MODS are:

Stock boost controller solenoid grounding (disable dual stack boost)

600 x 300 x 76 Hybrid copy cooler

Apexi air filter (no CAI)

(2.5 or 3)inch SS front/dump pipe with split from Batmble

3.5inch Apexi CATBACK (Stock CAT)

Excedy heavy duty clutch

Recently rebuilt stock Diff

Stock turbo, ECU, injectors, fuel pump

No internals

Here is the result

Looking at the AFR apparently the its meant to drop to 12 under load, so its leaning abit. Only by 1pt so I dont think its too dangerous... I can still give it the odd thrashing but I prob will be too scared too.

I reckon the fuel pump is being maxed out coz injectors should be able to handle it and i can't think of nething else. What are ur thoughts ppl?

A special thanx also to RAY from RE customs, he is seriously a top bloke. The most trustworthy mechanic I have ever known... and ive known alot.

P.S. forgot to mention that boost reached 8.5psi (stock boost controller and actuator)

1 AFR is a lot...

In my opinion that is far to lean and seriously risking detonation with even a slight batch of bad fuel or a hot day/hard thrash.

I would suggest that the person that tuned your car doesn't really care about it blowing up unless he is not really sure what he's doing because that is seriously lean. I would almost bet that a few laps on the track and it would be the end.

If you buy a power fc or at least buy a safc that will have the problem solved :D

Actually, if you want to do it on the cheap, you might even get away with a fuel pressure reg as that will add fuel everywhere which is what you need.

MODS: Please edit post if I have written something inappropriate.

Thats pretty amazing, I have almost the same power mods (no FMIC) on a GTT and am only getting 165.

I dont know whether this is true but an AFR of 13 might be a little dangerous, I think 1 point is actually quite a difference.

Great result anyways dude

Yeah methinks the number is not realistic but that's not important. If that is right it is running way too lean and death is only around the corner.

I would expect the AFR's to get gradually leaner if the fuel pump was no good but they are like that right the way across.

What colour is your exhaust? Is it grey or black? If grey try to describe the shade.

if you look at how much it is leaning out, i could say that thats about right.

i got 204kw out of the same mods but with 11psi. straight after i went on my mate went on with his 33. same mods, same dyno operator and he got 175kw. some cars just make more than others.

Thats an impressive power output for such little mods... my completely stock R33 with only a full exhaust and split dump got 165rw/kw (7psi).. ill be putting a FMIC, 10psi and PFC + tune at the end of the year... i hope I hit 200+rw/kw

you have to ask how it is running so lean with the stock ecu and no piggyback... my tip would be dying fuel pump

What he said.

Do your pump and FPR and you'll be safe to run that consistently. I wouldnt even crank uop the boost for fear of R&R. Congrats on haveing one of the better 33's. Mine is like that too. I got 180 only with a cat back and pod.

if the AFR is lean, then its lean.

even with 45% correction applied or being in the wrong shoutmode the car is still too lean. this would explain the power it is making. fix the leaning out and youll go back to around 170rwkw i would expect

well its meant to go down to 12AFR and stay there so If the pump is maxing out y would the AFR keep rising?

Not sure wat colour exhaust is but recently when some1 was driving behind me they said i blew abit of smoke when i gassed it like i was running rich or something.

yea... this is wat Ray said too

yeah if your floor, its going to pretty much run rich straight away

as long the as the smoke is black its ok, just rich and thats the stock ecu so its normal (ish).

its either the pump or the fpr, try the pump

it sounds likely. mine was leaning out around 180rwkw

The leaner it gets the higher the number.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
