for the last 6 months ive had a 2535 on my series 1 rb25 running 15psi and putting out 231kw.

the car is punchy and makes full boost by 3200rpm but i want it to feel more aggressive and come on boost more rapidly and maybe earlier. (it feels like a vtec, very safe tune)

I think these are my options:

*bigger 550cc injectors and run a more aggresive tune

*exhaust cam gear

*split dump pipe

does anyone else have any ideas how i can make my car more aggressive out of the corners?

I'm a sook, i cant handle any lag

Hahah 2535 Lag?

I loved the 2535 on my RB25, it hauled ass!

I don't know about yours but mine came on boost very suddenly and sharply!

I had EBC, Split dump, FMIC and SAFC-II :P

ps I would go for the split dump - while running stock dump with my 2535 it was woeful! - Best $$$ spent was on Split dump

Seems to be a recurring theme with the rb20 and rb25, this lag problem.

With how cheap turbos and exhaust manifolds are getting nowadays, I wonder if a twin turbo kit could be mass produced with two tiny turbos to virtually eliminate all lag.

Just a thought.

3inch turbo back exhaust, split dump setup

aftermarket engine management (powerfc)

injectors wont help at all

a pair of tomei cam's

a good cold air intake

make sure you dont have a big stupid 800x400 FMIC

ive already tuned the first 8X8 cells in a very similar fashion, it made a difference to economy and the transition between off-boost and coming on.

that table u have displayed paulr33 looks like the stock ignition table??

will an exhaust cam gear make the mid range much more punchy???

Edited by reflex

well if you've done the ign timing then theres probably not a great deal more you can do. i dont think cam gears will give you 2 tenths of fark all. yeah i posted the stock ign table to see if you were still running that (some tuners don't touch the low area).

wind that boost up!!!!! you wont even have time to look at the tacho if you wind about 17 - 18psi into the 2535... the difference on mine was amazing from 14 psi to 18psi....

The power was very smooth and progressive before but now you can feel a strong surge of power then BANG!!! she pulls and pulls!! i love it!

if your in my area, ill take you for a spin if you like or if your at then next vic event??

If your wastegate was opening at idle, would explain why you're disappointed with power output!

My suggestion, after reading that comment, is to take ur ride to a mechanic and get it fully inspected, to make sure everything is running right. No use flogging a dead horse.

a good way to see if thats the case or not is to

unplug the actuator line and do a dyno run (be sure to watch boost) and immediately back off when target boost is reached, cos you will be in unlimited boost mode.

then do another dyno run with the actuator connected again like normal and let it run. then overlay the two dyno runs plotting only boost and see if they are the same. if they arent then the actuator is leaking or opening too early

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
