You'll also note that the top end is only running 10psi. The boost drop off in the top end is common with standard turbochargers when pushed hard and can be overcome with a better boost controller.

Seems like an EBC is the way to go.

are we straying off topic?

maybe?

nah...not us

I saw all the extra replies thinking "Awesome. Topic has really kicked off" But nope, I was wrong lol

BTW, Happy Bday Dr DiRT!!! :(

Cheers guys.

whats the difference again?

w e l l o n e s g o t a p r e t t y d a r k g r e e n b a r u n d e r t h e i r a v a t a r w i t h t h e w o r d "a d m i n i s t r a t o r" w r i t t e n i n i t a n d t h e o t h e r o n e i s l i g h t g r e e n a n d h a s t h e w o r d "m o d e r a t o r" w r i t t e n i n i t.

but both mean the same as they are a clear sign of homosexual tendencies. :(

what's funny is how many people would actually believe him and fork out cash only for him to fit it and wind some timing into it and get a better result...He's happy he's got his cash and the customer is happy but none the wiser of his easy earnings.

yup ping is power.... obviously.

I'm sorry. Forgiveness PLEASE!!! :(

It's not your fault, mate. At the risk of sounding on-topic, your car is making the right horsepower for the mods you've got but there are two things you need to do to make it a much, much better/faster/more pleasant car to drive.

Step 1/ Sack your bleed boost controller and go buy a Turbosmart Eboost II

Step 2/ Sack your tuner. They may be competent but they're completely full of shit.

A quality EBC will bring the boost on early and keep it there.

A quality tuner will make sure your engine lives once you do the above.

Good luck, mate.

Thanks 2rismo!!

I'll look into an eBoost II once the funds permit me to. As for the tuner, I'll have a chat with him about getting those AFRs and see where I go from there.

Cheers again mate.

Now, back to the off-topic war...

ADMINISTRATORS vs MODERATORS: Battle of the homosexuals In Green :(

Although my power curve is more agressive then this. Maybe my turbo has been high flowed?

Mate all you have to do is press a button and change the scale to look a bit more agressive, look at the RPM and power to compare.

yes Ping is Power according to some.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
