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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
