After countless attempts at getting my R33 S2 Gtst to make good power, I am finally there and happy.

It is making 360rwhp and drives like a dream. Prior to this it was making 305rwhp with similar mods. The real difference - the tune (tuner to be exact). Sometimes switching tuners makes all the difference....

Dont want to rain on your parade as this is a huge jump just on tune but was it done on the same dyno in same conditions as this might be a reason for some gain which is not really there?

I am sure that if the car drives in such a way that he has been excited by it, the numbers probably are reflected in driving experience :P

agreed there would be gains just not close to 20% gain... also worried about the placibo effect you know it must be quicker cause the dyno said so...

i am not trying to be rude i just prefer stats that are real in terms of this... example is my car is identical to my brothers as in we are 100% neck and neck every drag/race but he has 28hp more then me... this is not my skill but a different dyno different day.

some tuners are lazy, and just pull a big chuck off the stock timing and smooth out the A/F ratio, sometimes not even touching the Injection map, they just scale the Air Flow Meter which is purely lazy.

I've borrowed a datalogit and fixed parts of my map up, and added more timing after peak torque (using a combination of old dyno graphs).

yeah there is a certain tuner/workshop in Sydney who tunes just like this...it was a mates car so i re-tuned it properly and made heaps of gains in power and response as well as fuel economy...and i cannot tune for sh1t but know enough to get things looking reasonable. Made 450AWKW the next day at Autosalon and won him a trophy...yay :D

this workshop charges big $$ too...pretty piss poor.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
