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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
