Hey all im fairly new to the skyline world, bought an R32 gtst M spec series 2 with a few tastefull mods including

HKS 25/30 ball bearing

GTR injectors

Ballast resistors

Bosch 044 in tank fuel pump

Hybrid front mount

full 3 inch turbo back exhaust

Turbosmart manual boost tee

ECU tuned by mines

Supposedly done 220rwkw on 16psi on dyno but never saw the sheet for proof

Atm running 12 - 14 psi daily comes on full boost at 4000rpm and pulls like a train :D

Just wondering whats next? inlet or exhaust manifold or should I save for the RB25DET?

Every opinion welcome

get a z32 afm and have it the ecu remapped. run 17psi and you will have a nice quick r32. also replace that boost controller with a turbotech boost controller for faster spool and better boost holding.

you could also get cam gears and have them set up.

power fc.... or nistune asap

unless the mines ecu was mapped for EXACTLY those mods then you are playing a very dangerous game!

i'd also go an ebc for faster and better boost holding

+1 on the ebc too

remap that ECU, I believe that mines ecu is tuned for japanese fuel, it won't do any good on our crappy 98ron fuel and get a proper boost controller, that turbosmart thingo is only good for boost spikes.

If you're on a budget go buy a turbotech ball bearing valve, and sell that turbosmart junk and make a profit.

the mines ecu will be tuned for whatever mods were on the car when in japan... and it will be a really old tune aswell...

run low boost... then get a real ecu or a tune :P

2530 turbo gets about 230 max kw so theres no point spending 1000 plus for 10 more kw.

keep the 2530, Bosch 044, Hybrid front mount, exhaust and sell the rest like GTR injectors etc and save for a RB25, unless you want to upgrade to a bigger turbo because 2530 wont get much more.

you'll get 230rwkw or so out of that setup when you get an ecu and an ebc and a tune.

dont bother with the 25 - it'll cost way more than its worth seeing as you can only pick up another 50rwkw or so on the stock bottom end anyway... an you might be buying someone else's problems....

a built engine is worth it... but then your gonna be looking at COIN

...

my advice...

stick with what you have... get an ecu and an ebc. get suspension (coilovers, camber, castor, pineapples, sway's) and enjoy the living hell outta it

I cant agree more!

power fc and ebc sounds like the go, the ecu it has atm must be tuned fairly rich, it blows a fair bit of black smoke when on full boost and on start up so hopefully it will be alright on 12psi.

only reason i want an rb25 is for bottom end :(

cheers for the input :)

For a cheap good option get a remap $200ish+dyno (which is almost as good as a powerfc, just can't keep an playing with it), and the turbotech boost controller is way better than the boostee, and only cost $30-$40. Should be good for a more responsive 230RWKW :P

the rb20 injectors max out at 200kw (like mine are currently). For any power above that, GTR injectors are a must and its evident with his 220kw so far.

Depending on where you live, get a turbotech bleed valve and a remap from CEF11E.

You could also get adjustable cams to improve the curve, not so much power gain but could result in a better low-midrange.

      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

      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)?
