I Thought Slides Hiflows Hold 19psi?

R33GOD, not sure if this is relevant.

I've got a slide high-flow too. It's the VG30 one though. Mine spools up quick and comes on real hard. On my 34, i'm pulling 240rwkw on just 12 psi. And that's on a piggy back ecu. Will be running more boost soon once i fix on either a motec M48 or power FC.

Understand how you feel mate, i would be disappointed if i can't have my turbo performing at its peak level. However, we all have to agree Aaron made hell of a good hi flow :)

definately a good turbo for a standard hiflow. guess i could miss out of a few kw by having a better spool up than most other brands.

And for the price i paid overall i am satisfied

well 2nd gear breaks traction at 80% throttle without droppin the clutch so im happy. And i got thick 265's on the rear :D

how do u find lag with the vg30 rear and when do u get fullboost by?

also spoke to the tuner today and told me that it made more torque than when it had 240rwk previously.

so im happier now. And damn it gets to speed quicker

what support mod are you running? to make 240 just wondering..

cheers

i guess it will have to do for now. if i get bored with it il get a nice big turbo next yr. But what turbo to make the most out of my supporting mods...... :P

To get a bigger turbo you'll probably sacrifice response for top end power.

IMO, an upgrade from the hi-flow might be the HKS 2835 pro s which seems to be able to break the 300rwkw mark and not too much lag and it can be internal gated.

I hit full boost at 12 psi at 3700 rpm.

Mods: full exhaust, fuel pump, fmic, pod, injectors. I guess the engine is pretty healthy, on my stock turbo, i made 210rwkw on just 10psi.

This may be a stupid question but where are you taking your boost reading from? If it is from the inlet plenum (standard location) it could be possible that the turbo is running at 19psi, and you simply have a few psi pressure drop across your intercooler, piping etc?

Just putting it out there you think it would of been better to go with say a hypergear turbo i got one myself sitting there waiting to go on and got mate with them on there cars and they are good will get you the numbers you wanted

since i got it tuned i personally havent driven it but was in the passanger seat. went better.

first time i took it for a drive yesterday and its sooo much more powerful and responsive than when it had 241rwk. i just couldnt believe how much better a car can go with less rwk. why is that? its got me puzzled

figured out how much peak torque it has too. 540nm torque at the fly :whistling:

could have a better torque curve, making it feel faster, but the most likely explanation is that you were sitting in the passenger seat, this always feels faster than driving

this is when i drove it for the first time a few days ago..

R33GOD - I just dropped my 33 off at Unigroup up here in Sydney.

Last time it was there they fitted the hi-flow and EBC.

Now Im going 550 injectors, z32 AFM and retune so I'll let you know how mine goes :)

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
