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 previous tune was 345rwhp on 17psi with the now outdated ATR43G3 type A internal gate.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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
