Blown away by a r34 Gt-t

At present my rides a R33 GTS25t. The mods are a full 3inch exhaust from the turbo back, Apexi pod filter and a front mount intercooler. The boost has not been touched. According to the factory boost gauge, it reads a max. slightly above the +3.5 mark.

Today I was completely blown away by a R34 Gt-t. I had a word with the owner at the next lights and he said the car was stock. I am aware that in stock form they have more power. Do these cars have a greater potential than the R33s? What are the differences between the two engines? (like whats with the NEO).

I know the mods that I have are nothing special, but I thought it would have been a little closer. This thing just pulled away. Now I want one.

He he he, get yourself a bleed valve and take the boost upto 12psi. Makes a big difference.

I'd say your car is running mega rich too (intake and exhaust mods) so if you can spare the $$$ get something to bring the A/F down and you should be around the 170rwkw mark.

Jay, after reading a lot of the posts, their saying not to take the boost above 10psi (to be safe) with the standard turbo. I have a Apexi A/F gizmo in the glove box, which I had adjusted. Did'nt feel any difference.

Moving to canberra next week. Might see u driving around some time. Hope u live around Woden.

Cool, I'm in Woden a fair bit so I'll keep an eye out for you.

What's your car look like?

Have you got a series 1 or a series 2? If you've got the 2 they yeah, don't go above 10psi. 1's are ok up to 12psi but I wouldn't go further.

The Apexi thingy, what does it look like? Single knob, 5 knob, or a flashy blue screen thing?

Amir,

The GTT's have 206kw standard which is more than you will have atm.

i am running 9psi atm, its been fine... i was running 12psi, but kept hitting boost cut, so once thats been removed with a fuel cut defender (which i have to find... its here somewhere) i will be back up to 12.

i have a series 2 btw/

You can generally tell if she is running really lean as when I just got the new fuel pump on some how it was tuned to be tooo lean in the mid range.

I would flatten it, 1 bar of boost by 3000rpm but there would be no power so i backed off the accelerator off a little saw the boost guage drop to around 12psi then she would take off.

There was also ever so slight pinging.

Because I have a boost drop problem up top due to the small turbo and weak wastegate actuator it would take off at around 5000rpm when boost starts to drop.

Felt a bit like the R33's duel boost setup actually. :D

Because I have a Fuel Pressure bleed kit installed with the bigger fuel pump it was running really rich up top and to make the power and to bring the af's in order up top the mid range had to run lean.

I didn't like the way it was tuned so i richened it up my self roughly and it seems to go heaps harder from 2500rpm to 5500rpm but due to it still running rich up top it does tend to feel like it is choking a little.

Oh well.. New SBC this week and new turbo soon when it becomes available. then ecu tune :( :burnout:

It sounds bad but I'm starting to have sleepless nights hehe :D

Sound Familiar... :burnout:

Jay,

Its a 95 GTS25t, white, white + chrome 17's, got QLD No. plates on it at the moment. Looks stock from the exterior except for the exhaust tip and tint.

The Apexi thingy, is a Apexi air fuel controller, with a single knob.

Ex-static and Macka, I'll get a mechanic that I met in canberra to install a bleed valve and then up the boost to 10psi. Wonder what power gain that will give, compared to what I have now? Hope it doesnt loose traction too much as the wife gets **** scared as it is.

yeah 10psi with front mount isnt too bad not a great deal faster my car didnt wheelspin at all with 255s until i put the hiflow on.

12 is alot better and is still stable on the turbo,

Relax run it at 12 when u hear clunk clunk say to misses aaahh **** my turbo is blown have to get it fixed and bolt up a turbo with metal wheels :lol:

The R34 GTT is some 70kg lighter and has 48Nm more torque at 1200rpm less...it should pull away quite easily over a stock R33. Gear ratios i'd say are the same?

The power comes on earlier from the different turbo, NEO engine, more efficient intercooler & better exhaust flow ...technological advancement i guess :D

70kg lighter???

The R33 GTS25t is quoted as 1370kg (manual) & 1390kg (Auto) dry weight, this is written in the Nissan factory sales paperwork. Wet weight is in the low to mid 1400kg range. Mine was 1455kg (1/2 a tank of gas, + a few kg for this & that in the car)

Put your R34 on a calibrated weigh bridge & I think you'll be surprised how heavy it really is! The magazines (HPI etc...) & various web sites claim 1410kg for the R34 GT-t, & that's dry weight!

well as far as i know, on paper the only difference is a revised exhaust system, larger intercooler, more efficient plumbing and different turbo....

the NEO engine does something with cam changing i believe? ie. like honda's VTEC and it probably assists in abit more power too...

my R34 isnt here YET. Its currently at the compliancers getting the necessary work done to it, and then the compliance plates ordered and then registered. approx. 13 days!!!

i'll let you know when i get it! :P

Both the R33 GTS25t & R34 GT-t (is it GT-25t or GT-t?) RB25DET engines have variable timing. The VCT is for improving bottom end/mid range torque, the same as the later SR20DET.

Any plans on your R33 gtst?

Aiming for the 300kw mark?

Hey G'day Minh !

Yeah Adelaide has been good so far mate :) Cheaper insurance down here too!

I've got lots of plans for the car mate, it's just convincing my missus to sign off on the $$$ to carry them out :) 300+rwkw is what I'm aiming for.

How's the Nissan Skyline WRX & Subaru GTR goin' ? :D You still drivin' a Rex?

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
