Need help.

The car is R34-GTS-T, had done this mods when i got it:

HKS cat back systems

HKS air intake systems

HKS intercooler

HKS evc

I'm thinking to get the cpu change, like Apexi Power Fc, Greddy e-manage, or HKS F con S. But my friend told me it's better to get the fuel pressure regulator and fuel pump change.

1. A'm I make a good decision by upgrade the cpu?

2. What would be better for the next upgrade?

Thanks

1. Front/Dump pipe (you'll be suprised at the midrange power)

2. Switch the boost up to 11-12psi (dont run any higher)

3. Exhaust Cam Gear

4. Fuel pump / Regulator

THEN.. start on the easy things like ECU, etc.

Make sure your pod filter is sealed from the engine heat, and has a decent air duct from the front bar to the pod.

I Agree fully with benm, except for step 4/. fuel reg. and pump should be up to the task. When and if you decide to upgrade the turbo then do these mods.

I have an after market ecu and the gains were very noticable. Still running factory pump and reg. without any signs of leaning out, up top. a/f is approx. 12.2, which sacrifices a couple of rwkw to keep the engine very safe. Car pulls alot harder and feels alot stronger when tuned properly with a ecu.

I dont know about 34 fuel pumps, but 33 ones are known for unreliability, which is why so many go straight for the bosch alternatives when powering up.

But yeah, as suggested, do the dump and front pipe first, and if fuel system is up to it, do the ECU.

As far as i know, no one can really proprerly tune an F-con in australia? Its certainly not as well known to tuners as the power FC, which has been tried and tested over and over. The E-manage apparently has some really good featurs that even the FC doesnt have, but again, less people know how to tune it properly.

Id go the Power FC, you cant go wrong. I dont know who would tune it in wollongong, but you can always go to croydon's in sydney. I think they did the tuning on the R34 gt-t project running in HPI mag.

Also, as suggested, apparently its a waste of time having a pod filter if its not partitioned.

Cheers, have fun! :burnout:

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
