Hey guys,

Im buying a boost controller and goin to run 12psi! Just wondering if anyone would roughly know how much extra rwkw i should probably make?

Lasy dyno run i made 180kW@ wheels on standard boost R33GTST + exhaust + FMIC and pod filter

Any thought appreciated in advance!!

What were the afrs? And whos dyno?

Thats almost too good power for your mods. Either:

1. The dyno was reading high

2. The fuel pump is on its way out and its running lean

3. Its a complete freak :D

Do make sure you wind the boost up on the dyno as something sounds suss. Wouldn't want it leaning out and going pop. :S

Done @ BOOSTWORX last year! Even Shaun said that was awesome to get that figure and as far as i know thats all the mods that has been done to it! From memory the AFR was around 10,11 or 12 cant quite remember coz i got the printout at my work. The guy who i bought it off of said in the for sale thread that the ecu was chipped in japan but i had a look and could see no evidence of this.

what do u mean "standard boost"?

with exhaust and FMIC the car will no longer running standard boost

and as you said in the other post the ECU is chipped (higher boost?)

When I bought my car the previous owner gave me a dyno sheet. Mods include 5Zigen catback 3 inch zorst, 7 inch muffler, K&N air filter and thats it, and it was running 6/7psi (stock boost) and doing 153kw @ the wheels, dynoed at boostworx.

Now I'm running 14psi off a Garrett GT3076R, Turbosmart boost controller, turbo back 3 inch exhaust with hiflow magnaflow cat and the same K&N filter, no missfiring plugs (iridiums) gapped at 0.7mm. How much more power over the stock figure do you think I'm making? because I tell you now its ULTRA noticable.

If your still on the stock ecu your doing damn well and may have one of those 95 freak ecu's that tend not to experience R&R.

However...

14psi through a gt3037 usually is up around 230-240rwkw.

Your probably better off pushing boost down for safety sake as 230-240rwkw is beyond the stock injectors when running stock fuel pressure.

If it's "ultra noticeable" it would be at least 20-30rwkw more - although with those mods I'd say probably more than that again.

You've probably picked up a heap in the mid range, and that's often what makes a car feel faster.

Who cares though, if you're loving the extra power, then numbers are far less significant.

I had a look at the ecu and if it was chipped id have to crack open the ecu to see wouldnt i?

The outside casing of the ecu had pink writing RB25 turbo manual, like what you would see if it was second hand. So if it was chipped im assuming it was replaced with a standard one for compliance. However i dont know what or if anything else has been done to this motor??

Maybe it has been stuffed full of goodies that i wont see until she goes pop!!! :nyaanyaa:

And by the way its only running 7, 8psi when i did the dyno run!!

Not a freak Cubes.

You may not remember that my R33 pulled 177RWKW on the SAU dyno day last year & that was WITHOUT an FMIC & just stock boost.....

I must admit the 3-inch exhaust system transformed the top end power of my car (2 stage boost control sucks), something Whiplash has witnessed fromt the passenger seat. Will be interested to see what it pulls when those mods are done to my car :P

Yes but its not all that common.

What were the other near stock r33's running? I remember around the 150-160rwkw mark. What were your afr's I don't remember? :(

Others were running those kinds of numbers yes, but none of them had a full turbo back exhaust system (should know I asked them all :huh:). I actually had a power gain from 1 dump pipe to another too (1st one cracked & you could feel the difference with the second 1) as it was a different & much better design.

As far as I know the AFR's were good, but not sure on exact readings.

Biggest problem though is that it couldn't hold that power for long due to the pissy SMIC.

Thats your HICAS computer mate.

Also I highly advise against running 14psi on your car until you get a decent FMIC mate, as ive told u, the standard intercooler is good for nothing. You will experience detontation, and may not hear it, good buy motor.

Also as you are still running stock injectors, and pump, once again, you are really risking things.

So get it on the dyno for a power run, make sure afrs are safe and no detonation.

Call me if u want any help with anythin.

speaking of weird dyno results... i had my safc2 tuned on my r33 gtst s2, it had fmic turbo back exh, 12psi boost (bleed valve) and that was about it as for power gaining.. oh and pod filter lol

214.9rwkw, dynod @ chasers in melb.. they sort of spun out aswell but i dunno... weird and everyone's said wtf to it aswell.. felt quicker but i've never driven a car over 200kw so i can't compare...

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
