Auto Skyline with 10-11psi, 3' cat back and pod = 136 rwkw. Just got it dyno recently and haven't had any problem boosting to 10 psi.

I don't think it is the auto box you have to worry about just yet, but more you turbo because of the ceramic thingy. I think it depends on the condition of your turbo, not long ago I read another thread that some guy blow up his turbo and he was running the same boost as everyone else here.

If you search this forum (or SDU's for that matter) you'll find quite a few threads on how much boost to run on an R33 turbo, about 12psi seems to be as high as you wanna go is the general concensious (sp?) I think. Some turbos simply last thou even at 18psi plus, where as I've seen some fail at 12psi... back pressure, heat, clogged oil or water lines, theres a few factors involved.

As for setting the timing, on an R32 and possibly the (series one) R33 theres a little loop of black wire which goes into the ignition amp, this is for coil/cyl 1 and some timing lights will work off that, but its not very accurate. Removing your centre cover to get access to the coils, and then lifting coil 1 is the better way. You just put a short HT lead between the coil and spark plug and use a timing light off that. Much more accurate. Factory timing should be about 15 degrees BTDC.

My first (R32) Skyline wouldn't go past this without detonating, my second R32 Skyline would run 20 degrees even at 1.1 bar without issue. What my R33 is running I have no idea as my timing light packed a sad I just turned the CAS slightly counter clockwise and listened carefully for any pinging... I'll check it properly later but the quick and nasty way is advance till you hear it ping then back it off slightly.

Btw, remember to keep the coil grounded when checking the timing when using the HT lead. You will also need to unplug the TPS definately in an auto, unsure with a manual, but I think thats still the case.

My auto runs well at 180rwkw (a bit of a disapointing fugure)

I run 13 PSI, a PFC, FMIC, 3" exhaust and rising rate reg. My injectors are now at 70% (so i have plenty of room to increase power)

I am hoping a HKS2530 turbo will get me a lot closer to 250rwkw. I will also include a trans cooler and an electronic line pressure switch to make for crisp shifts and a cooler trans.

such low numbers for those mods ... 136rwkw ... i've seen manuals get 180rwkw ...

think you got something mixed up, dont think ne r33gtst with cat back and pod filter at 10psi has 180 kw at the wheels

more like 150-160 max

dont forget that you will always have less power through stall converters compared to clutchs for manuals.

eg your average 160rwKW should be 175 through a manual trans.

i am running 9 PSI on mine with 170rwKW. running rich as well as i have stock ECU.

auto, but mind you. SHE is a bullet

Well to give you an idea hippy, the dyno I went on my car made 136 rwkw, but I saw an R34 GTT (manual) stock on the same dyno and made 115 rwkw.

Then another R34 GTT went on with exhaust only I think and made 125 rwkw.

So I can't be too disappointed with my figure.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
