Hey people,

Anybody had there car tuned with 98ron? Had any problems with it?

mods to my car are:

3inch turbo back exhuast

avcr .8bar

fmic

bosch 044

pod/cai

Rebuilt & Reconditioned Engine (forged Piston, GTR Rods etc)

Just got pro to put in my PFC & tune it and currently the the car is making about 130rwkw (will confirm)! but he cant get anymore out of it! seems to be the fuel is shit!

so anyone had any problems?

Cheers

i take it you have a r33 as thats what your pic is. if so 130rwkw is pretty pore i would think even for an rb20 with thoes mods you should get more. maybe you need more boost. boost is your friend.

The best you could get is 130?? that is shit house.

I had my car tuned on 11psi by Dave Powell (before he left) on Pro Auto's dyno using 95RON and made 168rwkw.

I only have boost controller, fmic, SAFC II and a 3in turbo back.

More recently i made 152rwkw when Dr Drift came down and tuned my car but this was only because it was missing above that. More than likely my problem was my plugs being incorrectly gapped but due to time restraints I didn't have time to regap them so went for the safe 152rwkw tune. That was on 95RON too.

On 98RON I'd expect at least 170-190rwkw on about 12psi. Something is up with that result.

yer its a r33 with a rb25! yer it got 138rwkw on .7bar which is crap with all them mods! pro said run a few tanks of 95ron and come back and see it make a diff!

the crap thing about it was pro put it on the dyno with out touching it and its made 111rwkw which is a joke! so he managed to gain 27rwkw out of it!

i am going to get another power run done on another dyno to compare!

have a look at the dyno sheet & let me know

the blue is befour the pfc was tune & red is with pfc tuned

i must say after reading alot of people post of there power out put this would have to be the shitest one ever!

Cheers

Alan

27rwkw is a huge gain!

Puting ur car on another dyno ISN'T going to make ur car have more power...

Comparitivly, that dose seem quite low however. How dose it feel on the road? Do you get hammered by corolla's?? A full weight gts-t with 130rwkw would feel a little slugish...

I'd like to know what Andy said? hmm...

yer 27kw is a good gain! but when its makin 111rwkw its just crap!! the thing is how can i beat vy ss utes, wrx's etc if i had 111rwkw! i just find it hard to beleive that a 5000km old engine & all them mods make 138rwkw!

well the curve looks okay to me. Maybe the settings of the dyno are wrong and its just reading low. Settings like inlet temp and BP can effect the actual numbers.

If it feels fast thats all that really matters.

How much did he charge you just out of interest?

I'm looking to get a service and a re-tune for 98RON of my SAFC II and not sure where to take it since Dave has gone.

Well if u can do that. Then what dose it matter what a piece of paper says?

What did Andy say?

I'm happy my car runs 10's on street tyres more than it has a 393rwkw dyno sheet...

can i ask why you dont run more boost as surely the mods you have would suport 1bar (as much as the turbo)

just wondering why please dont shoot me.

and like xrated said if your happy with what it does peak HP isnt a consern.

He's got an R33. The recommended daily max is 12psi and from what others have posted on this forum the stock turbo doesn't flow any more air above this anyway so you're not getting bugger all power increase. What you do get from running 1 bar on the stock turbo is a time bomb.

Andy basically said its either the fuel or the or the ratio of my motor might be high! But we put it down to fuel! Cost me $495inl gst! I dont want to run 1bar im tryin to make it last for awhile! i know for a fact that its definitly not slow & doesnt fell like it has a 138rwkw. anyway im over it!

cheers

JDM engines are tuned from the factory for 98RON. Anyhow, just had mine dyno tuned this week with a tank of 98 - 146rwkw at 8psi rb20det with an r33 turbo and SAFC-2. So for an RB25DET thats a poor figure, but you know, its not all about max power.... I could easily get more out of mine but we felt even the slightest bit of detonation (as in, not audible by ear unless using the expensive tuning gear) was not worth it.

u up north or down south frigjam?

How much they charge you to get the SAFC II retuned?

South... All up I spent just over $500 in total for 2 occasions on the dyno, the car went in with a few problems, first the fuel pump was too weak, and then the TPS was playing up giving the ECU a wrong signal, rewired an R33 TPS in and that worked, also allowed the SAFC-2 to also work properly....

However any other car just with a SAFC-2 already wired in, ready to go, looking at 2 hours max on the dyno so $200 at the very most. To get any real benefit of the SAFC-2 you'll need some decent boost control (i use the AVC-R), and an adj fuel reg would also be handy.

Cheers

Paul.

Stock as a rock RB25DET is between 135-145rwkw.

My R33 ran 190 rwkw on 95 fuel with exhaust, FMIC, 12psi & Power FC ac ouple of yrs ago.

Had my R34 tuned late last yr with the same mods & fuel (NEOs are higher comp) & made 192rwkw.

Both done on Pro Auto's dyno.

So yeah, some thing not right with the dyno or the car.

sorry i miss read that he was running .7 bar which would be close to 12psi but i also said in brackets (what ever the turbo would take)

and i also said dont shoot me over it im JUST ASKING!!!!

no need to shout :P

I simply replied why he wouldn't go to 1 bar :sorcerer:

    • 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.
    • 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.
