hey guys, got the car tuned last week, really really happy with the response Sam put into it down low, but I think a little somethings missing uptop...

or do you guys think this is about right? just a thought... was a 32 degree day and Sam's weather machine wasent working, so we had to try to manually correct the graph, as well as this, i think the timing was retarted back a little.... the next thing Sam and I were planning on doing was cams, but as I am a student there is a decent amount of time between each mod being put in :)

mods are in the sig, but main things engine wise are:

hypergear tr43

a little t piece manual boost controller set at about 15-16psi

nismo 740cc injectors

bosch pump

z32 afm

Exhaust cam gear

hybrid intercooler

turbo back 3 inch zorst and new metal cat

powerfc + commander

pod + cai + heatsheild

it is really responsive IMO and pretty fun to drive... just goes a little flat at the top.

max of about 8~15 knock, got a little missfire though :D

was that with cams? was that on a rb30/25?

dont forget, was on a pretty hot day, im sure the Garrett item would be better, but, i think Tao's R&D is coming along well :D

appart from response, what do you think of max power? little low for a 450hp turbo? or does making more response lower the overall max kw?

Thanks for the input.

Adam :)

215RWKW @ 16psi?

My inefficient highflow made 250RWKW @ 16psi.

So yes its a bit low. And certainly hits the wall at 5000rpm.

If you expect to get decent results buy decent gear. Otherwise you will just be annoyed with yourself for not spending the extra $$$ and end up doing things twice.

The cheapest decent turbos are Garrett ones, anything less than that is a waste of money.

RB25, stock capacity, stock head :)

Peak power isnt too bad, its roughly what you should expect, maybe a tad more if it didnt nose over in the upper RPM (could be time for a better actuator)

damn... but you guys are using the better stuff i guess :D in terms of the actuator, we changed the one that was one there (7-12psi) because it wasent holding.. to a 14-20ish psi one but used the the bleed valve for the extra 1-2psi.

I understand why your saying that nytsky, and you probably are right, I dont want to get into an arguement about should have spent 1600-2000 instead of 850. I also did think it was quite low, but before I get fried, ponder this before responding:

I would have saved up the money, however the stock turbo I put on the car blew after about 9 months ( oil seals). Im a student, its hard to save and takes time, I could find standard turbos out there for ~350, but then they could just root on me in another 6 months, after all, they are about 14 years old. so I could not have a car for 2 months and save or buy something from new that would atleast get me going (without blowing straight off- eg ebay crap) and MAY be desent to make power...im still happier with my choice then using Melb's shitty public transport system.

that is a once off mate.

there are MANY people making alot more power with those turbo's.

the fact is, 215rwkw can be made with an R34 GTT stock turbo at like 12 psi..

so it's got nothing to do with the turbo.

soemthing else is going on there..

you did say something wasn't set up on the dyno properly.

go back again when it is all fixed.

and you have sorted the misfire.

and finally, dyno is a tuning tool etc etc..

a CA18 on NS made 255rwkw on 22 psi using a hypergear turbo.

and ofcourse the whole forum went on and on about how it was Trents Dynapack dyno and it was happy etc etc.

who cares.

go take it to another dyno for one run, and see what you get.

you may be right mate,

thing is, I dont mean to say it like im cocky, but it feels like its got alot more then 215kw... considering my car was doing a smidge under 200kw with the standard turbo, compared to that, this thing has a ton more kahonies, but I couldnt explain the low kw results.

i cant remember on the stock one, 300-400nm?

and I guess Sam didnt put the torque figures on this sheet, but on a the dyno we did previously to this tune (about 3 months before) when there was less power downlow but overall pretty much same uptop, it had 640nm@130kph, now it feels like more again, but obveously cant tell until perhaps another dyno run.

and the only difference in these 3 months is a new metal cat and fixed a small exhaust leak.

so that would explain why it feels like it pulls much harder no?

Because its bush bearing, and comes on in the later RPM - kinda gives you a 'rush' effect.

Same thing as what my GT-SS/RB26 feels like vs my GT30/RB25

GT30/RB25 felt heaps more powerful, but thats because it came on around 4000-4500rpm and felt like a rocket (sounded like one too)

The GT-SS's are making decent boost from the mid 3000rpm and it doesnt 'feel' as fast... but its certainly no slouch and i wouldnt be surprised if its faster than my RB25 even though its making 20-30rwkw less

yep, definetly feel that rush, but there is still alot more low-mid range because of Sam.

I know you guys say not to aim for a certain kw amount, but I would have thought this setup would be at a minimium of around 240kw, not 215kw.

and raz, I know others have made alot more power, I have no idea why its at this low level, but its not as if i havent put money into the mods,so I cant think of what would be restricting it except for a little missfire?

But isn’t this is a High comp NA RB25 with a Turbo kit bolted on? Probably started to detonate with high boost. Need to install a Thick head gasket to lower compression before add in more timing and boost. The max power as I've seen out of TR43 on normal RB25det is 261rwkws at 20psi.

it is, and in principle your right, but as others have said, and I believe as well, that it should have alot more power at 15psi then 215kw, and it hasent been detonating, just a little missfire.

secondly, keymaker, I do wish it i was recording it in awkw, but no, it is in rwkw unfortunetly. :)

Look this is from a Normal RB25det's dyno sheet of hypergear's website tuned by Sam. Car made 230rwkws at 14psi and this is not bad power curve. Other wise you can try Trent at Status tinning. He might be able to get more power, as Sam prefer safe tune, so it can be possible that it’s not tuned at its limit with your misfire issue.

I too would prefer a safe tune if i didn't have lots of cash to build and engine.

Get the issues sorted first before worrying about the dyno chart.

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
