was told is pretty accurate, but yeah they can vary a bit.

dyno readings are over rated most of the time. i put my stock line and mean stock and it pulled 141kw atrw and this was on a mildly warm day. The dyno was meant to be ok to so i was a bit wtf. but since then i have popped the full exhaust on K+n panel filter and about to fit a FMIC and bleed valve and push her up to about 10 - 11psi pending dyno results eg if their is much difference between the two. so yea 150 sounds good for those mods but make sure the dyno is setup correctly

yeah i think that was just about right... my 95 gtst was 160rwkw on 8psi and only mods then was front mount intercooler and 4' cat back exhause and hks pod filter. ( as far as i know )

but that was 7 months ago...now the car has a fair few mods..right now it has the 3 dump pipe,.high flowed cat and nismo air filter.

and the rest are about to go in 2 weeks just waiting for my wastegate to arrive.

T70 turbo with custom manifold

044 fuel pump with 550cc injectors

wolf 3d V4 computer

and a set of cams

hopefully my clutch holds though once everything's installed...but i was thinking of waiting till i get new clutch before i install all of them as my clutch is starting to slip.

so yeah... i am getting there...and hopefully the next time i take her to the dyno., i see a little bit over 200rwkw..i'd be happy.

    • Photo of manifold showing gate location? I mean, it's 6Boost, so we probably shouldn't be worrying, but always wroth knowing what the layout is. Plumbed back to atmosphere? Or into the dump?
    • Yes correct. Also, I'd avoid applying it to soft paint (however I doubt you'll ever have to deal with it in practice). So any paint that hasn't fully hardened, could be a 1k paint that never fully hardened or it could be a 2k paint that was laid down thick and hasn't yet fully hardened. 
    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
