Hi guys,

Pretty much im running these mods on my r32 gtst:

high flowed turbo

full hks xuast

pod

and boosts up to around 11psi.

just feel like its down on power and could have more potential.

Not looking at spending too much for a tune, but something decent.

Anywhere around south east qld / gold coast would be great.

Cheers

it is worth remapping the standard ECU if your not going to do any more mods... so i'd suggest getting a front mount before you got it remapped, cause otherwise later down the track u'll need to remap it again.

a SAFC is a piggy back computer that modifies the reported voltage from the air flow meter. its good for some tweaking, but if you want to take full advantage of that high flow, either an aftermarket ecu or a remap is in order.

yeah would have the standard ECU.

Is it not worth while remapping the standard computer or ?

whats safc?

in that case, Mercury Motorsport and DrDrift are the only 2 i know of who have the facilities to remap the stock ecu.

yes, if you increase the boost it changes the tune. do you have a boost controller at the moment ? if not, i would get an EBC and give mercury a call. they'll set whatever boost you want and remap to suit. Also, if your gonna be putting out more power, make sure your fuel pump is up to scratch.

fyi i think a remap comes in at about $500

as the others have said the safc is a piggy back computer, it wont give you the same tune a a remap, however i dont think the total would cost as much, in saying that if you have the $$$ get the ecu re-mapped it is worth the extra dollars in the end

stuff it if ur gonna run 12psi on the standard sucker ull be fine with the nissan ECU relearning itself and save ur money and buy a full ecu eg pfc.

but if ur doin massive increases eg new turbo injects afm NOS (lol) then u should check afr and tune accordingly.

go see the guys at 101 motor cafe. From my experience there are alot of bad tuners out there and i wouldnt recommend anywhere else

just trying to get an idea of things,

hopefully will be slotting in a new turbo/z32/injectors/pump in the next few weeks what would you expect to pay for someone decent to tune the car, it already got the usuals and powerfc

i know matt spry is awesome from the word of mouth but seemed quite expensive ($500 to do a tidy up tune on the car as it is[tuned by APC previously])

or is that the sort of price all tuners charge

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
