Hi fellas,

I started this topic to see what kind of results some guys are getting on an engine dyno around the 600hp+ mark. In particular, actual engine torque values and rpm it is achieved (instead of measured by rolling road dyno).

So, anyone tuning on an engine dyno and have some torque figures to share; nothing specific, RB26, RB26, RB30... sorry if this topic is conflicting with the dyno result thread but it it more specific to engine dyno.

Thanks,

Mike

I have only ever heard of maybe two RBs being tuned on engine dynos, one RB25 making ~1400hp and one RB26 making ~1700hp - probably not too helpful for this topic, most people aiming for "only" 600ish are content with a rolling road or hub dyno :)

600hp+.... they can post it in here!

I know BoostdR had some results, I can't find it however. It was an RB30 with twin -10s that made good strong power.

I don't know of any tuners or engine builders here who have an engine dyno - the only ones I have seen are in a Polytech and one in a place doing research on fuels - which is not to say that there aren't some somewhere. I have seen a video of an Aussie speed shop somewhere that has one.

There are a few in Adelaide; most would not go to the trouble of an engine dyno but IMO it is the best way to tune and run in an engine prior to fitting it to the car. Also the only way to get a true reading of torque (and engine power).

There is one up our way, costs by the time you wire it all up etc are a bit steep, we were thinking to do the run in and basic tune on it and makes life simpler if you want to inspect the engine internally or work on it, in our case we are still unsure if its the right thing for us.

Maybe. maybe not.....

Yeah mine was done in Adelaide prior to me buying it.

2.8l with turbonetics GTK850 25psi on 98 with 10% meth-- 760hp & 780nm @ 5500rpm from memory.

Will try and find the sheet.

Thanks Richard, I will have a look for BoostdR's result somewhere on the forum today too.

To keep my own thread going, here are the results from BoostdR:

      Timing map only tells part of the story, I've seen a few cars where the CAS has been adjusted so you might see 12 at the ECU but at the motor you could be seeing 8 kind of thing. A S15 I converted from PowerFC to Nistune had just that, CAS was turned back to have less timing than the ignition map itself lol... "Choonered".

      But your running 1.6 bar of boost, is it still 12 degrees of timing at 1.6 bar of boost? Also, is there e85 fuel at the petrol stations in Dubai?

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)
