I reckon you'll need full engine management to get up to the 190-200rwkw mark (non shootout mode that is). To get that kind of power without major mods to the engine, you'll need to push the turbo hard. I've only got 177rwkw with most of the mods below, but I'm just using a SAFC and a bleeder.

So you'd probably need something like the following:

Big FMIC

14psi using an EBC

Full exhaust

Power FC (or other full computer)

CAI with a pod filter, or a really good panel filter which may not be possible with a FMIC)

possibly an adjustable ex cam gear - although I feel it hurt my bottom end too much.

Feel free to correct me anyone :P

Also make sure you go to a good tuner. If you can't quite meet your kilowatt target, don't push it too hard. You'll be hard pressed to notice the difference between 195rwkw and 200rwkw. I'd take a safe 195rwkw engine over a 200rwkw hand grenade engine with really lean AF ratios.

Hi.....

With the following mods.

- APEXI S-AFC

- Electronic Boost Controller (set to .8 bar)

- HKS CAT Back Exhaust

- Pod Filter

My car recently dynoed 188rwKw (this was in shootout mode though).............

The S-AFC I purchased for $400 from someone on this forum and the boost controller I got for $200 on EBAY.

My next upgrade will be the rest of the exhaust.....

Before I had the boost controller installed I had the car dynoed and in non shootout mode acheived 147rwKW running standard boost....though it should be noted that the day was stinking hot - 40 degrees which didn't help....

I've only had the boost controller for a few weeks but normally just drive around with the boost set to standard.

Im not sure of the difference between standard and shootout mode but im guessing their is a small difference.

Anyhow in shootout mode:

191rwkw

12psi

FMIC

HKS Pod Filter

Cat-back 3" Exhaust

Std Turbo

Std ECU

98 Octane Optimax

203rwkw (36c heat)- (186rwkw @ 7psi)

12psi

FMIC

HKS Pod Filter

3" Full Exhaust

Std Turbo

Std ECU

98 OCtane Optimax

New oil

Not bad but im confident i can get it up to 210rwkw with the Std Turbo + ECU.

With the recent SAU dyno day in melbourne there were a few R33 at around 180rwkw and above and that was a pretty hot and humid day.

Mine pushed 183 (and wasn't running too great), inasnt: 185, and I think it was west (who's car is currently for sale btw) pushed 190 at the rear wheels - all with standard turbos.

Its quite achieveable, and bolt on a bigger turbo and you be able to get upwards of 230rwkw without touching the insides.

Shootout mode is meant to be used to compare figures between cars. It locks the roller ramp rate, and it can't be modified at all, so you can be sure that any car measured with it can have its power accurately compared with any other one tested with it.

Now, from what I've heard, it adds around 10% to what you would normally get on a properly set up dyno, so 203kw really is around 184kw (A damn good result considering you've got a stock ECU, benm). That said, you can't really just take off the 10% extra to compare with people run in non-shootout mode, as this opens you up to differences in how the non-shootout mode dyno was set up.

So, if you want to compare figures use shootout mode, but be aware that the figures are inflated.

Cheers,

Michael

The car came with a Micks Metalcrafts 'bar n plate' FMIC which i have been told has quite a thick core (Not sure on the exact measurements I had them here somewhere but lost the info).

Didn't touch the AFM

2 Stage boost controller, can't remember the brand.

Not sure when 12psi comes on but 1 of the 'Unigroup' guys on the forums here said in 4th gear on the dyno I was making 6psi @ 2,200rpm. I have no idea if thats good or bad.

Ben.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
