well there is a good chance i will be getting an ebc i would like to have it on a low boost setting for everyday driving and wind it up when i feel like getting excited.

Does anyone have any recomendations for an ecu tune in sydney? apart from SAS as they are booked out for some time

bbenny - I would be more than happy to fly up and help tune your ECU for you. Without goin to aftermarket ecu you really do need the Z32 AFM. The problem is that after the RB20 AFM reaches 5 volts the ecu has no idea how much the motor is flowing. the Z32 item should be good for 300 rwkw or more. It's a good idea to keep the safc for future fuel tuning if someone who can re-write the factory ECU's is not available.

Fuel cut defenders only place an AFM output voltage clamp on, and hence is exactly the same sceario of youe ecu has no idea how much air you're actually getting, and tuning the SAFC will not help as the output voltage will still be clamped.

Feel free to drop me a line or call me if you need any further info or advice... 0411 878 961

Doc.

thats only .8 bar. So its pretty damn good. The turbo hasnt hit its efficiency range yet which is about 1.5 bar.

The big thing with HKS turbos is they come on boost hard, I get boost coming on at just over 2K with a 3037, hits really hard at about 2500 - 2700 (hard to tell exactly:)) but goes from about 4 pounds boost to 14.5 in only 3-400 rpm - its nuts.

With 1.2bar on that turbo (you got 8.5:1 CR so pretty boost friendly) you will be looking at 230rwkw easy.

207 rwkw on 12 psi !!! using a 2530 ....

I dont think so .......

Either the dyno you are using reads way high or there is something wrong with your boost guage.

Iam running a hks 2535 with all the support systems needed, running 19 psi and i make 206 rwkw which is about 10 rwkw down on where i think it should be. Iam in the process now of finding that extra power.

Tim.

I think I know where your power is lost...

You live in Tamworth!

Dyno studies prove that the northern beaches area is worth at least 10% more power. North Sydney ranks highest at 40% more.

It's all in the demographics man, all in the demographics...

haha yeah Doughboy is right, move over here and you will gain massive power.

I actually had the dyno guys hook up the dyno to the vacume to measure boost also, i called them today and got the boost measurement, the dyno recorded 12psi but it crept to 14psi from 5000rpm to cut.

Japsix, im sorry to hear yours is only making 206rwkw on 19psi, that sounds wrong.

My car has always done pretty well on whatever dyno its been on. with std turbo on 14psi it was making 170rwkw and running stupidly rich.

from what ive heard and read about guys with 2530 equiped RB20s they all seem to make around 220rwkw on 1.2bar (17.6psi) so mine doesnt seem too far off those i guess.

:cool::):(

Yeah i no what you mean, i think we all try to compare dyno figures from different dynos to much. The only way to compare is put all cars on the same dyno on the same day.

I may live in Tamworth but all my tunning and dyno runs are done in sydney.

Tim.

im not sure yet, Dr Drift has offered to rewrite it, i havent heard of anyone having theirs done by him, so anyone with experience please let me know, he seems like a nice guy. im going to call him this week to talk.

otherwise i may take it to some place in Artarmon that retune ECU's but once again ive had no experience with them, so if anyone has recomendations that would be great.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
