Got the car dynoed on a different dyno yesterday afternoon - no changes just a modern dyno dynamics dyno in shootout mode.

The 341.9 horsepower - in kw is 255rwkw - sounds much better than the 275 rwhp figure from the other dyno.

Interestingly the AFR's were reading differently between the units - the original tune was done with a motec and the tuner was tuning to afr's around 12.8 - 13.1 which I thought was lean - yesterday with the autronic lambda unit it was reading rich at 10.9 - 11.3 at full load.

We tried pulling a bit of fuel out but it lost power, then tried putting 1 degree of timing in - too much knock, then tried pulling out a degree of timing out and lost 20 hp.

The motec unit must read lean as at cruise with the o2 sensor switched on it was reading about 15.8, whereas the Autronic was reading 14.7 which is about right.

We didn't muck around with it - I just wanted to do a few power runs to get a dyno readout from a different dyno.

10 kw less thasn you sly 33 - I don't have a catch can though and have the stock airbox with k&n flat panel filter.

Cheers!

whats the torque figure...?

this still sounds weird...

I cant believe there isnt a tuner in Queensland who cant tune your car.Give it to someone who knows what they are doing and find that lost 100hp.

GTTR34,just get a T04Z and dont stuff around,lol

who needs a to4z when u can get the same power out of a 2835pro s ......

If its making the power its making the torque.

You can't have one without the other. :)

Please ignore rolling road torque figures as simple things like tyre pressure, gear ratio's, diff ratio's, tyre size/diameter and the dyno its self all make a difference.

For example....

On the dyno I run on an RB25 making 300rwkw makes around 390nm of torque, an rb30det making 300rwkw makes 540nm. Obviously the rb30 is making the power earlier in the rev range hence its higher torque, the rb30 is also running a slightly shorter diff (4.363:1 vs the rb25's 4.11:1) which again bumps torque up slightly.

But here's an interesting comparison. my rb30det when it was making 176rwkw was making the same peak torque as the rb25 makign 300rwkw, being 390nm. Obviously I made the 176rwkw rather early in the rev range in order to achieve such a torque figure.

So... essentially.. You cannot compare dyno torque figures UNLESS you have the exact same tyre size, exact same gear ratios, exact same diff ratio and both run on the exact same dyno!

The torque curve is good when tuning as you can see easily how afr's and ign. send the torque up or down at that particular rpm point.

If it makes more torque at a particular rpm running slightly rich with more ign. timing then thats obviously optimal. Leaner doesn't always mean more torque.

Looking at 254rwkw Jarrett performance dyno graph the afr's and ign. timing definitely need to be cleaned up in order to smooth out the torque curve.

Its much nicer to drive a car where the torque comes on and continues to pull rather than come on then fade off a little then rush back on.

i agree but u can help tidy up there figures for more power but torque does give u an indication of where the power is like u just pointed out with your rb25 and rb30 story....

and your right about the rb30det it comes down to the tune.. the rb30det would be great for track since it has great torque but head for head it would be shit house but it made peak power early in the rev range so there's no point reving it out... comes down to what u want it for ..

cheers

The RB30's hold power to 7000rpm+ providing you run a nice exhaust manifold, cams and turbo suitable to flow the airflow required.

You do the same to the rb30 as you would to a rb25 if you wanted the 25 holding power to 8000rpm+. As you know... a larger motors flows more air at a lower rpm.

Realistically 6-6.5k is plenty, if you require more road speed per gear its best to tweak the diff ratio than simply pushing the rpm up higher.

Remember turbo's LOVE load. :)

well if the turbo can flow yes its true it will hold in an rb30 but it has has to come to a point to make PEAK POWER......what the point of reving it to 7000rpm when peak power is made at 6500rpm thats what im saying....

When I say hold power I am talking about holding power after peak power has been made. Holding VE up at high rpm.

Stock exhaust manifold = power nosing over quickly after peak power.

A nice aftermarket manifold = power holding up for another 500-1000rpm before it begins to slowly drop off to a point where there is no point reving the motor any harder due to a lesser average power when selecting the next gear.

Its almost always beneficial to 'over rev' a motor (well the rb's anyhow) as it results in a higher average power.

Higher average power accelerates a car quicker. :D

Off topic from an off topic. :)

Yes don't worry guys the car will be getting a retune from someone different probably in Brisbane. When I first installed the turbo kit before the tune it came on a LOT harder with next to no knock.

I've run it down the quarter and after four passes I got a best of 12.89 - each run we leaned it out more and more as it's running rich as. I couldn't do any more runs as it was a competition event. Lots of wheel spin in first, sec and third, crappy 1 sec reaction time and stinking hot with track temps in the high fortys. And I'm a crap driver.

Yes it certainly is a higglty pigglty dyno curve - not very smooth but by the end of it all I'd had enough of spending money on it. It's still bloody fast - you can't do much on the street as you just go too fast.

Interestingly the tuner was making the car run leaner in some parts of the rev range and richer in others - towards the top end he leaned it out - but once on the other dyno with autronic other lambda sensor it turned out it was running very rich. I think his sensor was on the way out or something as I've had two other lambda sensors on it since and they've read the same. About 14.7 on cruise.

    • Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days
    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
