Got my R32 GTR's ecu upgraded to a Vipec recently. With Turbo-back exhaust and R34 turbos and HKS EVC boost controller set to 14 psi, it's making 205 atw kw. I would eventually like it to make around the 250 atw kw.

My question is what's the most cost effective upgrade to do next?

My mechanic suggested to upgrade the fuel system and a re-tune after that. Other are saying cams and more boost.

Any suggetions?

get a new mechanic.

Fuel system is good for over 250rwkw. Maybe change your fuel pump to a newer one

Cams are not needed for a while yet....

Just up the boost and get it re-tuned. Check for any restrictions too. (exhaust etc)

being a tax payer how about using the money to lobby the govt to spend our money on infrastructure so the nation has an asset rather than a larger current account deficit OR more tuning?

That worked....................lol

an hour of dyno time? or a few hours?

8 deg retard on exhaust and 4 deg advance on inlet generally works best on stock cams.

these figures are crank degrees so 4 and 2 on the cam wheels.

id buy a Techedge wideband and have it hooked up to the Vi-PEC. With the autotune function enabled it will constantly analyze and alter the tune for optimum results. Or if you want a dash style interface similar to a power fc handcontroller for the Vi-PEC a EM PRO II engine monitor would be a wise investment.

leave it to the wideband O2 control. the autotune doesn't alter the fuel map properly when the cells are changing as rapidly as they do driving around town. (i have tried it and it messes the map up)

ok sweet. good investment though...i love mine :D

As far as i am aware it is, god i hope so, i allready have plans for the money haha :D

yep definetly is. money will start being deposited in april unless you didnt do your tax return last year or the year before (cant remember which year they are going off). will be getting deposited straight into the account that you used aswell.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
