Ben @ UAS is brilliant with Power FC tuning. I'd recommend him for that.

are you crazy?

all good, just found this on paul's site Rule of thumb for Air Flow meters RWKW & Engine BHP ------ ---- OD ---- RWKW ---- RWKW ---- BHP ------ BHP No of AFM's ---- ------- 1 -------- 2 -------- 1 -------- 2 RB26 ------ 65 ------ 149 ------ 299 ------ 271 ------ 474 RB20/25 --- 80 ------ 226 ------ 453 ------ 376 ------ 683 Z32 ------- 80 ------ 255 ------ 511 ------ 415 ------ 763 Q45 ------- 90 ------ 302 ------ 605 ------ 479 ------ 890 http://members.dodo.com.au/paul/docs/discu...%20to%20use.txt

Hi guys, what is the highest power the stock r32 GTR afm's can support?

I recommend Carlos at Incar Motorsport Wetherill Park for installing the stuff, and Ken from the same place for tuning.

Yep. But you can't damage your car the way you did by going backwards. If you initially hit the wall when you were reversing your front quater panel would be damged from the middle of the wheel well. Not just the bit between the light and the wheel well.

she was reversing... but then she went forward because she thought that she'd hit her dad's car.... On the way tiny distance back up the driveway she drove into the wall.

To get 200rwkW on my s2 R33 I needed 1. Power FC 2. Front mount intercooler 3. Boost controller -> 14psi 4. Full exhaust 5. higher flowing fuel pump 6. Sard FPR This was with the stock turbo. Which is now sitting in the garage and is fine. Little to no shaft play. Prior to this I was running 11psi, and everything except the powerfc, new pump, and fpr. Without the powerfc these were my experiences with just extra boost, front mount and full exhaust: 1. The car had a massive flat spot due to the stock computer giving the car too much fuel. 2. It only made 184rwkW. 3. Power down low in the rev range was not affected. ie. It didn't feel any faster at 3000rpm. 4. Around tight corners the car was a bitch to drive because the car would fall into the 3000-4000rpm rev range, right where the stock computer would rich and retard (ie. dip in power). After this the car would then regain power. It felt like shit. As soon as I got the powerfc, fuel pump, and fpr the car was totally different to drive. Extra power EVERYWHERE. The dip at 3000-4000rpm was also gone. Everyday driving felt better as the car would respond so much quicker. With the powerfc you'll gain ~20-30rwkW throughout the whole rev range. The only reason I needed the fuel pump and the fpr to make the 200rwkW is because the car was leaning out at the top end due to the stock injectors not being up to the task for 200rwkW. Prior to the FPR I needed to run the injectors at 95% (not good), after increasing the pressure with the fpr I could run the injectors at 80%. If you're only going to run 10psi you won't need the FPR (might need a new fuel pump though depending on how your current one is holding up). You'll get maybe high 180rwkW. Not 200. But you'll feel the difference. It'll be like a totally new car to drive

*makes angry noises* you picking on my girlfriend... aye! AYE!@#!!! let's take this outside. :lol:

that stinkin tiny pipe controls your turbo's wastegate. It's important.

true... What if you're running higher than 14psi? Say 16psi like I am. I've been on a few dyno's that don't plot boost pressure. Although, hmmm...I never really look at my boost gauge anyway. I always check my ebc. It has a peak hold function so it holds the highest boots reached in psi for a few seconds. The only time I've used the gauge was to make sure the ebc was reading correctly when I was tuning the ebc to use an external gate on the dyno.

btw... I'm making 274kW at the rears now with the stock bottom end on 16psi, and the bottom end is perfectly safe. EDIT: just so there's no confusion. This is NOT with the stock turbo.

I can tell you I've never used the high/low setting of my boost controller. It stays on high.

whoops, lol. what paul said.

When I was running 14psi on my stock turbo I also wasn't always flooring it everywhere.... So it was @ 14psi maybe 60% of the time. Remember your right foot is a good boost controller. I gave it a squirt more often than not though .

When I had 200rwkW with my 1997 R33 s2 I had a full exhaust, front mount intercooler, walbro fuel pump, sard fuel pressure regulator, ebc, and an Apexi Power FC. I had to run 14psi on the stock turbo to get that. Ran that for a year with no issues. I still have the old turbo in the garage, and there's very little shaft play, so it's still good. Engine compression check was done recently too, 145psi on all cylinders except 6 which was 143psi (which is normal). You won't get 200rwkW with an SAFC and 10psi. My 200rwkW graph is in red. Boost controller used is a Greddy Profec B spec 2. Note how quickly it brought full boost on, and how flat it held it. This was a very light tune too. Ben from UAS believed he could get ~10rwkW more in the top end if he increased the timing. But then the engine would be being pushed more than I wanted it to.

I think the exhaust housing on the R34 GTT turbo is bigger. Same as VG30 or something. I read something about it in Abobob's thread. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=95854

To monitor boost more accurately. Yep, it does. I can't for the life of me tell where 14psi is on it. No. But on the dyno I do. Don't look at it on the road.

veilside looks like ass. But hey, if you like that crap. Then go for it

Mine's there... Also removed my ashtray, and made an alluminium plate to mount my ebc right in the centre of the hole that was left when I took my ashtray out. Pics are a bit crap, were taken with my phone.

silv's had issues with his chip. Also, regarding something that was mentioned earlier. I was under the impression that the Power FC contained the factory cold start maps..... Hence why it's plug and play. I know with mine there was no cold start tuning involved. It's not like the microtech's where people are constantly having issues with getting the cold start tuned in correctly.

Hey, that looks like my old one did. :lol: copy cat!

You can't just go with one person in each car to this thing...

bwa and I will be there. Not sure who's skyline we're taking yet. Preferably the one that uses less fuel. But I'm sure bwa will say to take the faster one... :\

My car's running fine... :lol: I hit the rev limiter by accident ...that and my wastegate opened.
