I have an R34 GTT, current modifications i have on my car are intercooler, exhaust, Bosh 040 fuel pump, pod filter (boxed) & Boost controller.

I'm booked in for a tune on friday, i was hoping to get about 250rwkw from my car.

Any recommendations on what other mods i need to achieve my goal.

Thanks in advance.

A bigger turbo and an ecu

Should've got all the parts before the tune. Generally you need:

550cc injectors

Z32 AFM

Boost controller

3inch metal inake pipe with good pod filter

3inch exhaust with Honey con cat

High flowed turbo

Strong clutch

fule pump

Nistune or better ECU

Feed it with BP ulitmate.

the "tune" you have done on friday is going to consist of the workshop driving the car onto the dyno, doing a run or 2, possibly playing around with the boost level, doing another dyno run and then driving it off again. the stock ecu can't be tuned.

and as has been said above, you are going to fall short of your goal of 250kw by about 50kw.

...or more. With a standard ECU you'll probably hit rich and retard (as i did) eventually which makes the car a pig. I managed 185rwkw with exhaust, pod and 13psi.

With an aftermarket ECU and Z32 afm (or a better ECU with 3bar map sensor ie Haltech) you might be able to make 210+ on the standard turbo, although don't expect it to last all that long at that power level...

You'll need a credit card...............with approx. a $5000 limit.

Then you can buy all the necessary hardware!!!

At least...! I just dropped $12k on my R34 to make 273kw, although that was with an expensive ECU and other parts and it has plenty more left in it for E85...

I reckon you would pull around 200rwkw ... you need the turbo +and both aftermarket ECU and Injectors

I'm voting 180-190(ish) tops.

Fuel pump and intercooler will make exactly zero difference to power and as i mentioned my 34 made 185rwkw with some boost, pod and exhaust.

Of course Dynos do all read different - 200 on one is 180 on another...

not quiet true. fuel pump won't do squat for power, but as you start doing other mods then you need a better fuel pump to be able to flow enough fuel to stop it from leaning out.

as for the intercooler, they can make you get higher power than the stock one. the reason being that if you give the car a bit of a fang on the way to the dyno then the stock side mount cooler will already be suffering from heatsoak (therefor higher intake temps and less power) before it even goes on the dyno. a bigger intercooler will stay cooler for longer and therefor give you higher power on the dyno (as well as on the road). it doesn't take long for the stock cooler to heat up after you have given it a boot a few times, while in the colder days we are having at the moment a fmic will stay cool for much much longer.

The fuel pump will only help once you reach the limit of the standard system (as you say) which won't be happening here.

The cooler - well it may help in the situation you described, true - but usually i'd assume the car would be sitting around, run a couple power runs and that's it, with a fan blowing into the engine bay. This is not a proper 'tune'. It can stop power loss through heatsoak / high inlet temps yes, but it's not going to give you more power per se.

Essentially what I meant was your not going to get an extra XXkw with those two mods... :D

and i pretty much agree

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
