Hi guys i put my skyline a the dyno on friday it got 179.9rwhp. It is a R33 series 2 gtst manual.

The guy who dynoed it for me said it i running so rich when on boost it is having trouble burning the fuel and it should have at least 30hp more, the mods on the car are.

bosch 040 fuel pump

3" turbo back exhaust

front mount intercooler

after market coilpacks

iridium plugs (regapped to 0.7mm)

standard air box with k&n pannel filter

running 8 psi

He said to fix it i will need to put a after market ecu, so i want to put a apexi power fc in but he wants to sell me a $3500 computer.

Has any one had this running rich problem before and how you fixed it and is there any thing wrong with the apexi power fc.

Your help would be great.

still awaiting final tune, have decided to do a few things before chucking it back on the dyno for that

but mine was street tuned and got 230hp. Not bad but me and tuner both in agreeance that could be better. Like i said though postphoning getting the better figures with a dyno tune till I've added my front facing plenum.

i thinkk..... I got 228.7hp @ 10.5psi (have a slight top end boost drop, still trying to work that out but should be sitting at constant 12psi)

about 200rwkw is achievable for a car with your mods, depending on a few factors

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
