These are the specs:

R32 RB20DET 82000Kms

Stock Internals

Stock Turbo

3"Turbo back exhaust/Screamer

POD

EBC runing 12 psi

FMIC

It did 170rwkw @ 1.1 bar at Boostworx

Is it woth getting a remap? what would the benefits be on my setup?.

I am planning to get a turbo in the near future along with injectors

and a fuel pump, but untill then...

Any comment would be appreciated

Cheers

it really depends on how the car is running at the moment, and how long till you are doing the upgrades. if they are only a month or 2 away, just wait till they go on to do the remap. also if the afr's aren't too bad then a remap won't gain you as much power as if it was rich as hell.

Well Dr Drift is coming to adelaide tomorrow he said I can remap it tomorrow and then when he comes back in a months time he would remap it again to suit the extra mods, and all I have to pay would be the Dyno time.

oh, and btw, i love your idea of "almost stock".. ha ha.. you've got to be kidding right?

Well, if you think about it is quite stock, nothing major done to it just the usual mods :ermm:

no mate..

99.% of the cars on the road have "the usual mods" - whic is NOTHING

stock = out of the factory

when you are making 50% more power than a stock car and are running at almost twice the standard boost level, you have well passed the meaning of "pretty stock" buddy. plus you are running a screamer which is illegal. stock cars are legal.

Very worth it...you get better fuel economy, more torque, more power and the peace of mind that its not leaning out...i've got the same mods and i got sam aka to remap it too...best bang for buck imo...

I wouldn't run the stock ceramic turbo at 1.1 bar though for obvious reasons though...

Thanks guys, some say do it some say wait uhmmm.

Hey limpus how many kw did you gain with just the remap and the mods you had?

oh btw the 1.1 bar was a one off for the dyno, however I am very tempted to run that on a daily basis. :rofl:

Dr Drift charges $330 for the remap and $180 per hour of dyno time to fine tune!

I had it done to mine and gained around 3rwkw BUT it was detonating it's head off! It did however gain 20kw throughout the rev range, I had speed cut removed, rev limiter lifted a little and it was a completly different car to drive.

If you live near your tuner, it is good thing to get done, if you don't and plan on doing future mods then you should really consider your options!

I live in Tas and had it done during a Dr Drift visit. I am looking at getting it done again after I install my AFM and injectors and luckily he plans to come back down. would be a different story if I had to venture up to melb!

Make your own mind up!

Peak power increased by about 10-15rwkw...but more power across the entire rev range...its all about the area under the curve...btw...i'd recommend getting a fuel pump asap...not for power but more as a support mod...you definitely don't want the car leaning out...even if you're running only 12psi...

10-15kw is not too bad, I suppose I was expecting less than that, but I decided that I am going to wait until DrDrift next visit next month, to do everything at the same time, and yes I will definatelly be buying a fuel pump asap,

Funny thing is that even at 1.1bar made 170kw and the AFR were fine, so at only 12 psi i should be fine.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      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

      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.
