ok I just had my r33 gtst tuned with a few nice new bits like a new turbo, dump pipe, AFM, injectors and fuel pump, FMIC etc

ran it on 1bar and noticed the packs we dodgy but still got 260 out of it from 175 at 0.7bar on the previous setup. I dont pay too much attention of the dyno result but I got a gain of about ~90kwatw which I was happy with. I just wacked in the spitfires and will run it up tomorrow.

of course this is max power..my aim was good avg. power and some good low down torque - havn't got the graph but will run it again tomorrow.

do you think I should leave it or should I tune it for a bit less? I assume that if I don't ever really hammer it too much to 1bar - i.e. half throttle most of the time then it wont really cause me too many dramas. I actually only aimed for about 220...

Just intrested in some feedback and thinking about traction issues as my new wheels havn't arrived form Japan yet....

Can never have too much :happy:

By 260 are you talking kw? With what you mentioned & because you are over east that's what I'm guessing, which is pretty close to what I have/had. My car just seems to run perfect, almost as if I have traction control!! The only wheelspin is just before redline in first or second, it didn't take long for the tyres on there to be worn but I put on some toyo t1-r's & they were great.

yeah 260rwkw with doge packs. I have been focusing on the low to mid range as I'm not intrested in high end power as I don't take it to the max often. I will get all the exact details and the plots tomorrow when I head down after work. then u guys can have more info.

I told them to tune it the best the can for the moment...

What you need to consider is what you are setting the car up for, Drift, Drag or Curcit.

With that much power I wouldnt go anymore because your car is going to be a bitch to drive on the street, Altho some ppl like that :happy:

Also have you maxed out the turbo? Maybe you should look at some lumpy cams and do some head work then bump up the boost.

this is just for street use until I get the bug to do some track work...I will need to do some more work on the setup before then.

I'm not really intrested in more power. I think I have enough..I was actually considering lowering it but I will drive it first and see how it goes.

ok.

well I havn't got all the details of my turbo yet cos the guy who did it wasn't there when I picked up the car. I will have the full sepcs on monday. However is has a stock housing with a BB xx turbine plus some bigger inlets/outlets lol I'm not a guru on turbos - details to come.

Initially I was aiming for about 220 atw but when all the following mods were on it pumped out a fair bit more. Also I picked it up late so the dyno results will be posted when the some1 there gets a working printer! hehe

The first dyno run output 275kw and around 440nm of torque which was impressive. However at about 4500 the emange wasn't coping and there is a flat spot...but picks up again after 5000. Tried to smooth it out but essentailly the emanage couldn't do the job so power FC here we come..the dyno reuslts were intresting - sorry for no pics.

De-tuned it to about 250 to smooth out the response...the torque was great up to the 4500-5000 mark where the emanage screws around...generally it runs like a rocket!

anyway list of mods:

Custom turbo upgrade (lol details to follow)

Bosh fuel pump

VG30 AF meter

Apexi front pipe

cat back exhaust incl 730CFM cat + HKS muffler

600x300x76 FMIC

Emanage - when u see the dyno you will see it needs ot go!

Boost controller - just a manual bleed valve which shows it need to be replaced

Spitfires

Injectors - need the specs but I think they are 550cc?? sounds right or is this std.

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
