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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
