hey guys i reccently had my rb25 tuned, the problem is the car only made 192rwkw on 12psi, even though when i load it up it stays at 10psi, ive seen many std rb25's make this with std ecu etc and now im questioning the tune,the car had some high knock readings under light throttle uphill say 3000rpm not giving it a hard time. to the point where they had to pull timming out from below std settings. this also didnt make much sense.. mods are:

rb25det

std turbo,injectors,afm

greedy plenum

front mount

3inch exhaust

600x300 cooler

fuel pump

powerfc

boost controller is profec B 2...

i wouldve assumed an easy 200rwkw should be in order, the motor is very healthy with good compresion and lil to no leak down...am i expecting to much from these mods? whats your thoughts?

yea thats what i was thinking, realistic dyno. only problem is it doesnt feel all that well on the street. unless i was just expecting to much,i just cant understand why they had to pull the timming out "less then std" in some load points around 3000rpm. it makes for a very "doughy" pick up if you catch my drift.

Ryan,

My RB25 was 195rwkw with same mods minus the plenum.

Maybe go to another dyno tuner for a comparison run?

Or, with my tuner, he says if Im not happy, bring it back and they'll fix it!

Give the person who tuned your car a call and have a chat and tell them your thoughts etc!

Cheers,

Chris

I know the ceffie was quick without those mods (Ando beat me by .6 of a second!!! :( ) so take it to the track and open her up, see how she feels!

The only way your going to improve this figure is with an adj. exhaust cam pulley so you can get some timing into it [then you can pull it back/trim it to suit]. Then I'm only thinking around 200 -210, so you might make a slight diff, but if you have plans to go bigger turbo and cams etc I wouldn't waste my $$$ on a cam wheel.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
