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.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
