How Do I Get Max Effect With Stock Parts?

Hello.

I know it's somewhere in this forum, but i can't find it.

I've got the RB25DET engine and i have mounted an fmic and a bleed air valve.

I have finally learned to get of the line with 0.8bar (~12psi), and the shifting 1-2-D goes smooth.

But today when we were out to test i've got beeten by almost everyone with similar effect. I got 2-3 carlengths of the line, and a FWD with 300hp manage to get past me in 200meters. :)

So how can i get the engine to give more hp with a very limited amount of money? (I know i need a larger downpipe, but the rest.)

Is it possible to change the fuelmaps in the standard computerbox?

I've tried to talk to people here, but noone knows anything about the car here in Sweden, so all i can do is ask you on the other side of the world for help. :P

If you have an awd auto you will be losing about 70kw in driveline losses. You cannot easily tune your engine unless you have a series 2 stagea. For series 1 i would suggest a Greddy E-manage would be the best way to get some tunability. The next best alternative would be to get an Apexi SITC and SAFC (try ebay). BTW an electronic boost controller will build boost quicker than a bleed valve and hold it better.

The fmic will not be giving you any more power at this level. If you have not already get a highflow panel filter for your standard airbox. You need a 3in turbo back exhaust ( I have a split dump, some people prefer a bellmouth). Then if you have access to a four wheel drive dyno you could advance the base timing by means of the cas ( while using some reliable knock detection gear). This will give a little more zip and show up your air/fuel problems. You should get an SAFC at least or go straight for the Greddy E-Manage.

Good luck!

ps there is heaps of information here. Read the DIY section above - read all of the Jaycar thread one quiet night - even if you don't get the Jaycar gear you will learn a lot!

Its good to hear your not afraid to get out there and have a go! Remembering the old stag has 207kw and weighs 1700kg I wouldn't be to surprised that

a 300kw car that probably weighs half the amount got over you :P

The answer to your question is CASH and lots of it other wise you are just going to do damage to something ( probably not the answer you wanted to hear)

Good point! Its not too hard to get a 2wd manual skyline up to 200kw atw but to get my S1 Stagea over the 200AWKW mark (due for dyno in about 3 weeks hope to get 200 -220awkw) has cost me over $6000 not counting suspension and brakes. I hate to think what Tangles has spent to get over 240AWKW but I am guessing it would not be less than $10k!!

Sorry, my bad. The car i was against got ~220kW/1300kg. I got 173/1600.

The things i have heard is that's possible to get ~200kW in the stag without big modifications.

All i want to know is how high i can get with standard specifications, and how i do it.

The goal is 372kW (500hp) so i will change almost everything, but not this year. :P

he said his car owes him 30-40k at this point

SAFC would be the easiest and cheapest way to get near your target. You won't be able to adjust the timing (as you would with full engine management computers like PowerFC's) but just leaning out the AFR's will help.

If you don't care about the auto box smoothness or longevity then a PowerFC or full engine management system will get you where you want to go.

So it's a power fc i need?

Which make and model do fit?

I've recognised that the R33 RB25DET got an other box. Is there any one that's "plug and play" or do i have to cut all wires and hope?

Is there any way to manipulate the stock box?

I know there's a really big jump at 200kw, where turbo, injectors and the ecu runs out and it will be a lot of money to get over that. :angry:

If you really want 373kw down the track you'll be converting to a manual gearbox which will open up the possibilities for an ecu. In the meantime i suggest you get a greddy e-manage or an safc and sitc which will do you til then and you can sell them when you want to upgrade.

I want the auto transmission to be there when i'm finished. :angry: I know most of in will have to be changed, but i need a challange and a goal.

What parts of the gearbox is controlled by the ecu? And how can i get them controlled sepratly?

Do anyone got the pinout för the stagea ecu? I have found the pinout for a R34, but is it the same? What i've read in here there's som changes in the pinout. :S

And i know there's a risk that the turbo will break, and that's a risk i will take. :)

It is possible to beef up the auto box to handle higher power.

BTW you haven't confirmed whether you have an S1 Stagea or S2 (neo engine, tiptronic). I am assuming you have an S1.

The computer that controls the auto is inside the main ecu. I have just been through this with my car. My engine management functions are now carried out by a chipped RB32 ecu but it has had to be piggybacked onto the stock ecu - a wiring nightmare which is beyond my abilities and i wouldn't recommend it. I would strongly recommend the Greddy E-manage or it may be possible to fit a complete S2 ecu and loom in which case it can be fitted with a Nistune chip.

Another member has kindly translated the S1 pinout from the Japanese manual and if you send me an email address I can send it to you as an attachment. [email protected]

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
