Hi,

Have the following ugrades:

-K&N Induction

-3 1/2" catback Exhaust

-Apexi PFC D Jetro

-GT2871R Turbos

-Turbosmart Boost Controller (set to 1.2 bar)

The power is not as good as I hoped it to be. Any advice?

Have just purchased a Nismo fuel pump and 600cc Injectors hoping that'll make a difference.

Also need help tuning the PFC since am running it on the base map. 

HELP!

You're going to need:

- Exhaust Gas temp gauge

- Wideband O2

- Datalogit

- Dyno time..

or pay Unigroup to tune it for around $500~$1000

Base map and upping the boost = trouble

Thanks for the tip.. Trouble is living in Africa proves to be abit of a hassle when it comes to ordering aftermarket parts. Many ppl don't ship here.

As for tuning experience, I have a tuning shop here and have produced fairly good results with evos & stis.

Had a Supra RZ just before I got the GTR and that was a breeze to extract big power out of. The GTR seems to need alot more to make serious power.

Yeah a better designed cylinder head and an extra half litre capacity will do that.

Have you done any head work?

Also, why 600cc injectors with 2871 turbos? That combo should be good for over 700hp so 600cc injectors aren't going to do it justice.

How much power did you make at 1.2 bar?

Dan.. I guess ur right about the Supra.

Haven't gotten any head work done yet. The thought of dismantling that head worries me abit.

As for the 600cc injectors, was looking for drop-in replacements by Nismo and that's the best I could get. The others were sard and tomei but needed modifications or new fuel rails which I didn't want to venture into at this time. Placed an order with greenline 2 weeks ago and still awaiting goodies to arrive.

What kind of power should I expect with the setup I plan to run? Was hoping for something in the region of 600.

The absence of dynos in this city make it difficult to makeout exact horsepower. But the fact that I manage to keep ahead of the Evos & Stis, I assume I should be in the region of 400

I hope you are talking 400kw? Standard turbos can do 400hp almost. That setup will see you to 600hp at the wheels but make sure your tune and fuel system are both up to scratch as these two items will let you down if you're not careful. 600cc injectors are a tiny bit small for the turbos so monitor your afrs closely and make sure you don't push it past their capability.

Guilt-Toy confirm what equipment I'll require for the distance tune and what you charge for it?

Was thinking of purchasing the wideband O2 sensor kit from Innovate motorsport and the pfc datalogit.

Suggestions anyone?

Make sure the wideband device you purchase is a good one, and has 0-5v afr output so we can connect it to Datalogit.

the price is about $350 usd to tune this car. if you fly me to your country I can bring everything with me. the datalogit and the wideband sensor needed to tune your car. I am in Georgia in Eastern Europe so it will not cost too much to fly you there. Maybe you can find other cars that need tuning as well and we can work something out.

I normally charge $300 - $500 usd for a tune. Remote or not.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
