hey guys,

would anyone out there know why my car wont make power? it came off the dyno yesterday and the most my tuner could pull was 213rwkw @ 1.2bar

he tried everything, timing,fuel, spent 4hrs on it and still came up with same figure all the time... and yes car is gettin PLENTY of fuel..no shortage of fuel...

mods are

rb25det motor

LINK ecu

hiflowed injectors (around 700cc)

walbro intank pump

stock fuel reg

kkr480 turbo .82 exh housing

gktech intercooler kit

3" v band dumpipe

3" gutted cat 3" inlet canon on rear

exceedy button clutch

from what i can tell there is nothin there holding the car back from making power? me and the tuner are both stumbled as too why it wont make anymore power...

it made 624nm torque and 213rwkw... last i checked kkr480 should make 250rwkw or around that?

it was tuned on an older type of dyno... mainlain dyno i think they call it..so doesnt have fancy new software all these shootout dynonamic dynos have..but yeah

anyone got any ideas?

car was barely gettin any knock from the link and ran fine the whole tune but would NOT make power .... its got me stuffed.. was racing it fri nite at test n tune at benaraby and done 10 runs

all 10 runs were between 13.3 and 13.6 @ 108mph...couldnt get it off line as its 2 laggy...but yeah... also car makes no power after 6000rpm its like dead revving.. i thought kkr480 would scream to 7000

specially with the .84 exh housing..

you say your car is gettin 'plenty' of fuel, but what if its gettin to much?? what was/is ur air fuel ratio?? at idle and on boost? did you get a read out off the dyno with ur AFR's ??

its gettin nice afr's tuner made sure of that, like i said in the above post, tuner tried leaning it out and making it richer, adding timing and taking timing out, kept coming up with same figure.

turbo should be good for 250rwkw.... its wot other ppl r making :S

put a dyno graph up, what boost was it making after 6000rpm. sounds to me like some kind of restriction in the airflow . What sort of inlet pipe do you have from afm to turbo? what condition is the cooler in?

cooler is only about 12 months old so i would assume condition is ok.

boost holds 19psi until redline

inlet pipe off the turbo to cooler is just 2.5inch mild steel same with otherside into tb.

dyno graph below and pic of inlet pipe

runs map sensor so dont need afm.

Err.. 624nm torque Holy crap!

Nice flat spot tho.. typical I suppose.

Have you upgraded your AFM? they max out 230-250.. oh sorry just noticed you dont need one, upgraded the pipe then? is it closing?

Edited by DECIM8

thats strange

the dyno graph shows it holding the 213rwkw all the way to redline and there is no drop off (just torque which is normal) so the car should feel strong uptop.

Its also strange that the tuner couldnt effect the power reading, by adding and removing timing by itself should effect the power pretty significantly.

Try taking it to another tuner and see what they say on the dyno

are the injectors just stock injectors hiflowed? If they are drilled out too far it can affect the spray pattern which can affect power but there are heaps of variables

yes the injectors are stock items just shaved the tops off and new caps on

i dont really have tuner options available around my area, closest would be brisbane and them tuners arent exactly cheap lol

i dunno wot to do, im nearly tempted to go back 2 stock turbo which pulled 190rwkw before i done injectors and kkr turbo...hmmm

That is one nice flat spot man and the power doesnt look smooth at all, if you havnt upgraded the AFM, get that done and maybe check your coil packs you might need new ones, and might want to get niso 740cc injectors, your injectors might be stuff if they have been shaved.

cars running splitfire coilpacks, boost is smooth and hard and revs fine, just doesnt seem 2 make power?

injectors r fine hey, he has done plenty of cars with them, mates 32 with rb25 has 400rwhp with same injectors

there is just something with my car that doesnt like making power and i cant figure it out:S

Are you running the factory blow valve to atmosphere? Are you sure it is not leaking up above 10-12 psi?

yes im running the factory bov vented, but if it was leaking wouldnt the boost drop off? it holds 19psi until redline

all 10 runs were between 13.3 and 13.6 @ 108mph...couldnt get it off line as its 2 laggy...but yeah... also car makes no power after 6000rpm its like dead revving.. i thought kkr480 would scream to 7000

I'm not into straight line stuff, but those in the know might be able to throw some ballpark figures of the power required to run that sort of trap speed.

I would first try removing the BOV and replacing it with a peice of metal to block it off just to see whether that is leaking...The turbo...is it new , 2nd hand ? some people do like to exaggerate the specs of the turbos they got...but I would assume if its got so much lag down low it should pull harder toward the top end of the spectrum....tough one to figure...good luck

sounds like you have an interesting problem there man, not fuel, then airflow? No restriction? sounds like a dodgy dyno to me, save up a little money n get it done by different tuner, b4 something bad happens n ur up for a heap of coin. Sounds weird after altering AFR's and timing that the same power figure came up. GL man, hame

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
