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

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
