when I had my 32gts4 I dynoed it at 110kw atw (basically stock), but fast enough for me over a twisty mountan pass (and quick enough to keep up with a friend in a gtr - ok mabey he was holding back a bit because he had my girlfriend in the car, but she was still sh!tscared)

well im just really asking if its even possible to have 180kw with low boost using the right equipment?? Just curious. I was reading one the import magazines and it was going on about a consevative way of modding and it said that the point on modifying a turbo would be be trying to the most power out of it using the least amount of boost increase. So hence why I was asking if its even possible to have good numbers with low boost.

dont know why you would want to buy a new turbo to run 7-8psi.....run the stock turbo with stock boost controller with a decent exhaust, split dump pip,hiflow cat, 3" system, pod should get you to around 170kw.....raise boost to say 10psi which is still safe and you will have what u are looking for......this is alot cheaper then upgrading ur turbo, cause u would have to get an exhaust anyway....my 2 cents....

i got 188rwkw with hybrid FMIC, HKS pod, turbo back exhaust w/dump pipe on stock boost @ uas dyno day last weekend. apparently i have a 'freak car' :sorcerer:

when i had the boost controller on previously, it ran 202rwkw at 11psi

damn you.....there are others with good figures from light mods

only changes i have made are

turbo back exhaust

just jap fmic

boost controller

202.6rwkw. Hit 11psi 2300rpm, got to 12psi by 4500rpm for a bit and dropped to 10psi by redline....

WTF????? is that all you got?? No aftermarket ECU?? That car must be running rich as hell.

your kidding thats awesome man!!!! Is that your R33 in the pic doing the monster burn out?? I was under the impression R33 ECU's were the cars weakest link and the first think that needed to go. keeping the stock ecu in your case is mad cause its protected well due to ecu's protection in regards to running rich. Is this common for a boosted R33 running 180-200rwkw to run on a stock ecu well like yours. Or is your R33 some kind of freak of nature!!!

Edited by LatinR33

yeah it was at the drags....put on some old stockies and sat there for a bit...

i dont know too much about whats normal, or much about r33 ecu's being new to the scene but it seems to be going good. again not sure what others are running with stock ecu...some guys said i should check if it has been modified or chipped....but i really dont know too much about it....just fiddled with boost controller to set it up and chuckedf it on....

Sounds to me your cars just a freak of nature cause I dont think the R33 ecu can be chipped or modded. Thats mad!! Some other guy here I just read got 188kw's on just an exhaust,fuel pump and power fc!!! thats nuts I know Dyno's figures arent exactly accurate but thats still alright :P Must go good regardless.

i had 195 with exhaust and intercooler on 10psi stock turbo. even have the airbox in there. it just happens. maybe its just cars from the south west lol. it was running very rich, but still made a reasonable power curve, with the exception of a massive hole at 6-7krpm. but still 195 lol.

since fitted exhaust cam gear, power fc and a few other jazz and with 12psi got 188 at the uas dyno day lol. put bosch 040 in the other day and will tune it again tomorow and see what i get, before fanging it on the skidpan on saturday :unsure:

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
