Hey skyliners,

Recently had a power fc & boost controller installed on my car & for some reason the power delivery stops once the car reaches the 180kw mark.

My tuner said for my mods my car should've easily hit the 200kw+ mark. I'm taking it back soon so he can see what might be causing the restriction but I thought maybe some of you might be able to shed some light or give any suggestions or tips.

Car is an R34 GT-t 1998 coupe.

My car still has the stock turbo so hi boost is set to 12 psi, lo boost at 9psi.

My mods:

- Split 3" engine pipe bought from powerplay imports in sydney

- 3" JIC magic dump pipe

- 3" hi flow X-force cat bought from Just Jap

- HKS hi-power silent cat-back xzorst

- Apexi Power FC

- Greddy Profec B spec II

- HKS mushroom pod with CAI & modified factory snorkel

- Hybrid GT spec intercooler

- HKS SSQV type bov plumback

- Nismo fuel pump

- Splitfire coilpacks

The car itself is running well is serviced regularly.

Hope somebody out there can help

:)

thanks in advance people

:P

It's the boost controller. It should be able to hold 12 psi to the end and it's not. The AFR's are too rich up high as well but fixing that will only get you another 5rwkw or so. If you really can't get the boost controller to hold the 12 psi then you might have to look at putting some preload on the actuator or replacing it with an adjustable one.

Is that a common occurance with the Greddy Profec B specII?

would getting another type of controller fix the problem or can it simply be fixed at the tuners?

Thanks again for all the replies guys! :devil:

i got 199kw with 11psi stock ecu, exhaust cam gear, exhaust, intake, and 34 smic which surprised the crap outta me.

dunno about the profec but with the blitz one i got if you set the gain too high it over boosts past the limit and retards the ratio to settle it back down. once you get the combo of gain and ratio right it holds boost fine. maybe check if your ebc has those parameters to play with.

One more thing worth trying which was the case for me...i had an x-force "hi flow" cat which was shit...i changed it to a 3" metalcat and got it retuned...my tuner managed to dial in more timing and peak power rose by 12rwkw...with heaps more in the midrange too...

which is what i was about to say. its running rich in the higher rpm which is why you made the power u did. If you had 12.0/1 top end which is still stoichometric id say you would pick up another 5-10 rwk.

but it is very safe the way it is also :devil:

I've got that aswell, so you reckon metalcat is the way to go... cheers

Gutting the cat is silly as it leaves a large void where the gases expand then squeeze back down which introduces turbulence as a result back pressure. All though still better than having a restrictive ceramic cat in place its not as good as a straight pipe. If your going to do it do it properly and weld a pipe through the guts of the cat.

BUT..

Metalcat FTW

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
