I have the same mods on my s2, 3" turbo back exhaust, pod, tube n fin front mount cooler. No boost controller but car runs ( in second stage) much higher boost than stock. Around 12psi. Due to the 3" dump etc.

Was thinking of getting an ebc like an avcr to turn it down and run say a flat 10PSI cos the car runs real rich now. Backfires n stuff under high boost, so instead i'm gonna get an safcII to tune the air/fuel ratio's so it does'nt run so rich. Arn't those turbosmart bleedtap style controllers ment to spike heaps? If your car runs anything like mine with those mods i wouldn't have a bleedtap.

For a cheap, yet reliable boost controller you could try a needle-valve one, for example turbotech (search this forum for $22 boost controller). More reliable than a bleed-valve. They work by restricting the pressure that the wastegate sees until the desired boost is reached, thereby building boost quicker than stock and many people have had good results with them.

I have a similar boost controller that I bought off ebay for $35 including postage and it works fairly well. Not as good as something like the AVCR but for the money you cant go past it.

I'd at least get an SAFCI (blue screen) or SAFCII to tune your Air/Fuel Ratios. Not only can this give you more power, it also makes your top end cleaner. You'll notice a difference. :D

I've got a S2 stagea, 3" turbo-back exhaust, the above-mentioned boost controller set to 11psi, safcI, tiptronic auto with shift kit, and I have 170rwkw (or approx 150kw at all 4 wheels, but it was tuned on a 2wd dyno).

Before the safc was installed it ran really rich at the top end and surged a bit then went really flat at the top end. After the safc was installed and tuned it was a completely different story. My power graph is smooth and so is the power delivery. There is no decrease in power right up to the redline.

It sounds great and runs perfect. I really love driving it now. I think the safc and a good tune will make the difference you guys are looking for. :(

Fuel pump,injectors ,coils,computer(All to be done at the same time due to tune)

Good time then to change oil pump and water pump, timing belt , bearings and bolts if you have not done.

Then suspension and brakes.

After you have spent 10K you will want to do turbo upgrade with a/m manifold.

If you have read this far you are a mod-do-holic and not even 1000hp will cure you :)

How much money do you want to spend?

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around with a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
