hi all, i currently have a 96' r33 gtr running 17psi on HKS 2540's, its currently makeing 320hp at all 4. i've been reading through the forums and it seems like its not makeing what it should be. any thoughts on why?

mods-

weisco pistons, scat rods, 650cc sards, 2x 044 and 040 lift, e11v2, 4" exhaust, FMIC, HKS cam gears.

you can get that power on stock turbos. Definitely some issues there. even if the dyno is low... it shouldnt be that low.

Surely if you build the car you would have some idea of what may be wrong, or if you paid a workshop to build it you would wanna hope they had some ideas aswell

yeah im not sure what it may be. i got it tuned at godzilla motorsport so im sure i can get them to narrow it down. they had to replace the CAS on the last tune. just out of curiousity anyone have a good estimate of what it should be making?

dude, you are so asking the wrong people. the builder and the tuner are the people to ask as mentioned, FYI, pistons and rods dont make power, and the fact you have cam gears asks the questions on whether you have stock cams. a standard internalled rb25 with bolt on mods is capable of making 300kw atw. this is usually achieved at 20 psi through a gt35/40

at least 350rwkw

no one left a rag in the piping when the build was done?...its been done before. Id check the pipework, check the camshaft timing and then drop the exhaust and give it a run.

Mark should be able to sort it out for you. He's a great tuner...he may just need the car for a day to test a few things.

whats involved in trying to measure pressure drop? and its running standard cams

Messure pressure coming out of the turbo before the cooler core, then another power run with Vac/boost gauge after the cooler core on inlet side. (properly where the dyno was reading)

You say your only getting that HP on 17psi, (inlet side) your turbo's might be trying to push 20-24 psi on there side.

That making your cooler core not allowing the CFM the engine requires to make horse power.

yeah i'll give it a good check over tommorrow, surely he would of picked up on incorrect camshaft timing when he was retuning it, he had the car for two weeks and also compression tested and regapped my plugs, i'll give him a call tommorrow aswell and get his thoughts on it. thanks for all the inputs anyways.

are the injectors new or second hand? if not new id get Mark to give them a clean and test on his new machine to make sure they are all good. We had a car down on power due to a faulty injector that was brand new.

injectors are pretty new. it was rebuilt less than 2000km ago, although i only drive it once a month for a hour or so

I had my last run done by Mark he's a very good tuner.

Just ask him for input as others have suggested. My first point of call would be to drop the exhaust and take it for another run. Will the 040 be OK acting as a lift for the twin 044's? I would check that out too.

whatever is wrong, its pretty fundamental, your 100rwkw under the mark

check the basics

check timing

check fuel

check spark

check boost

check AFR's

check timing

any one of those will likely yield the low power

im not sure an in-efficient intercooler would account for 100rwkw missing, but certainly a rag in the intake pipework woud

I used an 040 as a lift pump for 2 x 044's and it supported over 620AWKW...so that part should be just fine. :)

twin 2540's on my 30 in its' old car (25DE head, stock cams, stock t/b & plenum) made 490rwhp @ 22psi.

Same turbos on a new 30 in a different car (25DET head, GReddy plenum, Q45 t/b, big cams) made 530awhp @ 21psi.

So yeah, you're down a fair bit on power :)

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
