well finally got my r33 gts t to the dyno not heavily modded just stage 2 FMIC, apexi safc, 2.5 inch from the cat back exahust and 12 pounds of boost i obtain a 190kw at the wheels. "HAPPY? i dont know!" the guy who was tuning said he has never seen such an ugly power curve! from 4800rpm the curve is perfect shooting straight up but before that, it looks like a stair way all lumpy and shit at 4200rpm to 4800rpm it actually flat lines making no power. WHY IS THIS!!!

also how come on 7 psi at 4000rpm it makes roughly 138kw but at 12 psi at 4000rpm it makes roughly the same. a little help would be great.

Your turbo is too small. It takes more that you think out of the small t25 to keep up with the rb25's displacement and rpm's. This creates lots of extra heat going into your motor reguardless of the intercooler. May sound comfusing to you but I can almost gurantee its the problem. Why do you think the turbo makes boost so soon? Its too small.

Er, no. Note his problems are before 4800rpm, not after. The turbo is a T3, btw.

ECR 33, the 4500rpm flat spot is a common problem with 25t's, but a safc + tuning usually sorts it out for most ppl (myself included). The factory ecu runs super rich and takes out a bunch of timing at non-stock boost levels. Cutting back fuel (afm load) on the safc should have corrected it. Does your tuner have much experience with rb25det's?

I believe your problem is this.

Replace the current exhaust with a 3" Turbo-back system and you'll gain a good 8-10rwkw across the board with noticable power gains in the 2,500-4000rpm area by freeing up the turbo and allowing it to breathe.

I created a thread here somewhere of a "before / after" dyno readouts when I got my standard front/dump/cat replaced with a 3" system. Ahhh here we go you can read up on it

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      Oh ok that makes so much sense. Thanks for clearing it up!

      And these modern "environmentally friendly" EV vehicles also run on the same smoke! When the engine, wiring, or batteries let it escape it also stops running!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yeah - I found the same information too.. 30% open is like 85% of flow etc. So it's probably going to be minor if not completely imperceptible. I also have a larger pod filter here, will swap that on and see if there's any difference. The hardest part is finding a place to uh, test this. It's quite noticable just how much having ducting to the otherwise completely open pod cools the intake temps down. It's better boxed, or shielded but driving for 30 seconds really makes it plummet to near ambient temperatures. I recall in the past when I was a RB land and had a nice flowing airbox -  - Then I took the lid off and put a pod there, and gained 9 psi of boost and about 60kw from the restriction I didn't know I had - with the controller at same duty cycle. However finding people using over the radiator intakes having similar KPA drops at WOT on built setups makes me think there restriction could be the exhaust or potentially the headers. Either way though, there's no real estate to play with and nothing that can realistically be done about it. The original dyno plot without the airbox, and the larger pod had a better curve. It was later I added the ducting and airbox, and a smaller pod to make it fit in there...

      That's not completely truthful now is it? Any flex fuelled factory cars also had the option to run on steam.

      R33 general questions

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah so I guess your mechanic would know turnaround better than me....but I would have thought you had access to same day or overnight rack rebuilds there....any big city here in Australia has that service.   There are a couple of o-rings and seals involved, I guess the risk is the part is specific not general. Other option is if you can have it on stands in your garage for a while, steering rack removal is pretty simple (2 mounting brackets, 2 ball joints (separate by undoing the nut to the top of the threads, put a pry bar between the steering arm and control arm to put pressure on it then medium force on the side of the ball joint or top of the nut with a hammer to break it free) and then the trickiest bit is the splines to the steering rack (not too bad to undo, one nut then it slides out, but mark it first so you can reassemble it straight)
