It’s Tuned A Ready To Roll

[Viper_r32]

Hey guys, just though I’d post up the results of my new tune, just got the turbo high flowed and a boost controller fitted. All the tuning was done by CEF11E on the Autotech Dyno.

Stock engine internals, stock cat, stock dump, stock injectors, GCG High flow RB20 turbo, bigger fuel Pump and 16psi

I'm so happy with the result, and it’s so fun to drive. Puts a nice big grin on my face every time I hit full boost .

A very big thanks to Nick for tuning the ECU, Great job man! Big thanks to Autotech, Integra Automotive, GCG and J Racing

sounds good.. how much did that set you bak?

It was $3000 to get the turbo high flowed including the labour

$220 for Fuel Pump (can’t remember how much for labour)

$850 for the boost controller including fitting

$350 for re-chipping the ECU and tuning

So allot! But worth every cent.

[SkyGTRline]

good work.

gives me a rough idea what mine should be doin

as ive never hit the dyno

[R32_Matt]

nice result!

afr's and boost look pretty good.

what kind of torque did it make?

[CEF11E]

Glad you are happy with the results paul

there is a dip in power as you can see due to the boost controller spiking and then dropping back down, this is due to still having a fairly restrictive (standard front/dump pipe and standard cat) combined with a super efficant.

As you can see boost comes on in very short space of time and comes on hard. the compressor is only just in its efficant operating range at 16psi and there is a lot left in it.

Paul, I think i have found out what the issue with the boost controller is I will pm you the details...

We settled with 200rwkw with 12:1 afr's due to still running stock injectors. With a set of GTR's and new front pipe and a cat 220~240 would be realistic

Good figures. Still think you should have gone with one of Slides high flows for about a 1/3 of the price

[Ben_R32]

Nice work mate. Mine was on the dyno on Saturday and made ~150rwkw, and I know that's fun on the track. You must be loving it.

Honestly I considered it, but I’ve always been the kind of person who believes in “you get what you pay for”. I have always preferred to pay more money for something that I know 100% will do the job I want it to. But by no means dose that mean that one of Slides high flows would not have been sufficient, but as a personal preference I preferred to go Ball bearing instead of Bush and have it done company that has a really good reputation. As the turbo itself only cost $1900 to be high flowed the rest was all Integra’s labor.

Absolutely, Nick suggested I take it easy in the beginning to get used to the power. But honestly it didn’t take that long before I was leaving the throttle open on the straightaways. Although I have to admit I was changing gear a 5000rpm as it’s still a little scary to take up to 6000 but a lot of fun.

[NAman]

Wow!

An extra 60rwkw! or 40%+ more power!

Thats a bucket load- i'd be very happy with that!

Enjoy!

[Bullet32]

Hey, Nice effort - 200rwkw is quite respectable from an RB20, Go the R32's!

Can I ask what kind of boost controller youre using?

Ive currently got 230rwkw from mine but all I need is a boost controller to make 260 - 270, Im looking into getting something electronic for under $1000, but I cant decide what to get.

Also $1900 seems like allot of money for a high flow turbo, I bought a GT30 / 71R ball bearing turbo from GCG - thats a 500hp turbo for $1780.

the good thing with a high flow is that it will just bolt back into place no f**king around changing lines or manifolds, or custom piping!!!

The only things that I had to change were the oil and water lines (which came with the turbo) put a right angle silicone bend on the compressor and a 10mm spacer on the manifold (because the turbo so big), thats it.

Anyone who has some mechanical ability could do it.

[CEF11E]

A lot of people will disagree with me here.

but in terms of boost stability and simplicity i will allways recomend a turbotech boost controller. mine holds 18psi as a dead flat line...day in and out. no electronic parts to fail, be stolen or set.

they cost almost nothing and if you are after a set and forget controller they are simply the best.

Once you start looking at larger capacity engines that spool turbos quickly an electronic item is good to allow boost delivery to be more linear and not come on like a bomb,

there are a lot of excellent boost controllers out there but do not dismiss the turbotech. it is a good simple invention and will do just as good at holding boost at a flat line.

if you want a high and low boost setting these are not for you.

I had a profcb in my car and removed it and replaced it with a turbotech and will never go back to an electronic item

Just some food for thought

Apexi AVC-R Limited Edition. I originaly purchesed the standered one form Jerry at J Racing. but then Jerry went to fit it, and it turned out to be faulty. So Jerry phoned up Apexi to ask for a replacement, but they dident have any of the standered ones in stock. they said they had a limited ed virsion but it was like $180 more. Jerry told them that that wasent aceptable as it was a faulty bran new item, and he needed a replacement straight away. so they gave me the Limited ED version for the same price and sent it over night. it was fited the folowing morning.

that was the main reason i chose to go with a high flow. so if people look under the hood it all looks stock. no probs with rego inspection, police or anything else

[CeJay]

Nice increase in power

[Bullet32]

Mine is still a low mount using the standard manifold, the only difference you can see is that it doesnt have the heat sheild anymore and theres a blue silicone hose where the metal right angle used to be (see picture).

It passed ACT rego inspection no problems at all, they didnt even notice.

I would love to get an AVCR-II but they are really expensive, do you think they're worth it?

So how do I get and how much is one of these Turbotech controllers?
