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

Ryan, feel free to pm me if you like :banana:

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.

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • 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!
