I removed the exhaust at the Cat and increased my timing by 2 degrees because of the octane booster advantage. Also modified the front bar for better flow through the cooler and heat wrapped the exhaust the day before, which made noticable difference to intake temps.

My best run however was with the exhuast on.

Thats some impressive power your making out of those relatively basic mods. How long ago did you install the PowerFC, early on or later on?

14.7psi is abit high on the stock turbo, I get told that 12-13psi is a risk on warm-ish nights.

I think if you can get your traction problems sorted (thankgod someone else gets axle tramp, was beginning to think i was the only 1) then you should see a 12.7-12.8 easily.

oh i get axle tramp alright.. although i am not quite sure exactly what it feels like so not positive! If its the feeling where you're tyres aren't quite squealing and your ass end feels like its bouncing up and down while the wheels are spinning then i get axle tramp big time?? so you are not alone.

As far as i can tell the best way to fix it would be get rear suspension as hard as rocks or put 100kg in the boot. I have pineapples as well, reduces it a bit but not enough as i would have liked.

Thats it alright. I think my car launches harder with 2 people in the back then what it does with just myself. The extra weight most deffinetly helps. I've got 2mth old Koni Shocks and 4mth old Pineapples, my last bet is new Dunlop FM901's to replace the Falken ZE502's. If they dont fix the problem (or dramatically improve it) im not sure what else can be tried. I just wish somebody could give a reason as to why it happens (too hard, too soft, wrong setup, etc).

What an awesome result - congrats:) Hope you got another turbo waiting nearby :P

Have you thought about going for a solid alloy spacer in place of the front pineapples - I have heard it can work wonders, just locks the whole thing up.

yer..same prob.. I've got the Falken's as well. It's just that the skyline is not too balanced.. weight distribution could be a lot better for dragging if it was more even. A full whiteline kit would do wonders if you want to spend the money.

I can probably do a bit better and get a mid-13 but not much better i don't think with my current setup and a few tweaks.

Hmmm.. I've only got pineapples on the ass end actually as i thought that was mainly where it would be needed in a RWD. Would I get gains from having them on the front as well?

I was running 17" 35 series tyres with 20psi. The track was ultra sticky. First run I tryed with a burnout and ran a 13.6. After that i decided to skip the tyre smoking and drive around the water, ran constant 13.1's and the single 12.9 after that.

benm: I installed the FC over eight months ago.

111mph! what the!

I think I'll get a 12.9 soon but, 111mph is damn fast and indicates alot of horsepower.

Go the whales!

I think that puts the R32 boys in their place, they need hiflows toget those sort of times :P

What was the 60ft? (I'm guessing a 2.1)

Looks like AIR got its shit together this time! The warmer day time track temp' would certainly help. It was faaar from ultra sticky last s/meet :P.

Damn I wished I'd gone now :P Nightcrawler set a PB this meet too.

Dave,

111+mph is more than some people would have you believe the stock turbo & injectors can manage!

That little stock turbo is a freak for sure :P It provides minimal lag, hence the quick 1/4 even with a so-so 60ft, yet has big top end to run 111+.

Matt,

be very careful about what you upgrade your turbo with. You could go backwards!

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
