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...

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
