had my r34 gtr v spec tuned today at maz fix in brisbane...

final power was 408.3rwhp or 304.5rwks at 1.3 bar boost....pretty happy....

we worked out about 100rwhp gain or 75rwkw gain...with tuning...

going to run it to see if it can do an 11 sec pass. best with base power fc map was 12.5 at 110mph...at 1 bar boost .

i plan to run higher boost when i get some good fuel and a twin plate clutch...

mods are: hks 2530's with hks dumps

hks type r intercooler

nismo 280lt fuel pump & reg

700cc sard inj

power fc with z32 afms and pod filters.

denso iq22 plugs.

lightened flywheel and upgraded single plate.

cees short shift.

not good enough mark...you need a nismo twin clutch :D ...did you end up getting it working on the 34 power fc?

yes got the power fc working was the immobilizer as we thought...

got the parts from dwane... thanks for that...

still got your nismo twin plate....

cheers..

Hi Mark, good effort, as I said for a combo road/track car 2530's rule. I noticed the DD was not in Shoot Out mode. How hot was yesterday up there? It was 37 degrees here, that's almost a 10% horsepower loss.

Hi mesh, don't underestimate the benefits of upgrading the dumps. Based on our experience 300 rwkw is a good rule of thumb limit for the std R34 GTR intercooler, an R32 intercooler is not quite as good. So I'd save up a little more and do it properly.

Hi Micko, I suspect that not holding boost could be related to the std intercooler, there is around 5 to 6 psi of restriction in the std inlet system at 45 lbs per minute of airflow. The I/C is about 3 to 4 psi of that. I believe it's time for an intercooler upgrade. Just removing the restriction will give you another 20 or so rwkw, plus you will have the increased efficiency (lower air temps) from the turbos. I wouldn't anticipate too much gain from more cooling in the I/C, the std one is hard to beat in that area.

Hope that adds to this interesting thread.

Great work mark - very nice curve. Can't wait until I can get myself some of these turbo's.

Just as a side point, how have you found the C's shifter? I was just about to order one of these in the next few weeks (if negun answer their emails!) but I haven't known anyone who has used them over the nismo one on a R34.

took it for a spin late last night.. wow...

dont know if the gearbox will like that much power... what are the 6speed getrag boxes power limits...????

had the boost set to 16psi and only had about 10 to 15 on the knock readings in the power fc...seems like a great tune to me... no flat spots or surging at cruise either...

i would highly recommend Maz Fix at underwood in brisbane.. they are starting to do a few more skylines mainly with Micro tech ecu but his power fc tunes are pretty good also...

they tune the brisbane streetmachines gtr with a power fc also and it runs 10s all day....

thats good result for dwanes car also.. what boost did he run to get 305rwks....???

hows your beast going ylwgtr2...

my next step will be some cams maybe 264 9.1mm hks or tommi cams...

snowman the cees shifter is great, i believe it is 30% shorter shift where as the nismo one is only 15 % shorter..

if you can find a cees shifter grab it as they dont make shifters any more.. went bust...

think mine was 500bucks landed....

nengun is a bit slow at present he must be busy... but he will answer its usually worth the wait.....

Nice work Mark - gotta love those turbs eh?

 

I managed 415rwhp but could not hold boost very well. Still using stock cooler & afms but otherwise same mods.

 

What are you using for boost control? Got powerfc boost control but thing wont work for me...

i am using a blitz id 111 boost controller.. its very fast acting and hlods boost at 16 psi so far easy.....

it was 32 to 34 deg in brisbane yesterday and he started tuning at about 10am ..

so i would imagine it was quite hot when the final run was done... hot day, hot engine... etc etc..

last night was good at 10 pm intercooler air temp at 30 deg and colder air it went really hard...

what do you think the getrag 6speed box will handle safely.. power wise...???

with the right fuel what boost level do think is possible with my setup... it has 16psi now with 10 % tolulene....??

thanks for all your help along the way....

Hmmmm...

If you're only ("only"... hehe :Oops: ) getting 304rwkw out of 2530s, perhaps my GT-SS turbos are too small :) I was hoping for 300kw @ all four from the GT-SS...

Hmmmm...

i think you would need high boost to get the gt ss turbos to 300rwks. but i think it can be done...

just remember my run was at 16psi on a 32 deg day... so with 20 psi boost should see some more power maybe 330 rwks or so...

i am happy with 2530's they spool at about 4000 to 4200rpm and go crazy after that all the way to 8500rpm...

for circuit work gtss would be a bit less laggy but only maybe 500 rpm....

cheers..

    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
    • Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.
    • A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.
    • Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.
