this would be my path i would take if you plan to have 200rwkw.

aftermarket ecu. Power fc are one of the most reputable ecus around.

some people have made it to 200rwkw on the standard turbo, but with being a bush bearing with ceramic wheel i wouldn't risk it.

limit on the standard turbo is about 12psi.

Also i would consider updating your injectors as they will get close to running on max duty cycle and also your air flow metre

Turbo- pretty much the best option and to retain standard manifold and not resorting to an externally wastegated turbo would be a GCG highflow turbo being ball bearing and having steel wheels, you can push the boost up to a greater limit then ya standard turbo and will easily hit 200rwkw.

GCG highflows are capable of seeing 260rwkw.

So my opinion if i was in your shoes i would look into

ECU

Split dump - less restriction

injectors

AFM

Highflow turbo

And then possibly blow off valve for better control and no leak.

there you will have 200rwkw and also and then some if you wanted.

sweet, cheers mate that helps me out so much!could i get away with using the neo safc instead on the ecu?

sup guys have another question. u can see on my graph on previous posts that my car runs really rich. runs a 10:1. RICH.

it was on 10psi. so wondering if i boosted it up to 14psi, would this help lean it out a bit.

cheers.

btw, stock ecu and mgt

i think u'll need a new turbo if u wonna run 14psi as the stock one will crumble. :P

I have higlighted the parts of this post which are utter rubbish.

turbo is ball bearing.

limit of the turbo is not calculated on a "boost" number.

injectors and afm is not out of their range before the turbo is so 200rwkw is within their reach without maxing out either.

Hilfow turbo is not required for a safe 200rwkw

Stock BOV is perfectly fine for alot more power than the stock or hiflow turbo can flow.

No. increasing the boost on a skyline makes the tune go even richer.

In R33 skylines, you won't be able to run much more than 10 psi without running in to R&R issues... (which will feel like a boost cut.. or you'll get misfire issues around 4500rpm .. plenty of threads on this issue)

the dip in some peoples dyno graphs on R33 skylines is very common with stock ECU..

search for that to find more details.

i was just going on what happened to me

my airflow metre was close maxing out at 220rwkw which isnt too far away from 200rwkw

and my injectors wer close to 90% duty cycle.

even my 555cc injectors are at 60% when on 240rwkw

Also was going from what other people have stated with the standard turbo that 12 psi was a safe limit on them

but hey whack it up to 18psi and see how it goes, i have never tried it, and never will.

And my utterly rubbish that i posted, was my opinion, people can take it onboard or have the choice of not to.

You didn't mention the words "IMO or in my opinion" anywhere in your post.

you posted "facts" according to you.

200rwkw to 220rwkw is a big difference.

stock injectors = 370cc

Calculation is

(injector size(cc) / 10.6) x 2 = horsepower per injector

convert to kilowatts: divide by 1.34

multiply by number of injectors

(370/10.6) x 2 = 69.8

69.8/1.34 = 52

52 x 6 = 312kw

lose 40-50kw to the wheels = 260 - 270rwkw at 100% duty cycle.

take 20% off for good measure

218rwkw @ 80% duty cycle

your injectors using the above and your said 60%

= 230 - 240rwkw (using 40-50kw loss to the wheels.)

So much hearsay and conjecture. IMO don't upgrade until you max it out.

For instance, my RB30 instantly maxxed out the RB20 afm and constantly ran in R&R as soon as it saw any boost with more than 10% throttle or over 3000rpm. Maxxed out at 183rwkw.. also, the exhaust side of the 25 turbo maxxed out (can't physically flow the exhaust gasses coming out of the 30). Have since had the stock ecu remapped along with 550cc injectors and a z32 afm installed.. still have to live with the turbo falling over about 5800rpm till after xmas :P

Do the upgrades slowly, as and when you need them - this will also help if you come across any issues (too many changes at once makes it harder to diagnose problems).

The only thing I suggest going full hog on straight away is, if you know you're going to end up with a bigass turbo, bigger injectors, afm etc down the track, then don't waste money on a simple piggy back to start with. Just get a full ecu and go from there.

If i changed the ecu to say a powerfc would the car still run with the right emissions?

your running stock everything basically, why spend money on an emanage when you could use any old manual bleed valve to do the same thing... geez your only gonna run 12psi max and even then your still runnin stock ecu...

listen to GTST & bubba... lots of others on this forum will tell you the same... the ones that don't simply don't have experience or have been misinformed...

200rwkw should be almost achievable if you get zorst air intake a PFC and get a good tune, and take care of you vehicle...

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?

      The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.

      And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R

      So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
