Stock as 258kW on the wheels - hmmmm, expected that to be a bit higher. 25% loss.

Actually i know of a few that have run up close to 260kw - depends on the dyno. What's important is the gain, and i believe they have since backed it up on another (much higher reading) dyno since as well.

+1.

Dynos differ but as long as you compare before and after on the same unit, the % gain is real.

Then you can go to the factory stated power of 357kw and add the percentage gain.

My car read max power at the wheels of 268kW on GTech ProRR at 1880kg before I put the Y-pipe on and 299kW after

That is a massive gain for no ECU upgrade, translating into 398kW at the crank.

I can imagine what the AP would do on top of that!

  • 2 weeks later...

I watched an R35 at an Eastern Creek (WSID) day today run 11.1 and 125mph with the RE Customs AccessPORT tune in it. This was a tune file as emailed by RE Customs, flash it in and bam 125mph.

Car has a mid pipe and was running full weight, stocker wheels and tyres.

125mph tells the story, GREAT work RE Customs.

I'll post up details later, perhaps some pics and video.

i am shagged right now, looong day!

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
