Hi all, i recently have done a few mods to my r33,

- high mount to4e

- 720cc injectors

- 040 fuel pump

- sard fpr

- greddy ultimate

- greddy plenum

- fuel rail

- new cooler piping

- turbosmart boost tee running 18psi backing to 14psi.

it made 220kw at the rears on 16psi at 6200rpm(limiter set at that, which im pretty pissed about, im thinking its the turbo not making the power, but i need a workshop that can tune it better as i aint 100% happy with the power and tune, any thoughts?, ive previously had an s13 with an rb20 which had link ecu, to4e, fuel pump, ignitors, cooler, exhuast, 15psi that made 320hp, give and take a couple of hp due to different dynos, but my rb25 isnt making the power it should?any ideas will be muchly appreciated?...thanks. Ive heard about Matty Spry if anyone know his contact details or what his workshop is called pklease let me know thanks

Please talk through past experience, thanks

G'Day GHO57,

Im the tuner at EFI, I dont normally post on here as that is Ricks (whitey) thing,

The power that you are making in very respectable with a T04E.

One thing to remember that a T04E does come in may different housing and wheel trims and sizes.

Your 220rwkw works out to around 300rwhp which on 16 psi is pretty good.

Its a little lower than 35R sort of power figures with an older style turbo you have to expect that.

I would maybe ring your tuner and ask why the rev limiter is set too 6200, as this is pretty low for a 25. If the power is dropping off then maybe look at camshaft timing as this is a good give away for horsepower falling early.

You say your boost controller is hitting 18psi, then dropping to 14 psi? Do you mean its spiking to 18psi then dropping to 14psi higher in the rpm? if this is the case, Its sounds like you may have a compressor out of flow or a miss match on the exhaust housing side e.g. too small exhaust housing.

How is the drivablilty of the tune? does the car start and drive well? does it use a excessive fuel when not driven hard? These are things you have to take into account other than power figures.

Id give your old tuner a bell, and just ask them. They where obviously good enough to go to in the first place, and they may have explanations for all your questions and even options on how to remedy any issues you have.

Failing that Matty can be contacted on

All good common sense there.

One of the big ticket items on your list is the greddy plenum. Just because you paid plenty for it doesnt mean it well net you a massive power gain.

At that mod level it would brobably do bugger all and may even cost you some down low squirt.

thank you to all that have replied, fuel economy is better than it was stock, im getting more km's out of a full tank of 98optimax, and with the mods im fairly happy with the consumption atm, yes i am aware the plenum may not do much in power gains, but for future plug changes, more spacious room in the enigine bay i went with it, its a genuine greddy plenum yes it costs big bucks, but hey its not something ill be thinking of changing later on & i dont want a chinese brand that doesnt fit or needs modifying to fit, but the turbo on the other hand, yes but a standard turbo could make 300hp atw, dont understand why a t04e isnt capable especially on 16psi making more power, yes it spikes to 18psi the backs on to a steady 16psi, cheers for all the info guys please pm me a workshop that is able to help me cheers.

If you have good coils you shouldn't need to gap your plugs down to 0.7mm - all you're doing is hiding a weak spark.

Try opening them back up to 1.0 or 1.1 mm and see if that helps your idle, obviously if it starts breaking down under load at higher rpm though (at 18psi and not insane power you should be right if the coils are in good nick) you'll need to either close them up a little bit or invest in stronger coils. IMHO it's worth looking at a set of LS1 coils or something similar if your ECU can drive them, it doesn't sound like you have an issue with upgrading with an eye to the future :(

thanks for that, yeah the coilpacks are brand new, i dont know why but "they" said to me that i needed a cooler plug(which is correct for higher boost levels), but yeah im taking it to get it dynoed again on the 15th-08-09 so it will be interesting to see what is stopping it, cheers all.

Big Thanks to EFI PERFORMANCE for their help so far. Appreciated

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s

      It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
