I run -7's with a shitty exhaust and stock afm's. With id1000's and a walbro 400 fuel pump I make 325kw on 20psi with E85. If I fix my exhaust and chuck some bigger afm's on I'd probably crack 350kw.

It'd be much easier to do it with -9's and I don't think there would be much more lag involved.

What exhaust you going for?

Ok, had a play.

Your car is obviously tuned in 3rd gear going by the speeds. It's a bit rough but you get the idea.

3950: N= 176 P= 215

4400: N= 252 P = 300

4800: N= 306 P = 375

5244: N = 326 P = 415

5644: N = 344 P = 445

6100: N= 350 P= 460

6500: N = 342 P = 472

Take into consideration how they were loaded up for the runs and whatnot.

Just out of curiosity...

I have a set of -5s on my std RB26DETT and i'm only making 300kw on 22psi...

The things I noticed are my actuators are set at 8psi and I have 600cc injectors coupled with a Walbro 255 pump.

Are these going to be an issue or is it a tuning issue?

EDIT- Using 5speed from RB25 and 4.08 S14 Diff in an S15

Thats what im trying to figure out! My injectors hit 100% duty cycle on full boost thats why I thought my pump or injectors were maxing out but doesnt make sence I should be making 300kw on less than 20psi id have thought...

Previously I had valve float but that has been rectified.

Nothing at the moment as I'm content with the power. I think I'll get more gains if I upgrade my actuators 1st and see how I go.

Eventually I'll rip the cat out and the 3" exhaust and replace it all with 3.5".

Was 4th gear he doesn't tune in 3rd

Well the 255L was an upgrade on the SR lol. What should I be aiming for when I buy a new one?

The pump provided its getting the right voltage should have an issue with that power. I think it's time to put your inspector gadget hat on and start investigating.

I'd say, once again, attention to detail on the setup is where the better results are. Big, size matched exhausts blah blah.

Got a sheet Nick?

Exactly.

I had 340rwkw with -9s on 98, but it wasn't a stock engine - and that is where the extra bits/gains come from

I see!

An actuator upgrade will do it good.

Yeah, if you want to get over the 350 rwkW mark, go 3.5".

+1

Other thing is the turbos are REALLY laggy.

I get 18psi by 6000rpm and power drops off completely at 22psi at 7500rpm so theres no point revving past there...

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
