R34 Gtt High Flowed Turbo... Can't Make More Than 260hp

Hi Guys,

I recently had my stock turbo compressor wheel disintegrate and at the time my mechanic advised to get my turbo high flowed and we sent it off to get it done. Turbo arrived back with bigger cores, steel wheels, etc and the guys who did it reckon it can now handle up to 320hp at the wheel. My mechanic fitted it back on and straightaway with not much tuning it was making 260hp at the wheel, but didn't have any low-end response. After many hours spent with the tuning he was able to get the power to come a bit earlier but it would still reach 260hp (at around 5500 rpm) and then taper down a bit. Unfortunately I don't have a dyno graph handy to show you guys and I'll try to get one as soon as possible.

R34 GT-t

My mods:

- High flowed turbo

- Trust/Greddy front mount intercooler Spec-V

- Apexi PowerFC

- Greddy ProfecB spec II boost controller

- SARD 650cc injectors

- Tomei fuel pump

- Z32 afm

- pod filter

- hks sequential bov

- 3" fujitsubo turbo back exhaust with high flow cat

The problem is no matter what settings the car is tuned to, it won't go past the 260hp mark (this is at 19psi). We also found that the turbo was making 23psi at the turbo...but by the time it is entering the inlet mainfold, the boost reading was 19psi. This happens from 5500 rpm to red line. We have checked the intercooler piping to ensure that there are no leaks. We even disconnected the exhaust from the dump pipe onwards and there was no appreciable gain. My mechanic seems to think that the intercooler might be the bottleneck as the loss of almost 4psi from turbo to the inlet manifold is hurting the top end.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be the bottleneck? Once again I apologize for not having a dyno chart as that would make it make the problem more evident. I'm going to try and swap the intercooler with a friends later on in the week to see if that makes a difference, but in the meantime if anyone has ideas or tips on what else I can try/look out for that would be great.

Cheers.

i would change the cooler for sure, but if your still getting 19psi in the manifold, should be making more power than 260hp. have you got a plot of boost etc. you may have an actual boost leak also, have you checked all clamps etc?

Well you have a intake restriction. Usually the cooler or the bends and so on.

It also depends on the hi-flow, who did it... what specs etc etc.

Without knowing that its hard to say

the exhaust is a restriction to an extent in my opinion

also - completely seal the pod filter in a custom CAI box

replaced my "fujitsubo' muffler with a Kakimoto hiflow one, and got better cat converter.... much better flow for my hiflow turb'

suggest you look into it (ie dyno with exhaust dropped off at front of cat converter, see the power difference with on / off

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
