FMIC don't really give power.

Is your POD exposed or boxed up(enclosed)? If its exposed your probably losing power right here compared to a standard airbox because of the heat from the engine bay.

Power isn't everything take your car to the drag strip and see how it performs against other cars with the same or more power.

Its ONLY A dyno reading, its used for tuning get your powerfc in wack in more boost and tune it and you will get the results or thereabouts.

Just get the power fc in it, the stendard r&r is far more severe on the r34 than the r33. I dyno'd a stock r 34 gtt, then he went away and got a million dollar front mount, million dollar exhaust, and brought it back, gained 4 rwkw, and lost about 30 kw in the midrange. looked like a rollercoaster. How does your dyno graph look?This one had 2 or 3 skijumps instead of the usual one for a r33)

for 33's i disagree, I've heard people say 12psi through 33's stndard cooler but with my own s2 i found that bloody unlikely as mine was majorly miss behaving with the standard smic.

drop a free'ER flowing fmic and piping and walla...she stoped nock,backfiring an just drove like a frign dream.. after that.

I get a jjr split front an dump, this weekend, im putting in my widebody 3" catco with it on my 3" cat back and il let you all know what she's like @ 10psi

the stock maps scale up when inc boost, so is it a rising rate when inc boost so the car literally runs worse afr;s or they come down a bit ?

The afr's get heaps worse when upping the boost, even standard they can go off the scale(<10:1), and it just gets worse from there, the other major problem is that the computer pulls out heaps of timing which loses any powe gain you would have had.

184rwkw @ 9psi with boost dropping hard (midrange was at 13psi)

FMIC, Pod

Zorst with terrible cat (changed now, goes better)

Avcr (hate it)

Power FC

Somehow want to hold 14psi and make 200rwkw, we'll see if i can sort the boost dropping issues out.

This is an r34 thread so this post is completely irrelevant and will only serve to confuse people who don't read carefully.

FMIC in r34's rare give any power. This much is true.

Dyno's do give very different read outs and are not comparable without controlled circumstances. For instnace, I went to Bel garage Mainline dyno one day and got 255rwkw, a month later on a similar day weather wise, with no other changes, I got 256rwkw on the Dyno Dynamics dyno at UAS.

Now if I went to Bel and got 255rwkw and you went to UAs and got 255rwkw I would not expect that they would have identical power until both cars had been on the other dynos.

ps. I now have 272rwkw on Unigroup's Dyno Dynamics dyno but got over 300rwkw on another dyno.

      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.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      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.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By jayden_l33 · Posted

      It ended up being that orientation of the float hub in relation to the clutch disk, when I installed it, I heard a loud click and being stupid, I decided to not take it a part and check it. The hub didn't properly align with the clutch disk and was causing the issue. Definitely an odd one! Dahtone Racing was able to fix me right up, stand up blokes!

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Right, but I'm saying on the stock ECU measured airmass from the MAF is no higher than stock. So it's accounting for the higher flow rate iso-manifold pressure. You just have to keep turning down the boost until you're within the stock tune's load scale. If you run off the end there's no telling what will happen. This does mean there's zero benefit to the turbos you're running vs stock, if anything it's just a straight downgrade because the transient response is worse, you don't even get the ECU's boost solenoid helping to pull the wastegate closed during initial spool, and peak power is only whatever the factory map can give you before you hit the R&R corner. On a -9 I would bet that you would have to change out the wastegate spring once you have a real ECU and you're tuning it for real. I'm not saying this is a remotely ideal state of affairs, it's just a way to keep it driveable until you can get a proper tune done.
