Ken - My brother's R33 made 466rwhp on 20psi with an externally gated GT35R.

Basically he had bolt on mods - hks cams, hks exhaust mani, greddy copy intake plenum, xf falcon throttle body, external gate, custom exhaust system, standard pistons, rods, rings, crank etc, standard rb25 gearbox and standard rb25 diff.

That motor is still going today, 5years after it was built and it has never had one single problem.

RB25's are good for 500rwhp on stock internals, trust me.

You will make 400 easy on your 34.

Going for 400+ RB25 with stock internals is a bit risky but then again depends how you drive it.

Your 34 is a track car right? Your going to give it a good thrash most of the time ;)

How man ks has your neo done?

I would like to know how long your engine lasts with 400 usage on the track.

Don't mean that in a bad way at all.... could last a very long time who knows.

Neo in the 31 has done 20oddks since install 3 yrs ago and its seen it all from drift , drags to tarmac events . cant realy say " yea made 450hp n lasted me 2 yrs " when in fact it only done 1000ks at track . With Andrew tuning the car i know we will last the distance .. current Neo has copped massive limiter abuse and still runs strong

Only thing raped harder then my 31 is SkyRyan butt :D

That is the shit I like to hear! :D

Thread revival:

Some nice results there. I'm getting my GTR tuned there next month for my new setup. Switching out from N1's to 2860-5's. They said I'll probably only get 400-450HP atw with my setup. But my engines been rebuilt with forged internals, larger Cams and all the supporting fuel mods and PFC DJetro to tune it with.

From what I've read in this thread is that this dyno gives fairly modest readings for HP output is that right? I was really hoping to break into the 500hp atw at least!

I wish you luck. I have/had similar set up and to say the tune from said was disappointing is an understatement. 6 psi more boost, same max hp and torque and massive loss of mid-range over original tune. Maybe just a bad day.

Keen to hear how you go.

hmm well that's no good. Was this the same dyno that you had your previous setup tuned on?

Was just thinking because readouts between two different dyno's can't really be compared to eachother, in fact a lot of people say that's still the case even between two runs on the same dyno.

How did your car drive after the tune? i could imagine it'd be slightly laggier, but overall did it feel any faster?

Ran a base line with original tune first

Driving - Not well. Dyno sheet only proved what you could feel from behind the wheel. Lost a lot of mid range - went from a fat convex curve to a hollow curve all through the mid range. I was expecting the sort of numbers you are chasing and ended up well short - and it drives like it.

There were some boost control issues with the EBC but a manual T should still hold up. Again it could have been a bad day....?

So disappointed I am retiring that setup and spending $$$ on a new engine package and EMS. If this doesn't deliver I give up. This time the tune and set up is being done on an engine dyno for pump and blended fuel.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
