You won't hit any where near 300kw on the GT-RS unless you use nitrous like me lol.

Also are you sure it is running on 10psi? The stock HKS actuator is a 1 bar one.

i recall the the boost before it was tuned was "10psi" which i think is the stock level as you may remember PM-R33 from a while ago.

today when i picked it up it hit about "16psi" which i assume is now why i have boost.

Looking at this shootout graph from 70hp@10psi is a steady climb to 245hp@35psi_g then climbs to MAX:258.9hp@37psi_g

do you have a boost gauge?

if you are running 16psi you should be getting anywhere between 300-350rwhp

PM-R33 im assuming the gt-rs is like the gt2835 and that the actuator is adjustable if so the tuner could have turn it down to 10psi if the fuel pump isn't working.

Luthor666, no one can give you a direct asnwer on here as they didn't tune the car best if your not happy is to ring up tuesday and ask what is the go what they tune it for? what psi and why it is not making much power they will be able to tell you what is the go.

failing that just take it to another workshop, however a working fuel pump and ebc is a minimal if you want to push some high numbers. HKS rating on the GT-RS is 400 or 420PS, 400hp = 298.4kw, which is really push the turbo and i dont know if it would make it. If you really want the figure try 22psi and see what happens lol

this is my "now problem" the sheet says next to nothing and is almost embarrassing but on the way home i thought hey its only responsive, but feels "weaker" than before, then i hit a straight and got it to about 4000rpm and then BOOM instant boost (not having it for so long the boost almost scared me) but then i thought this is Great! but my dads is rated at 224.6hp with "no" major mods what so ever but mine has had countless $$$ spent and only 258.9hp could maybe the sheet be wrong?? because it feels better than it says?

Not sure what I am ment to be remembering?

So wait, what? So what boost is it running? You are all over the place on qouting the boost it is running.

PM-R33 im assuming the gt-rs is like the gt2835 and that the actuator is adjustable if so the tuner could have turn it down to 10psi if the fuel pump isn't working.

I aint assuming anything. I have a GT-RS and therefore know that it has a 1 bar adjustable actuator.

HKS rating on the GT-RS is 400 or 420PS, 400hp = 298.4kw, which is really push the turbo and i dont know if it would make it. If you really want the figure try 22psi and see what happens lol

That aint rated at the wheels. The average figure for a GT-RS is around 250-260rwkw. Most I pushed out of mine on the shithouse Microtech was mid 260's without nitrous.

Dude just post up the dyno graph otherwise no one can help.

I have a GT-RS too, and I pulled 338rwhp (252rwkw) on 15 psi.

Have thought about bumping the boost up a little more but meh, its fast as it is, I'm not willing to melt things for 10kw.

260rwhp aint right unless something is screwed.

months ago YOU (PM) were the one that advised me on what i needed to do to get my boost back and running again

now i have taken that and this is what i have

BEFORE:

10psi (stock)

almost no boost at all with GT-RS

AFTER:

installed injectors and ECU

tuned to 16psi

shootout sheet peaks at 37.0psi_g @258.9hp

but the numbers of 258.9hp doesn't seem right against an almost completely stock r33 tuned to 224.6hp

i will try to post it

Edited by Luthor666

Ok, so 193kw@16psi is obviously telling you something is very wrong as you can see by SoFreshSoClean's post you should be around the 250kw mark and I was about the same on that boost level.

Start by checking the obvious things: Collapsed cat, skipped tooth on timing belt, CAS failing etc.

Best bet, take it back to your tuner and discuss it with him.

but this is doing my head in

could this be all to do with the bleed valve and not a "proper" boost control?

it was the only thing bypassed to make it work on the dyno

Edited by Luthor666

Yeah dude my engine is stock, just have a power fc, (real) walbro fuel pump, 550cc injectors, intercooler, exhaust, pod filter, and greddy ebc.

I have heard of up to 300rwkw with a GT-RS but they seem to be few and far between..

so if the boost control is likely to be why this is so wrong, why would it read 16psi @4000rpm in forth? but feel like so much more

my only other guess is these numbers in HP should be in KW

because isnst a stock factory r33 183kw

Edited by Luthor666

Righteo so you can tell you have boost control problems. It's ramping up fairly nicely to 16-16.5psi but then falling over to about 12.5-13psi. But either way even on around 13-14psi it should be making quite a lot more power.

You can't "feel" boost pressure. You could be running 20psi but still make crap power and have a slow car if something is wrong.

If the numbers say HP, it's in HP, simple as that. You can switch everything on the dyno graph to different measurements, a lot of people like using HP. A stock R33's engine is rated at 183kw, not at the wheels.

Like I said, take it back and discuss it with them. They are the ones doing the work, if you aint happy, tell them.

Boost control problem is really obvious from your dyno graph, get it fixed will make a signigicant difference. Have said that I've made more power on a stock turbo, so there are other issues at play here, but need a dyno graph vs. AFRs to tell you anymore. I'm sure the workshop could tell you all of this and more is you asked :P

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
