I just got the car tuned today at Hi Tech Dyno.

Boost was put up from 9psi to 12psi and made a little over 180rwkw.

I have a cat back exhaust, the rest stock. Also the electronic boost controller is not stable.

I think i have marked the correct boost settings. Bottom one is on low which spikes then goes back down.

My next plan is to replace the stock front pipe and replace the stock air box with air pod intakes plus a better boost controller.

well airbox & pipes will be fine

There is another reason your not making power, cat perhaps or inexperienced workshop? could be dyno settings even but realistically you should be 200-220rwkw

Im running GT-SS admittedly, but i'm making 250rwkw @ 12psi - stock GTR dumps (not R34)

Before that i made 250rwkw on 1bar with the stock ECU & compliance cat...

Plenty of people running 240-250rwkw @ 1bar on the stock ECU/turbos etc, so you shouldn't be too far behind

Have i marked the correct lines for the boost? low and high?

What gains should i get with an upgraded front pipe and better cat than compliance cat and pods and boost controller?

looks like uve marked the right lines... but noticed the speed???

was it done in 3rd gear??? surely that cant be 4th gear...

i think the dyno operators messed up ur run

Have you run a car up in 3rd and 4th? It really makes no difference to power at the end of the day.

please stop looking @ ebay

For $150 - i CANNOT be good regardless of rating

y not???? aslong as it all lines up, just use plenty of exhaust cement to make sure it doesnt leak,,,after all its just a tube of steel... worst case scenario you loose $150 on a dodgey product, maby even get a refund if you threten to leave bad feed back.... in the end you could end up saving hundreds on a brand named equivalent...............

and a gtr on 12psi should be running way above 180kw,,,, my gtst with just an exhaust got 160rwkw... with the standard actuator i can only boost it to 10psi and i recon i get atleast 180kw (feels like it anyway)...

maby your engine has had a hard life or the dyno guys did a dodgey job

From what I know, Hi Tech is run by John Keen who used to (think he still does) race professionally and has worked on many race cars over the years... Always see race spec porches in his workshop and some pretty mad imports.

So as far as the workshop goes they have a pretty solid reputation. Give them a call and ask to talk to John Keen himself, pretty sure he'd be able to sort it out and give you plenty of feedback. He doesn't beat around the bush and is very straight forward with anything mechanical.

But beware, his work isn't always the cheapest. But guess that's the price you pay for quality mechanics.

he has a nice dyno setup and certainly knows how to strap the car on for max traction,

but seems to struggle with ebc setups

10 minutes dyno time = $200 WTF?

and this was on several occasions

never again.

hmm 180 Awkw's doesnt sound that bad or is that 180 rwkw??

my R33 gtr was only making 210awkw @17 psi with a new greddy boost controller, pfc, dumps cat back, air intake,cp pistons

so 180kw doesnt sound that bad for only 12 psi, unless there is something wrong with my car too.

:)

^ your results are the sour ones mate :)

210 @ 17psi... thats nasty bad.

1. Stock turbos shouldnt be pushed that far anyhow

2. If you only made 210 with aftermarket ones, id be even more worried about something not being right

yes too high for stock turbos, thing was i was told they had bn rebuilt with steel wheels when i bought the car, only found out about a month ago they weren't so $13000 later with new turbos an some other goodies i got 385awhp @20 psi

what should i get just by adding a power fc?

powerfc SHOULD jump it by about 20-30 rwkw

I bought mine comletly stock and added a catback exhaust. Got it dynoed and it got 189 rwkw.

Eventually added front pipes, powerfc and cam gears and dynoed at 250rwkw @ 13psi. (on a not too aggressive tune too )

I gotta add, my car did come fitted with a high flow cat.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
