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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
