nice looking curve indeed. for me, i reckon with the track use you give it i wouldn't mind a little more fuel up top. shape of the afr is no problem though, as long as the power curve is good (which it is). the boost curve could be better though. something is not quite right with that.

drop of 2psi on the boost curve

ruler flat boost curve would be nice but not necessary IMO. A drop of 2psi simply means your turbo's not working quite so hard at high RPM and that's where things start to fly apart. It just means you can run 2psi more boost in the midrange!! :D

The boost curve is my fault. I haven't adjusted the actuator enough. I will fix that.

As for more boost. I didn't try it but I doubt the turbo has much left in it so I didn't think to bother giving it a go.

Very nice curve Adam! I think this may have just swayed me to take my car to Unigroup when I get my tuned done. I'm was still deciding between them, Hitman or Powertune.

Do you mind listing what mods you have done to the car?

Rebuilt engine with Wiseco forged pistons and Tomei Type B, 260/260 Poncams. Running 8:75:1 compression ratio.

Blitz LM intercooler

Apexi pod (only because the stock airbox is such a pain to remove and refit all the time, the stock one was no restriction)

Nismo 480cc injectors at an occasional 100%

R34 GTR fuel pump and regulator

GCG highflow turbo

CES split dump/front pipe

Fujitsubo cat back (quiet one)

3" cat in since compliance

Apexi AVC-R

PFC

That's the power mods.

As far as Unigroup are concerned. They really involved me in the process which I liked. Of course you can drop you car off and pick it up 3 days later running perfectly but I like to fiddle and I like to learn. Yavuz (if i spelled his name right) is definitely a perfectionist but he doesn't think you will take his job if he teaches you something. He keeps no secrets.

Excellent, thanks! :D

Hmm I was thinking of going 260 poncams as well but if you're hitting 100% at 272kw I think I should stick to 250 because I've only got 440cc injectors. Thanks for the reminder, I think its just saved me quite abit of money. :D

i'm not sure I can see this direct correlation between cam duration, and injector duty cycle? injector duty cycle is controlled by one thing only. the numbers inputted into the CPU. the size of injectors required is controlled by one relationship only. the amount of air you are stuffing into the engine, vs the air fuel ratio you want to maintain.

lol, so you didn't cave when he told you to wind up the boost some more?

It's times like this i regret getting rid of my highflow and sticking the hks manifold and t300s on. So much work, so little gain....but I still have 2 more rwkw!

hi there just wondering how much did it cost?

cheers

They certainly know their stuff. I really enjoyed this one. I learnt a lot and the car is putting out a little more power, very safely, with nice smooth AFR's.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
