Ive noticed on both ignition dumps you have posted are more than the max ignition timing on my car. What is the cause of this? Was my tuner being too safe? Or do you think that there could be such a variation in cars that my car is set to run 42degrees max(I think, this is what PFC shows as my peak ignition when I punch to red line in any gear).

Thats not how it works dude. Its not about peak timing in general but timing at full throttle which will be under 20degree's

why cant you?

Apparently mine is too old to be retrofitted to new spec. I suppose could re-use the housing itself but that's it.

On the flip side, when my car is ACTUALLY running, I am sure there will be the next generation hiflows out :P

so does anyone have any 1/4 mile times with their SS-1 yet?

would like to see how they run down the quarter.

regarding your gtr hiflow post below, how much hp will each turbo be after and what will the equiavalent garrett series turbo be?

if you can hiflow my R34 GTR stockers for $880 ea to either -7 or -9 range id be very interested.

Well, looking forward to see you guys making some thing work Properly with R33 GTSTs in the near future.

Update:

This is for a set of GTR turbos that we've asked to match port their housings and manifolds then do a high flow. We will be using ATR43G1 profiles in those with FNT turbine modifications, They are expected to make some where close to 350awkws at full capacity as a twin on 98 fuel.

Photos in comparison:

Those are photo of stock GTR manifolds:

^^

Above high flows should produce around 320HP each or about 520HP as a twin.

Also I've made a new housing for the SS-2, This housing is using a circular tube exhaust tunnel while the original SS-2 runs a trapezoidal tunnel.

It peeked 286.8rwkws @ 20psi and made 20psi by 3500RPMs.

9 sec dyno ramp, 98 fuel.

Its got a pretty smooth power delivery on road, it made the power very easily and didn't get hot either. The SSPU is touch bit more responsive, while this one had a bit more top end.

The difference in drivability is I could feel the beat of the engine with the SS2 as power and torque unleashes, like a powerful small V8 feel, while the SS1PU just goes WAHAAAA.. and I'm skiting.

But either way both of them are in my favorites.

Peak power was made when turbo bled down to 20ish psi

My turbo peaks boost at 17psi yet makes peak power at 16psi

True but with the way his waste gate controller works if you set it at 20psi it would probably bleed down to 16psi. doesn't really matter though I guess, good result.

The light blue with most of power is with gate controller the rest are not. 25psi peak then bleed to 20psi is about where its "happy". The SS2 in original housing reaches 20psi about 3800RPMs, its not as responsive but made more power. So there is a trade off between power and response.

Also notice the torque curve, of how its very wide spread that makes the strong and hard pull feel towards red line.

By the way this turbo on the test car is for sale with a discount. PM me if you are interested.

This is a hill climb competition footage sent in from one of our customer's S14 using ATR28G3 (268rwkws from memory) in Switzerland. enjoy

SS2 maxed at 320rwkws, the average was 315rwkws. But the power curve was more linear while this one had more mid range.

The Adaptronic ECU have turned up today. I've ordered the E420D basic:

This ecu comes with a large chunks of looms. It is slightly cheaper.

and the

Plug in RB25det ecu with metal casing.

Both of them has built in 4 bar map sensor (no afm yea~), they comes with software, and data cable.

I will be trailing the plugin ecu tomorrow, will post feedbacks and results when done, hopefully every thing goes well.

Ps. Did any one get a error message of:

[#10151] An unknown error occurred

when posting on this thread?

Why is this a good thing? I never understood everyone's obsessions with MAP sensors, more guessing and less accurate airflow information IMO.

Every thread over 100 pages seems to give it.

I think its an excellent thing to get rid of AFM. Map sensor can be accurately tuned, I see how it goes tomorrow.

Had a play with the software it appears that it can run either MAP sensor or AFM.

Why ?

For a start you get rid of a possible restriction in the intake (4" intakes here we come), there are different issues with running the afm in the cooler piping such as getting too much oil in it, this also means people dont have to buy pricey Z32 afms, MAP is less affected by driveability issues like blow off valves.

Most bigger hp cars seem to have MAP ecus.

Z32's are hardly pricey lol, you spend much more by paying for an ECU with MAP sensor capability.

Stao, is getting rid of your AFM not venturing a bit far from the stock setup?

Z32 afm retails for $300+. Plus you have the cost of nistune or a PowerFC. A PowerFC alone costs more than one of these ecus. The price of a nistune + z32 afm and you are at the same or more cost as this map ecu.

Speaking from the perspective of keeping everything stock looking in the engine bay. Im with Hanaldo on this one. I really like the idea of the Nistune because it looked like a stock ecu. Wouldnt it have been cheaper to buy 8bit z32 ecu's?. Ontop of that removing the AFM would make it easy to identify a modded car especially with a 4" intake or what not.

Rolls also makes a valid point in the the AFM is a good thing as the ls1 ls2 l98 boys seem to get better fuel usage, drivability & possibly mixtures? however the map tuned ones seem to make slighly more peak power but are heavy on fuel. (This is hearsay so need a tuner to clarify)

It seems like everyday we are moving away from the concept of a stealth street car which is what Stao's new R33 was supposed to be about and moving towards a track car setup that is asking to get pwned on the street!

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
