Based on my experience, having to use 2nd gear on the dyno in an auto always makes the boost look spikey. You really need to use engine rpm instead of road speed when dynoing an auto. That at least removes the torque converter slip from the equation. The same set up in a manual in 4th gear would give a 1 psi spike which no one would be concerned about.

My suggestions would be;

1. Turn up the boost, that turbo has plenty left in it. Around 22 psi is more like it. You have the bottom end to use it.

2. If you are still getting a 3 psi boost spike at 22 psi I would be looking for another boost controller. We use the PFC Boost Control Kit with plenty of success.

3. A set of 256 Tomei Poncams would be next on my list. An adjustable exhaust camshaft pulley is not necessary, based on our experience the Poncams are timed perfectly out of the box.

That and the extra boost should see you comfortably over 300 rwkw.

:laugh: Cheers :D

it could be a mechical auto box (VLT style) or it could be the stock box and he doesn't care about the changability of the gears and smoothness. It's covered quite cleary in the FAQ re: PowerFC and auto

yea yea.. bla bla..

just because the faq sheet says bla bla..

not being a nasty..

but i have never heard you say that you have actually been in a auto 33 with

a power fc in it.

have you?

the standard 33 trans drives exactly the same as it did with the standard ecu.

anyone that owns a auto 33 im more then happy to prove it works perfectly..

but i bet you cant prove that it dosent work....

obviously over 300 kws the trans will eventually need a rebuild with stronger clutches etc

but for $2500 for the full works and jerks racing trans upgrade including high stall converter

yes you are correct i have never been in an auto r33. but thats not the point. the point is the nissans have code for the auto box in the ECU and the powerfc does not have any autologic present so it wont back off timing on gearchanges. this would have to results in different operation to that of standard

i think my plumb back, blitz bov was also bypassing at high boost so i have replaced it with another one

i had laying around, and i was able to drop the ebc duty cycle down 15 % and still make the same boost.

may have had something to do with it.

im heading back to the dyno in about an hour so i will try again with the new bov and see if it levels the boost out a bit.

1.5 bar ya reckon Gary..

that will get my missus to the shops in a real hurry... :laugh:

i just got back from the dyno..

as you can see from 18 psi to 23 psi it dosent make much more power.

is this due to the ehaust housing being to small.

the leaking bov that i fixed earlier today helped but didnt solve the problem.

im now making the same power today with the ebc set at 18psi then i was making

yesterday with it set at 21 psi..

should i get the ehaust housing machined out a bit to slow the compressor wheel down and increase flow?

What spec exactly is the turbo?

thats going to help a lot so the turbo tech people can get into it and see what the front and the rear are doing :D

the GCG tag states GT3071R-SP

the Garret tag states GT2835R - 56T

700382-20

its a single turbo 300zx ehaust housing with internal gate

made into the above specs.

i hope this helps

ive seen people run autos on the dyno in D with overdrive off (so basically 3rd gear).

Anyway well done on power level. Have you taken to the drag strip?

not as yet...

adelaide international raceway is in all sorts of trouble at the moment.

i think the next street meet isnt until sep or oct

I've read of other people installing GT3071Rs (in the US) on their cars, and talk about them having an anti-surge compressor cover?! I could be completely wrong, but that compressor cover isn't, is it??

For risk of sounding "ricey" but does this turbo have a particularly "whistly" induction noise when it comes on boost?

ahh not really

it sucks like a pig thru the k&n pod filter but i wouldnt say it wistles

Are there any side affects from using the power fc on an auto??many people say they dont run like factory e.g wont kick down gears etc etc, ive been looking around at engine management for a while (i have a r32 gtst auto) and have read that "no" aftermarket ecu (including the greddy e-manage & e-manage ultimate) can cope with the factory auto ecu as it cuts ignition timing when changing gears!so my only real option is chipping the ecu or getting a safc, which im not really to keen on using!Yours is the only auto ive heard of using a power fc without any problems so some help would be much a appreciated, cheers :P

"Yours is the only auto ive heard of using a power fc without any problems"

have you heard of someone trying it and it didnt work?

there a lot of people in the world that fill everyones head with bullshit!

but they all drive manuals.

i dont own a 32 auto so i cant comment, but the 33 auto works exactly the same as

it did before i changed ecu.

at the end of the day what have you got to loose.

buy one plug it in, if it works fine then get it tuned and enjoy.

if it dosent work put it back in the box and sell it as brand new.

and get your money back..

there are heaps of guys on here that will buy it from you.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
