Hey guys,

I finally got around to getting my car tuned after spending lots of time and money to get it all right but there is always something that isnt right! The guys at Unique autosport said that my turbos r no good and that the wastegate is not opening properly and because of that i dont get full boost till 5500rpm! Kinda like a t04z at the lower end but half of it at the top! Even tho my mechanic reckons they were brand new r34 n1's. Looks like im going to be chasing him down to get some new turbos!! grrr.

PowerFC

Greddy prefc b spec 2

ACL forged pistons, rings and bearings

n1 oil and water pump

Full turbo back exhaust

Apexi pods

Nismo pump

r34n1turbos

stock everything else

253.3 kw with a safe 11.5:1 AFR.

I have on my car

Heres my dyno graph, what do u guys think? turbo problem for sure?? A safe 11.5:1 AFR.

Seems reasonable at 15psi ?

I produced 292rwkw at 18psi with aftermarket HKS turbos and stock internals with all the other minor mods similer to yours

If thats what UAS say, i'd believe them.

Its not like they are a donkey workshop that gives bad advice from what ive seen :)

Power is spot on what you should expect, just need to fix the response. So from a power perspective i'd be very very pleased. So all it not lost :)

You just need to address the gate issue, it could be lazy actuator or similar whjch is a minor problem to solve

EDIT: you have R34 N1's? I think i mis-read... if so, then response is still a problem, and 18-20psi will net you around 300rwkw

Ok this looks most likely to be a turbo problem. however you could mak a little more power with a 12.3:1 Af ratio. This is a question of taste but i like a car with a 12.3 Af ratio on full bosst cuz there is more power to be had ( not big gains but a little better). and i think youd be benefitting more from some tomai poncams 260 duration and a 9.15mm lift with some head work done. if i can remember correctly arnt the N1 turbo's supposed to be a little more responsive than what the is putting out. If its the wastegats that are malfunctioning try finding a reaplacement actuator for it. do you have some injectors fitted, if you dont id say its time for some bigger ones and run 17-19 psi of boost on the N1 turbos. dude you drive a GTR live like you drive it ( read: drive with all the power you can get)

PS if youre tired of response times and dont want to invest much in gain, just shoot some 50HP worth of nitrous whe raing works like a charm

Yeah the top end power isnt too bad but they reckon i am still robbed maybe 10-15kw top end and massively in response. I will see what the problem is with the gate, unique reckon my actuators r fine though. A sticky wastegate?

Also i think he did a run bit leaner at one stage at 14.5psi and it hit about 260rwkw. I am still using 440cc injectors at the moment. Hopefully once i fix up this problem i will get some cam gears as well. The head has been polished when it was rebuilt. And r34N1 turbos r meant to be way more responsive hence i am questioning whether they are n1's or not or just the wastegate is somehow stuffed.

And thus the fun of modifying a car begins :)

You gotta find out what the problem is now. Did you check the numbers on the turbos before installation?

Im sure John and the guys can work it out

Well you see i have been going to my mechanic for a while now and i probably trusted him too much. He got them off another workshop and he reckons they are the real deal. But i think i have been had so im going to hassle him out on monday!

Well ben and Tim at unique all reckon they arent the right turbos. And i believe em too..

HHMMMMM,

My brother's GTR tuned with nismo n1s by matthew spry has i would say an identical power curve to yours. GTRs are laggy, they feel crisp because of their multiple throttle bodies. I dont know how the car drives, but from your dyno graph, everything looks perfect apart from maybe lack on some top end power, but maybe the extra top end on my bros gtr is due to cam gears (set for more overlap).

GTR running nismo n1s, 550cc injectors and 18 psi. Dyno was pits before recalibration. But compare power curve and youll see its very similar.

Hmmmm interesting.. it is very similar. However from what everyone tells me my turbos shouldnt be that laggy and it just doesnt feel that good to drive when i only get fun after 5000rpm.

i wonder what the first 10x10 cells of the IGN and INJ map look like?

are you able to post them up, just by writing them down by pen ?

Im still in the stage of trying to learn how to use the pfc. How do i view that??

Anything before the R34 N1's are "average" and would give response like above.

If they are true R34 N1's, then you definately have a problem.

Until you find out what turbos they actually are, people cant really help without guessing

Well i got my turbos checked out and they are apparently r34n1's. And my mechanic reckons there are to different size r34n1's? Like the housing size. is this true?? He said I have the bigger ones. But also he said I have stock dump pipes still which may cause the extra lag? Would a set of good split dumps help??

Thanks guys

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
