I got my R33 Auto tuned with specs below apart from the VG30 rear,

My Question is.. should I see more power once I put the Vipec on and retune?

My goal once fitted and tuned is 250rwkw(that would be around the 275-280 if it was manual so thats about all for a stock motor) and quicker spoolup and midrange.

Are these realistic expectations?

do you mean going from one ECU type to another?

then if thats your question, no as the ECU doesn't make power

the state of the tune, so going from a remap / PFC / HKS etc to Vipec wont make any difference in power

and if it does, your old ECU wasnt tuned properly

if you mean from stock ecu to Vipec then yes, youll make heaps more power (everywhere)

For some reason its gone out of tune, dunno why, Ive been told that the stock computer still has too much control and a standalone would get longer lasting results.

It now pings on high boost(15psi) and blows black smoke out the pipe most of the time, and is slowly getting worse, Have been running on low boost(10psi) for months now.

I realise the change of ECU wont give me a better HP figure but thought the bigger housing and a bit more boost on a standalone ECU with a good tune might do it.

Also.. always runs Vortex98 and was slowly getting worse even before changing the rear housing.

Another question is what type of cat are you running?

i had an xforce on my car for 6 months before it failed and my car was knocking all over the place. Chinese = bad.

Im not sure if everyone will agree with me but id say you should get a good after market fuel pump at those power levels.

2 guys in Sydney that i know running the same hiflow but with stock housings are making 280rwkw@20psi on their RB25's.

If I can get somewhere around that I will be stoked.

If i dont get the result from the hiflow what would be the next stepup from the hiflow?

Something in the 300-350rwkw region but with minimal lagg so as not to suffer too much with the auto?

I plan on building a forged motor in the future to run a bit bigger setup but wanna max out what I have at the moment!

HKS 3037 Pro S running E85 will do the job quite nicely.

    • This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking 
    • Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?
    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
