What is the formula to achieve 400rwhp?

My injectors (also stock items) were at 72% duty at 250rwhp on 0.8bar boost. I've been told by my mechanic not to run more that 1.1bar boost through my high flowed turbo (R33) because of my internals. 300rwhp would be nice if I knew how to reach it.

I got to 296.9rwhp on the stock turbo, so all 300 requires is an upgrade turbo.

I'm using a GT30 500hp turbo on mine, Wolf 3D, Greddy plenum, R34 GTR intercooler on mine, but there are plenty of other setups that will give you similar power, a good tuner is a must.

Pauls car was one of many cars being set up for a Dyno comp to run on another Dyno so i would have to be stupid to jack up the power when its about to run in front of hundreds of people on a different Dyno.My Dyno was calibrated less than one month ago.

At our test day ( the day we got 411 out of Pauls car) we also had near standard GTSs making less that 200rwhp.If you use a very good pump and rising rate fuel reg plus a good ecu you can feed the samesort of power on stock injectors but use standard pumps and you will struggle to feed 300.We will get Dyno Dynamics to prove this car and post the results but it is really making 411rwhp, ask any sucker thats been silly enuff to go for a ride.

JimX, I wasn't disagrreing with you there, just saying that most of the dyno's we (SAU WA) tend to use in WA are the accurate ones, and we leave the high reading ones to Silvia owners who need all the help they can get:D

i DEMAND you take that back.. :shake: although im in qld.. i dont really care about dyno readings at the moment.. my car is pretty much stock.. 4.3 diff gears and exhaust (std dump) oh and its rb20.. i ran a 14.0 with an apparent 220.5 hp reading (this was with 1.0bar boost) in shootout mode at what i am lead to belive was subzero's dyno.. i know there is a lower time in my car because i used sh*tty tyres, screwed my start up and had axle tramp.. i think the best way is to find your mate with the power on the street and go from there.. but then again its illegal.. so organise something.. meet in the middle of aussie and use rolling starts.. then no one can blame sh*tty starts.. yea well i forget what the whole point of writting something was.. but just because you have all this wonderful power doesnt mean youll run a good time.. maybe a dyno is the only way to tell..

rbs13, I was only have a tease of all my mates with Silvia's, it's an on-going rivalry. I think there great cars, and the power to weight is in your advantage. I was beaten on the day I got 411 by a Datsun 1600 with an SR20 pumping out 433rwhp, so I have much respect for the engine:D

MRK25T, I don't recommend pushing the stock turbo as hard as I did to get that sort of power, but I was planning on replacing it anyway, so we upped the boost. With an aftermarket turbo you should be able to make 340rwhp easy on just over 1 bar, if your not then something isn't working right.

I've got a high flowed standard R33 turbo along with the stuff you have on your car (I have a powerFC though) and tuned at .8bar it only managed 252rwhp. I asked if it could get anywhere near 300 if I increased the boost to 1.1bar and they said youd be lucky to get 280. The car seems to be holding back.

Thats terrible. I'd be taking my car elsewhere, Mrk25t.

Indeed Hicks.

I've got a Z32AFM now (standard was maxing out) and i'm just thinking about getting a HKS2530 turbo to replace my high flowed one. I've never been to unigroup (or whatever the place is called) but from feedback on this forum they seem to be quite good.

Maybe I should get my car checked out by them first with a list of recommendations of what to fix/replace. Getting the car tuned is expensive :)

Mark, do you have cooler and exhaust?  Cos the power you are quoting is below what the stock turbo is capable, so I dont know where whoever sold you the turbo gets off calling it a high flow.

- somethiing is just not right there, sorry to say.

3" HKS catback exhaust + hi flow cat and front/dump pipe (probably no-name brands).

FMIC I think is Micks metalcraft

I also have regulator, pump, profec b, powerfc, clutch, adj cam sprocket (which wasnt touched in the tune), non ball bearing high flow standard R33 turbo, pod filter.

A good manifold will help, but I think you need to get the set up you have sorted first (thats what I would be doing) as you 'should' be getting alot more.

To give you an idea, I took my car to morpowa (here in SA) after having a tune and not being 100% happy. He (martin donnon) got me an extra 26rwkw, with no increase in detonation, and better idle and part throttle response.

He asked me what setup I had, told me what sort of power I should be expecting and low and behold, thats what I got.

Having someone who knows what they are doing makes a huge difference - bit like Steve SST and his wolf ecus :)

    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
    • Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
