Ricky Ricer's Rice Rice BABY!

Nice!!! When is full boost?

[Ricky Ricer]

High 4s, low 5s. It starts building earlier, but doesn't hit peak until that range.

On Monday, my GF and I woke up about 6AM, hoping to beat the snow. I looked outside and saw the roads were just wet. No big deal. The Skyline is no stranger to bad weather, but only is small spurts if I get caught in something. Come 7AM, we go to leave, and it's a **** show outside. It was dumping snow. WTF, I thought to myself. Weather in CO is so unpredictable. By the time we got to the highway it was almost like a white out. You could barely see the cars a 1/4 mile ahead. Not to mention cars coming down from the mountains were packed with snow. Every bump they hit sprayed my front end with rocks. It was one of the most horrific driving experiences I've had with the car. My front end has some new chips I'm not too happy about.



By the time we were getting close to the dyno, the roads were clearing up. It was still sprinkling snow, but no where near as bad as in Denver. Got the car on the dyno and went into tuning.

Baseline for the day put down about 390WHP. Every pull seemed to pick up about 20WHP. We set the boost controller to 18PSI, and that was all we were going to try for the day. The day ended with a highest WHP of 473. I'm quite happy with the results. It will spin the tires in first gear :stafiseiz .

Here's a link to one of the pulls:
Low Boost on the R33 GT-R

While we were there my GF bought an AccessPort for her 2011 STI. Baseline put down around 218WHP, and with the stage one map she gained about 20 WHP, and a ridiculous amount of torque. I think it was around 275WTQ.

Yikes! Nasty weather, still waiting for the roads to clear up and be patched up here - the pothole annual slalom is in full swing, this is the worst year I have seen. Nice dyno results! Don't think I'll have mine back together for a few weeks yet.

[Full-Race]

Very nice numbers.

"these waves are caused by the diffs" what does that mean I have never heard of that before ? And no straps holding the front of the car down wow that's dangerous.

That E85 is very is very interesting I'm looking forward to it coming up north here.

It's caused by the transfer of torque front to rear and vice versa from the ATTESSA. The car was strapped down in the front. You can't see it in the video.

Iv had my car on 3 AWD dynoes and never has the dyno chart been so unstable, regardless of the power transfer from front to back the AWD dyno is made to account for that and corect it. Unless you have serious issues with your transfeer case but even then you would know. I think its how the tuner has tuned your car that gives it thosewaves and thats not neccesarily a good thing. Was it his first RB26 on E85 ?

Might be just me but I would be concerned if that was my car.

[Ricky Ricer]

My tuner said all GTRs do this on his dyno, even the new ones. If it were so wavy I would feel it on the street. It is a smooth pull all the way to redline. Ive known the tuner since I was 16, and I trust him completely.

[Ricky Ricer]

Lost fuel pressure while driving and couldn't build it back up. From my tests, the Nismo fuel pump failed, with less than 500 miles on it.

[GTRADDICT]

lol that sucks man! time for a refund!

[cschepp]

Holy shitt man that sucks. I would be calling them up and telling them they can not only replace my pump but they can also pay for my flatbed!

[Ricky Ricer]

It's RHDJapan. I bet they tell me to pound sand.

[Chihuts]

Wow. very clean and i'm not sure if it's the camera effect but it's got it's own sound not your typical rb26 growl. Always a unique touch. Could be different in person though

[Ricky Ricer]

Well, got her running. Did the direct feed to the fuel pump from the battery. Not as daunting of a task as I first thought it would be.
