Hey guys,

I got my r33's apexi neo tuned at allstar garage last week - the result was 260rwhp

When i picked the car up one of the guys told me that there is a drop in power through the mid range and that this is normal for an rb25 and the only way to get rid of it is with a full computer - however after doing some research I have seen dyno graphs of Rb25's with safc tunes that dont have this dip in the power curve???

i have attached my dyno sheet and am looking foward to hearing your comments - its annoying to drive with the dip in the mid range and your basically sitting wait for the power to come...

Comments/ Advice?

Seriously... It's rich and retard, when the AFM reads a certain amount of boost (being too high) it pulls heaps of timing out and adds lots of fuel!

You can clearly see on the graph that the boost just spikes a little in the midrange and then car dies in the ass, get a aftermarket computer to solve your problems :P

ok i will look into this - i have seen other rb25's with an safc tune that dont have this problem??

should i turn the boost down 1 psi to avoid entering R &R mode for the time being? im keen to head down to the drags but i think this may mess up my times a bit.

+1 you can even see where the boost drops back down the curve recovers itself

I really doubt you'd notice a 1psi drop but it may be enough that it no longer hits the airflow cut, but really.. if you're worried about 1psi affecting your times, what do you think a big dip in your curve is going to do to your times??

sorry mate i meant i was worried about the dip in power affecting times and therefore considering dropping it 1 psi to avoid it... noob question but as the car has been tuned to whatever psi its running at the moment, if i simply drop it down 1 psi do i need to get it re tuned to this boost level?

1psi won't make a difference to your tune, and i dont think that 1psi will make the difference so stop rich and retard, so I'd suggest dropping the boost by 2psi increments untill you feel the car has a smoother power band and it's not hitting r+r anymore.

perfecty normal for 33s. the safc will help a little but you cant completely get rid of it when running higher boost without an aftermarket ecu. the small rise in boost is normal too, its from the stupidly retarded timing around that part of the map

this is my 25 when i had a stock ecu, was like hitting vtec

It's an airflow cut anyway, 8psi on one stock 33 turbo isn't going to be quite the same as another stock 33 turbo, especially when you bring china fmic/piping and other individuals setups into the equation. Boost is just a measure of restriction afterall.

Edited by bubba

exactly. and its not a sudden thing, it'll gradually get worse with more airflow. you could even say a 100% stock car is hitting r+r as it runs a little rich and the timing isnt optimum. or from another point of view you might not call it r+r until it takes less than 1 tank of fuel to turn your white rear bumper black and the combustion event is happening more in the turbine housing than the cylinder

+1 for nistune

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
