ok so I've got my head back on and everything seems pretty good so far. Good old 3.0L purring away.

Been driving around a bit but the f**king battery dropped a cell. Left me on the side of the road. Won't buy century again, thats for sure. Its only 8 months old.

can anyone recommend a tuner down your way that will do a tune on a weekend? going to need a tune before the easter cruise

ecu's a Link g4.

thanks

rob

I do Powerfc, Link, and Vipec. ANd on a weekend, because I am not a workshop.

Can't do it on a dyno though, will need to be a street tune.

thats ok i prefer street tunes, will pm ya when i have a free weekend.

Disapointing results from my car today...... Only managed 240rwkw @18psi

Considering the turbo I have is supposed to be an improved version of the GT2835 Pro S, its quite annoying, Pro S turbos have easily seen 260rwkw and I have all the supporting mods to achieve that.

Going to do a compression test when i find some time and motivation, Bit of a blow spending all that money to achieve what I could have got with a high flow.

Data on the HKS GT2835 KAI for those interested:

HKS GT2835 KAI

thats not that bad of a result :cheers: , what suporting mods do you mean? and also remenber your in tropical mackay with huge heat and humidity!!!!!!!!!!!! do you have w/m injection? if not thats the best bang for buck and you'll get that figure your looking for. i garentee you who ever got 260rwkw would be at the same level if they came up here and hit the dyno. was that with robbie doing your tune? and pluse i would like to see the dyno chart i bet its got a great respone on that turbo so all the power would be in the mid range which would equal wheel spin city :rofl: but that depends on what your looking for. if it made great tourqe than who cares about hp even though i crap on about it still stuck on the old days of how much hp it makes not what tourqe did it produce. i bet its fun to drive though :cool:

Yeah I'm just disapointed that i spent so much on it when I could have gone for a hypergear for alot cheaper.

The Pro S's have got great figures, Joeyjoejoe on here has pushed over 300rwkw with E85, and was running 280ish rwkw with 98.

I wasnt targetting such high levels, but nice to know the turbo wasnt at its full potential in case I wanted to wind everything up

Dyno's correct horsepower loss from heat through intake air temp sensors (well as far as I'm aware anyway) so realistically same dyno in 2 different locations should read fairly similar

Its def fun to drive, Will be better when my 18's come. But still is a bit of a disapointment

Mods I have are:

Nismo 555cc

tomei in tank fuel pump

3" intercooler piping (stainless) with GKTech intercooler

Splitfire coilpacks

Power FC

Z32 AFM

NPC 10" Sprung Button clutch

3" turbo back exhaust (XForce)

Full HKS GT2835 KAI Kit (intake pipe, lines etc)

Thats all I can really think of atm, Think thats it

Hadnt thought about water meth but I dont think thats the issue. ATM I cant be bothered spending any more money on it, spent enough already and I've lost alot of motivation right now, so maybe in a few weeks I will see.

Pretty sure it's the turbo hey. Might try and get a pro s tune off someone and compare the maps. If there radically different I would say the turbo is limited

I'm in talks with nengun who supplied it and they are going to talk to HKS about it. ATM I'm putting no blame on nengun as they just passed on HKS information. So will see what they come back with

On holidays next week so car can wait for now.

You've probably got a massive boost leak somewhere... I'd say the stainless intercooler piping that you got someone to weld for you...

The tune is pretty damn good and there is nothing else I can think of that could restrict the power output. It's still not a bad figure, though. Every step forwards is a step towards a goal.

I'd say it was the turbo as well... What's your timing like?

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
