Hi,

I just bough an R34 GTR Vspec. It's stock standard, except for catback impul exhaust and performance air filters.

What are the basic bolt-on mods i can do to get more KW from it? I spoke to someone who said i can increase the boost, get it tuned for the extra boost, and do a few other things (i cant remember what they were) and i could get it to 250 rwkw.

Some form of engine management - Power FC etc

Front pipes and a high flow cat if its a crap one.

Run 1bar+ boost and you'll get roughly 230+kw@ all 4 wheels.

Maybe playing around with an exhaust cam gear if you want.

Hey man,

congrats with the car! pop a power fc on, an ebc and a high flow cat and you should see 250ish at 4 wheels. Mine did the 255 with the mods there and its a great package.

+1 on the stock dumps, they are fine

ps: never stops though, expect to empty your wallet as you hunt for more power!

The simple recipe for 250kw in an R34 GTR is as follows:

high flow cat

good cat back exhaust

14psi boost via decent boost controller (buy one now, you'll need it in future anyway, trust profec B II is good, simple and cheap).

Apexi power FC

high flow panel filter, or pods if you like them

adjustable cam gears

front pipes can do them if you want but they are not 100% needed. but they are easy to change so may as well do them (HKS ones are the go).

get the boost controller, power FC and the cam gears tuned together on the dyno. it will take no more than a couple of hours and net you easily the 250awkw you want. it's a really sweet spot for a GTR. doesn't cost much. doesn't hurt reliability much. doesn't hurt response at all (better than stock) and the car will be great fun to drive. it's basically what you expected a GTR would be like standard!

One other thing I'd suggest if you like driving hard and plan on some track days is get an oil cooler. it has lots of good benefits and will help your RB26 live a long life. :D

And don't expect your clutch to last long if it's standard..

yep, the above mods will get you the 250awkw but if you really want to enjoy it you'll need:

clutch first.

some decent tyres

a few little suspension mods to get the most of the power.

some decent brake pads and fluid

and that should keep you happy for a while. if you want to go harder than that prepare to open your wallet wide.

What is everyones boost running stock? mine with just a cat back and stock everything else seems to sometimes hit 1.1 bar and then hover around the 1 bar point.

Is this common? It seems high to me but the car is basically stock except for a crap cat back

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
