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!

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
