i was just looking through this thread and saw the discussion about lammy426's power figures. you have to remember he is in england, and it's winter over there, so nice chilly air temps which will give much better power. if he was to bring it to australia and run it on a 30 degree day it would ping it's arse off and he would be making much less power. also lammy, you say "at the hubs" does that mean you are using a hub dyno? if so, they are known to give different results to wheel dynos

this one was done in winter but it was in a heated workshop,hub dyno's are more accurate than a wheel dyno ,and don't forget tiger white still as 10whp more than me but i don't know if theres much temp difference from aus to nz,anyway i still have a few bits to do so i might crack his record out of an rb25de+t

hub dynos might be more accurate than wheel dynos, but they often give totally different results. basically my point is, unless the 2 cars are run on the same dyno on the same day and tied down the same, you can't really compare them.

very true ,but i do look at gtst's dyno'd on the same one as mine,the one i have talked to at .85 bar only get around 280bhp ish ath. i've set my goal at 345+ same as tiger white, i don't know if i should get a topmount or a hybrid turbo my tuner said he can get more more power with a bigger wastegate because its creating heat what do you think, oh and he loves driving my car because theres no turbo lag and it'll outdo a gtst with more bhp,not top speed of course as i still have the 4.3 diff in

  • 2 weeks later...
  • 1 month later...
my hiflo stocker arrived i'm going to alter the wastegate and actuator abit before i fit it

all done and dyno'd,now we have 395bhp ath at 15.3 psi,i nearly fell over when he told me ,well pleased

lets see how long it takes for it to blow up lol.

Whatd u do to it and how much mulaa did u have to throw at it? :rofl:

just made the wastegate bigger and fitted a collins 12 psi adjustable actuator,my tuner was just concerned about the hg blowing,what is mulaa

mulaa (moola) = money lol.

Turbo? internals? intake plenum?. You basically bolted on some parts and made close to 400hp?! :rofl:

this is what i've done over 4 years http://www.skylineowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=142304 and with buying the car completely standard for £1905 and the mods have cost about £4000 with mapping

Hey all Thought I would post up mine as I got the car back from unigroup today.. A few little problems holding me back on power but should be an easy fix.

Model - R34 25GT

Engine - RB25DE

Modifications / Parts Used - R34 stock Turbo, Injectors, Manifold, 3 inch Dump/front pipe, Kakimoto Full Mega N1 exhaust, Walbro fuel pump

Engine Management Used - Power Fc with hand controller for R34 Neo

Fuel Used - BP Ultimate 98

Boost Used - 7 PSI

Dyno Tune Results - 160.5 KW at 6500 RPM

Misc- Went with the Power FC for the complete solution although there are a few problems that need to be sorted out. Like blocking the signal that looks for the TCS and sorting out how to operate the Solenoid that controls the valve in the Inlet manifold (if anyone knows a way to do this please let me know)

Costs - Parts: Aprox $2500, Labour: Free as I did all the work myself :blink: and Tune: $750

Allover things went really well.. A few unexpected problems, My VCT is switched off atm as its not getting a consistent amount of voltage so thats killing some power, Boost controller needs to get pulled apart to see what the problem is with it not sending the signal to the solenoid.. The only other real problem is the Valve solenoid thing in the throttle body/manifold, Have stuck it in the Top end range so its always open which is killing some of the low down power.. Having replaced the Stock ECU there is no signal to control it as its not on the GTT model.. If anyone else has had this problem before and found a way to solve it please let me know or if anyone can suggest some ways to control it im all ears.

Once these few problems are sorted It will push out an easy 180+ with real good torque (dont have the exact specs as its not tuned.)

Cara (MissR34) may be able to help with the variable length manifold solenoid that you speak of... reason I suspect so is because she is running a PowerFC on her R34 RB25DE NEO.

Sounds good so far :sick: did your power curve taper off after 5500 RPM or is the power at 6500RPM your peak power? Well done doing all the work yourself, saves a hell of a lot in labour costs! Got pics of the engine bay?

I'll eventually get around to getting another power run done. There's been GReddy EBC, Gearbox Rebuild and Catback Upgrade since the last power run so hopefully should see some improvement.

I will have to check that out thanks N-dawg.

Peak power is at 6100rpm then tapers off to about 140kw at about 7000. Ill attach the dyno sheet so u can check it out.

I have a pic somewhere of the engine somewhere, just looks stock with all the stock piping etc.. just had to add a bit of 2.5" piping to reach the elbow onto the throttle body.

I managed to fix the boost controller today which is good.. the vaccum hose had been pulled off the part inside the boost controller itself, just loosened the clamp holding it on slid it back and redid the clamps.. Yay for easy fixes :) EBC is a Blitz Dual SBC with 4 presets.. I should set them to 8-9-10-11 haha stupid stock turbo, need to get a GT-RS i thinks..

VCT will be getting fixed on the 18th when it goes back for a retune and up the boost..

post-51757-1273124632_thumb.jpg

Any reason for running that boost level? Did you try more boost to see what the result would be?

Yeah the EBC was playing up and we couldnt figure it out so we could only use standard actuator pressure.. Gonna bump it up to 10 psi now that I fixed it then when the VCT is fixed up it will get a final tune. Will be looking at 180+ Ill get a torque curve as well to show.. Should be very fun at next Texi.. shame its soo far away..

Heres my long awaited (almost) finished product:

and good times :thumbsup:

We actually got it 5kw shy of 300 but wanted to make it safe as possible: @18psi this has a max knock of 20 which is nothing

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
