Hi,

I have an r33 gts-t with a hks gt2835 pro s and all supporting hardward, run by an apexi power fc

at the moment im making

320rwhp @ 12psi

and

337.7rwhp @ 16psi

now i am happy with my tune but not happy with the overall hp figure, ive done a search and found other people are making much more power with the same power and same mods.

my question will be is, im running a custom fmic and piping

now i know for a fact my piping has been cut and rewelded to fix my car, and the overall design of the piping looks average, also im using a china cooler. could this be casuing a flow issue and therefore giving me a lower power?

also i have a feeling that one section of the piping, may not be complete smooth on the inside possible causing turbulent flow

To see if the cooler is the problem.

Just measure the pressure before the I/C and then after it.

If there is a drop, then you have a problem :P

Would this have to be done on the dyno? and im guessing my tuner should have the tools to measure this?

thanks for the reply

id be interested to see the IGN and INJ maps

also afr on the dyno plot would have been helpful

is it possible to get a print out from my tuner of the IGN and INJ maps ? i have been meaning to get a printout with the afr, i may do that this week if it will help find out wat the possible problem could be

Yep, they should be able to do it without to much of a drama

hmm,

im getting abit worried about my result

the other day my mate how has a s2 r33 with a highflow turbo got 240kw @ 16/17psi and he had issues with the turbo itself (needs to be reported or something)

this is something like 10hp less than me :S and im pretty sure the 2835 is bigger than a highflow

Also,

i've been thinking about the issue with my I/C piping and Cheap Cooler.

the friction lose in the pipe itself could be causing an increase in the TOTAL HEAD, resulting in a drop in overall pressure. How great would the pressure drop need to be to affect power?

well i think it goes that if you are running 10psi and the guage and actuator read from the compressor outlet or before the intercooler and intercooler core causes a 3psi pressure drop then there will be 7psi pressure in the manifold past the intercooler, which means less "boost".

thanks for that info paul,

i think im going to have to look into this issue more, as i can see its the only issue why my power figure is lower

Was it the same mixturs at both boost levels?, I doubt it is the intercooler and piping, it would have to be pretty bad to lose that sort of power, i would be looking at the ign table, you could do a run on 12psi on the street, datalog the load cells, then do one at 16psi,look at how much timing has been removed to allow for the extra boost, should only be about 4deg, you can measure pressure drop in the intercooler system with a boost gauge, hook it up to the manifold and see how high it goes, then connect it to the compressor housing, should only see 1 psi difference. oh and its a bit rich, 12.2 should be fine for that power level.

There's nothing too wrong with the power you are making considering the boost run and the a/f ratio. I'm assuming stock cams?

Get cams, watch as the car spits out another 25-30rwkw at the same boost and should just scrape 300rwkw with a bit more boost.

Ive seen a stock cammed rb25 with 2835proS make 269rwkw with more boost and a bottle of octane booster, but the same car is only making 256 on 16psi and pump fuel. It also uses a china intercooler.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
