This is recent and yet interesting result sent in from a customer running a SS2 turbocharger with a R34 GTT Auto. It was used as a bolton replacement internally gated.

It has:

Blitz front mount return flow cooler

1000 cc injectors

255 pump JJr front pipe

Z32 AFM

Nistune

E85

Stock Auto with a transmission oil cooler

300rwkws @ 17psi of boost:

So car is booked in for a tune on thurs. previous tune was 345rwhp on 17psi with the now outdated ATR43G3 type A internal gate. Now has the later version with the updated comp housing i think, ball bearing cartridge and type B housing (thanks to Stao for uprading me for free!). Tuner has recommended to block off the BOV after i asked if the stock one could hold 20psi. Cant wait, havent boosted for about 3-4 months :(

Its extremely important remembering to preload the actuator as the tuner's tuning. keep on preloading if are seeing boost tapering off before the desired level. It might be 5mms or could be 15mms, the more you load it the higher up top boost level it will hold, more boost makes more power.

4-5mm preloaded on it at the moment. I've never had the boost tapering off issue, infact its been the opposite with mine, pressure increasing towards redline.

Good luck Landscribble, hope the kw's flow freely :)

I've got an g3 type A, so it's definitely possible to get a result.

Thanks, i hope aswell but now im not really fussed if it doesnt match Stao's results, aslong as i can drive the thing im happy. I know the turbo's can make the power having made 279rwkw previously by a different tuner, i chose to go the type B for a little faster response.

I preloaded mine Around 8 or so mms, With a 14 pound spring, it boosts to 23 psi, tapering down to ~20psi now.

I find it very wierd its even getting to 23 psi, ( boost controller is Off )

Does this mean to much preload?

Ah you could have bought my SS2 instead.....comes with R33 coupe :whistling:

I think its a good boost level. Usually the boost curve starts to spike then drop. with more preload it starts to hold, and if over loaded the boost starts to creep. Thats I usually adjust mine with internal gate.

Ill prob remove the controller all together then, as it might still be affecting it even plugged plumbed in.

It does feel alot more consistent when boosting now.

If youve got it able to hold 20 off the spring (peaking 23) that is really good.

Provided your car is tuned at that level I give you the big thumbs up.

Just watch it when the weather changes as that can make it jump :)

Car is tuned for 22 pound tapering down to 14-16 pound.

So....not really tuned now..
I will be getting a new low manifold/external gate soon so im hoping to hold of on a new tune until i get those.

Question: How do Dyno Tuners measure Boost ( pressure )?

Might be a dumb question, but just want to know how they measure.

After having the car at a workshop for 8 business days and not tuned, and it getting put of , i went and drove it home on the nistune basemap.

Cars now booked in next thursday arvo to get tuned by Matt from nistune on a mainline dyno(apparently the dyno of truth so the young kiddies tell me..lol)

Going to tune it on 98 and wmi disconnected first and get the best out of it , then connect it up and go from there..

cheers

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
