Harden up sunshine. How do you get offended by ppl explaining things properly the first time so you don't ask the question again.

I just quoted myself but this guy got offended and STILL asked the question again after it was written there in front of him!

Edited by Bond

Hyper flow answered it.

The smart ass rolls just annoys me he doesn't answer the questions just tells me I need the money.

Thanks for the help

Do you mind telling me the cost for this std turbo able to make 240kw?

Std high flow on a R33 turbo can do around 240rwkws I'm not too confident on 250rwkws how ever there's a customer's got 260rwkws.

You need injectors, ecu, cooler and free flow exhaust.

Get injectors from cleaninjection on ebay from USA for $400

Adaptronic ecu for $1100

Cooler kit $400 ebay special will do

Exhaust $800 3inch turbo back

Std high flow inc oil line: $960

All up: $3260 Assume DIY.

There's 6 or 7, I'll have to look them up.

Do, because it might be possible to rectify it, email pete or matt at nistune with the issues, they will get onto it quick smart and help you out, those guys are fantastic.

How does it feel to drive on the street?

It feels like 400rwhp :P

Nah it feels good. It doesn't actually throw me back in my seat as much as the ATR43G2 did, but it's definitely faster. Not as laggy as I thought it would be either, though I couldn't tell you exactly what time I hit full boost as I haven't had the game to take my eyes off the road yet :P

Yeh that's what I meant when I said I have to look more into it, I'll speak with Matt about it. And yeh, I'd be a bit disappointed if it turns out I do have to change ECU; Matt's support is fantastic and there's so much info and help on the forums.

If it is going into the knock map sounds like dodgy wiring for a sensor or a failed sensor. When it goes into the knock map certain features are turned off I think, things like closed loop etc. Post over on the nistune forums, you should get an answer within a day or so.

I don't have closed loop anyway, no o2 sensor. But yeh, the issue is my car was originally non-turbo and I've put the engine in it, so not all the sensors were installed and things like the traction control have been deleted. Apparently this motor or at least the ecu were originally automatic, so that's causing some issues. Small things like that.

Side note, car only made 318rwhp on the roller dyno. Mates car was also down 100hp from when it was tuned 2 weeks ago. Pinch of salt :P

ATR46 should do that fine. it runs a .70 comp with a 1.20 turbine. That turbo is designed for a XR6 upgrade. Will make the power, but not sure what response that would be.

Got my car finally finished, final very conservative tune ended up with 260rwkw at 15psi. My tuner didnt want to push it any further, that was with a ramp rate of 15secs. He said in shootout mode it would net about 275-280rwkw.

i only got to drive it for 100kms yesterday cause now my clutch pivot ball is broken again in my gearbox and i cant drive it!! But its SOOOO much fun, when it comes onto full boost at 4.5k in second and 3rd it throws you back till redline. Very fast :) but driving it slowly around you wouldnt know it has a big turbo, its only when u want to go and put the foot down that you notice the lag and need to throw it down 1 or two gears to get it in the sweet spot.

May need another muffler now, its very loud.

We did throw some more boost in it to see what would happen 18psi netted only a extra 3rwkw, but more midrange but he had to bring timing out of it. its 16psi and bleeds off to 15 in the top end.

Which turbo was it sorry? Dont know why people r not boosting it UP- when u have evos and stis running 20psi+ in many cases across the board, whats wrong with our RBs not handling generally more tan 18psi?? 15-16psi is just too low imo, when u can safely push the stock one to to 12 normally

It isn't about psi, it is the torque levels that break things. You stop turning the boost up when it stops making power or starts detonating, he said he went to 18psi with a 3kw increase up top, imo his tuner made the right decision.

I'm pretty sure who ever modified the actuator bracket didn't pre-load it (because its too hard lol). Load another 3mms into the extend that will hold 20psi flate. Once more boost is held up top it will bring the top end power even further. Have a play with it, you should be able to get around the 300rwkws mark on shoot out mod.

it is a ATR43G3.. The engines are old mate, pumping more than nearly triple the PSI what it came out with is dangerous. My tuner isnt in the game to tune a engine to blow up in a year, i have full confidence in the tune, i was there for most of the tuning, he spent 5hrs doing it. Turbo can no doubt take 24PSI but my standard engine cant.

It didnt not ping once on the dyno and he said it was really healthy, and could make it make 300rwkw if i wanted to, but he wasnt comfortable putting his rep on the line on such an old engine. Im happy with 270 odd on low psi, the way he has made it come onto boost dosent fry the tyres in second either so far, but i havent really pushed it yet.. The power curve is verrrrrry smooth keeps making power till 7300 cutoff.

hmm ill give my tuner a call on Monday about the actuator but i dont know if i can cbb for the moment, as he said he doesnt tune RB25's with standard engines past 280 anyway cause of to much risk.

Its VERY impressive atm, ill get a dyno sheet up.. i did notice it does come onto boost pretty late, like 4300 at 16psi thats with slow ramp too.

but i cant drive it anyway for the moment, gotta be towed away to get the clutch pivot ball replaced

So it could have made 300rwkw but when upping the booat it only made 3kw more and less timing?

Aslong as it feels awesome to drive. Its just a number in the end.

Evo's are poop. They run such massive boost to create power our cars will make with half that boost. Remember my old tune? 11psi for 244rwkw. Can an evo do that? Don't let this turn into another hijack like last time lol. My brothers car runs 35psi, its a rotor, its built for it.

lol no they don't sarge, evos wipe the floor with an RB in every single way.

    • 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 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
