Currently running an SR20DE with the following mods;

-Conversion to CAS and coil packs

-Wolf 3d Management

-GT28 400HP Ball bearing turbo with high mount manifold & external 45mm gate

-Trust Cooler

-Bigger radiator

-Big fuel system etc etc

Running about 10PSI of boost it put down 248RWHP, winding it up to 17PSI however with retune picked up about 2HP!

I feel there must be something holding it back, it still has a Cat converter in it, it may be melted, am thinking of removing it next week to see if this helps things, failing this can anyone suggest anything?

Cheers

usually a blocked cat will show up with very slow picking up of vacumm so blip the throttle and see how fast your vacumm needle or the 3d hand set gains...

It picks up vacuum at what appears to be a normal rate, however it is much laggier than expected...

Cooler came of a 600RWHP GTR so I dont think that is the problem.

Also, how will I know if it is running out of spark? They are the stock coil packs, which I know are good for more power than that, and have gapped the plugs right down to 0.5mm.

Anyone got any other suggestions?

Remove the exhaust restrictions

whats the max power a de has made

what sort of cam profiles are on the de

if you were running out on the ignition side youd see that on the dyno

when you pushed teh extra 7psi what was teh final afr

Exhaust restrictions will be the next step, maybe tonight.

Dont know the max power of a DE in Aus, but have seen several in US over 400HP at wheels.

Cam profiles on the DE are slightly more lift and slightly more duration than DET

AFR is 12ish no matter what boost.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
