Dissapointing dyno results... your thoughts?
Alright guys, got my car tuned by tony @ T1 Racing here in dallas tx, he's supposed to be really good with hondas and tuning but i am dissapointed in my numbers. ill list my mods and you guys tell me if im about right on the power or need some more tuning.
S14 SR Crower rods Weisco forged pistons bored .020 over. HKS cams, step 2 (264 i think?) rebuilt head GT2871R stock intake and exhaust manifold Hybrid IC Apexi intake Z32 MAF 740cc injectors walbro 255 fuel pump Apexi 3 in exhaust Greddy elbow and down pipe megan test pipe Tuned with Apexi power FC So at 1.3 BAR she made 363 whp and 353 tq What do you guys think? I was hoping for at least 380, maby closer to 400. My next few things are going to be UR crank pulley, tubular exhaust manifold which should put me alot closer or maby over 400 whp. But maby i just need to get it tuned a bit better? I do live in tx and the air here is hotter and thinner, so that may play a part but shit, i am dissapointed. let me know what your opinions are, and any maby running a similar setup? whatcha think?

Get a AEM Standalone, I bet you would make way more power with the set up that system makes. You should upgrade your intake and exhaust manifolds for better flowing air. Maybe applify your ignition system,

The majority of the people I see running the GT28 setup are pushing somewhere in the ballpark of 350-375whp. Is there a reason you're still using the stock intake manifold?
So...you're telling us you're not satisfied with 363whp/353tq? Do you seriously need anymore in a S14? You're where I'll hopefully be a year from now. GL with the rest of your build.

was this on a dyno jet?
either way thats right where you should be actually maybe less, thats a great number for your setup. if your car really had that much hp you would be complaining about needing to drive around are larger tires possibly aired down. If you replace the intake manifold, take it to a nissan tuner you should be able to hit 400. .86 is capable of 420 whp (on a shitty fucking dynojet). You might only have 256 step 1 cams, how is it that you dont know what cams you have...thats kind of wierd. post the graph up!

ill get the dyno posted as soon as i can. Manifolds are to come but need to do more suspension/safety mods first. ive got an oil cooler on the way, and catch tank. I'm thinking about re-locating the air filter down into the area right in front of the driver tire fender well. looks like alot of good airflow down there, plus colder air, im just worried about sucking up water..... will address that later.
Tops* Yes i love the power i'm making, shouldnt need more right? well theres no such thing as too much power hahaha, you'll see, once you complete your setup and drive it for a little while, you'll be thirsty for more Slimcat- yes the AR is .64 so i guess im about right on. What about the whole pully thing? what kind of gains can i expect to see on this setup? thanks for the input guys

what are you trying to do with the car?
You should be tuning for power band not complaining about peak numbers if your drifting. If you want to drag race the thing go 3076r with nitrous or gt35r +n20. if you want to street race go 3071R with N20.

mostly track and some drift. not worried about drag nor street race. I just thought that after spending all that money i'd see closer to 400 but maby not, im not unhappy with my car, just a little dissapointed, maby i needed to do more research first.
obviously powerband was what i was going for, and quick spool thats why i decided on the 2871R. it does spool really fast and feels pretty linear as well. Which should i do first, intake or exhaust manifold.

I think the power looks correct... Especially torque...
It's a stock SR with larger pistons... no cams, valvetrain, or manifolds... We expect our margin of error to be anywhere from 10-20% from comparing so many different dynos, operators, and dyno technicians/calibrators... Post up the graph when you have it...

even still I think this is right on. If he had a standalone tuned on a brake eddy dyno, with race gas hed be on his way to 400+ whp oh and greddy IM. if your dissapointed wait until you strap it to a dynodynamics. I twould probably only show up at like 315whp\ If you just want big numbers get a gt35 R and 272 cams. nice peaky, big numbers, you can do 400whp at 15psi

yeah - usually cams and intake manifold are good for at least 50heeps... you already have cams (or some sorta cam change thing happenin there) so u can expect somthin from a intake mani.

intake/exhaust manifold should help a lot..
The numbers sound pretty good to me for teh setup.. but if interested in another tune: since your also in dallas.. go check out GS Tuner: http://www.gstuner.us/ Guys awesome, took my car to him b/c I couldnt get it running.. Top notch stuff. And I really dont like Alamo in Arlington, but Ive heard they can pull some crazy numbers out of their ass tuning cars. They had a s14 w/a rb25 stock engine and turbo, they made 400+whp. my 2 1/2 cents.. |

Greddy IM. Would be nice, but there are only 1 or 2 of us with that power on the .64 yet (that have posted per say)...I think he'd be right there with us. Um, who are you? Bigger turbo? Pfft. Have you ever driven a properly setup 'small turbo' sr before? Don't hate on it till you have, as I'm confident you'd be pleasently surprized.

You would have had the numbers you wanted on a bigger turbine ar housing, but it's still a very fun car to drive right? |

On the cams thing, the only reason i am not 100% sure is because i bought the head built already. So the guy i bought it from, who i do trust, said they were HKS 264's. valvetrain was re-built but not beef'd up.
Codyace- thanks for the nice breakdown and answering all my questions... Didnt quite get this quote though "Intake only. Keep the stocker. Ideal gas law is your friend." does that mean keep the stock exhaust manifold and get the greddy Intake manifold. From what ive researched the exhaust manifold will do little for power but imporove throttle response and reduce lag. correct? and what is the "ideal gas law"? ............ cant wait to beat up on some vettes though, your right about that. Definitely dont want a 'bigger turbo' i am extremely satisfied with the power i'm making, again i just thought the numbers would be a bit higher but i guess not, seems like about all of you say i'm right on so i'm happy. its like one of my friends said, its just a number, not like its any slower! S86d- the A/f on my greddy gauge reads 8:1 @ full throttle, and stays around 11:1 under normal conditions, when i get the dyno graph ill know a more accrate readout....... and yes, it is a HELL of a lot of fun to drive

back o topictho. 360/350 is a great setup man very square hp/torque car must be a blast to drive. a buddy of mine just put down 397 and 310torque.
id honestly be happier with your setup much more rounded. and he has a few parts you dont. id assume yours would have a lil more umph as you have more torque than he does. just my 2 cents. congrats on the numbers tho.

Rx7's also rev higher than most Sr's which means you have a longer power band to play with if you keep the motor in low gears.

Mine made 400/330 with an a/f of 11.7ish at WOT. .64 housing for life. Fantastically fun. Instant low end fun, no waiting for power, nothing. It's literally like driving a V8 car. The only thing in my experience to have better instant response (this side of a bike @ rpm) is my buddies Turbo 331 mustang...but then again, it's got an itty bitty t66 on the 5.3/5.4 hehe. Quote:
Exactly! Who cares about numbers, as long as it's fun and quick
