I've never seen a flat spot THAT bad on an R33 with stock ECU.

I've seen many small dips before, but nothing that severe!

Maybe your ECU was just really having a bad day!

Having a total shocker of a day !!

But now it's mega smooth.

For a stock ECU I'm really happy at how smooth it is now.

There's a bit of a dip right up top where the wastegate is having a hard time, but apart from that it's all good.

If I'm real keen I could squeeze another 1-1.5 psi out of it, then run it again on a cold day and maybe break 175rwkw on the stock ECU.... Or run it in shootout mode and it'll read higher.....If I'm really keen that is, which I'm not...

Just as a comparison on the dyno - A R32 GTR ran up straight after I did, this GTR did 240rwkw on a dyno down in Melb, and only pulled 225rwkw on this dyno. This same car has managed a 4.1 sec 0-100 time !!!

Just goes to show that you can't compare different dynos etc...

u sure the speedo isnt out of whack? the speedos are known to be out of whack alittle at those speeds, because my speedos seems to reading like 190km, but im in 5th gear and at 5k rpm, and hit the 180km/h speed cut.

Al,

I used a car speed estimator table that uses g'box ratio, diff ratio, & wheel/tyre circumference. It spat out 204.12km/h @ 7000rpm in 4th. This is using a 255/40/17 tyre size.

nightmare5,

According to the same car speed estimator I mentioned above, the speed in 5th at 5,000rpm will be 193.88km/h. The limiter (usually ~180-190km/h) would be pretty much at those rev's!

6,500rpm in 5th is 252km/h

7,000rpm in 5th (if you have enough power & tarmac to get close to those rev's) is ~271km/h

J,

So you can confirm how accurate my Car Speed Calulator vs. your actual reading is I'll give you the CSC reading for 3,000rpm 4th gear - The CSC suggests that on 225/50/16's you "should" be doing 86.87km/h in 4th @ 3,000rpm.

Let me know what you get mate.

G'day JAY

I might wind the boost up a little cause it's dropping off at the top (see attached) due to the wastegate creeping open at high RPM's.....

More boost will probulary induce more wastegate creep and give same result.

Invest in a HKS electronic boost controller and wastegate actuator, it's one of the best mods to a stock turbo system to improve boost response and will help hold boost higher in the rev range. The only llimiting factor will be the turbo but it should be able to produce 13psi all day safley till redline.

I also agree there's more power to be had with a leaner setting in the top end but this way she'll be safe from detonation.

Cheers

Yeah good call mate I have lost the plot haven't I :D Doh! I have drag on the brain. Of course aerodynamic drag will not change the result of diff, g'box & tyre size speed calculation. I dunno' what I was thinking about there?

Drag will however make it harder for a car to reach it potential maximum top speed.

More boost will probulary induce more wastegate creep and give same result.

Invest in a HKS electronic boost controller and wastegate actuator,

Yeah, I think your right there.

I was thinking about upgrading the wastegate to a 13psi one (if they come in that rating), but I think you have to pull the turbo out to replace the actualtor :D A bit of a pain in the butt for a small improvement :)

Do you think a EBC (without using a upgraded actuator) would help reduce the boost drop off ?

    • It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair
    • The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol
    • If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.
    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
