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

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
