Hey guys yes VCT is turned off it was

Dropping off at hi rpm now it has another kick

He also said that the front pipe an pod are holding it back...

Peak power is more likely to be held back by your fuel system than your front pipe and pod. VCT can be turned off mid way through, so have it on until 5000rpm to boost your torque up to that point (you're definitely missing torque out down there), then turn it off to ensure that it maintains the same high rpm power you are currently seeing.

The reason it feels like a stout kick up high is before its lacking the torque the motor could be making up until 5000rpm, the engine is designed to rely on VCT to have a good spread of torque - you're potentially missing out on ~10% of the torque you COULD be making at 4000rpm, which you'd definitely know about.

Was it fully tuned with it both engaged and disengaged? Dynoing with VCT off in areas where the engine is tuned with it on - or vice-versa, means that the tune will be off for the current state which could give a misleading indication of where the curve intersection point should be in an ideal situation.

When you say fully tuned, do you mean an individual tune either way? The comparison was done on mine with only one tune, the current one. I lost 20rwhp in the middle from having it off. It made no difference above 3900 so that's where we left it.

Also, DVS JEZ mr nissan would have worked out the vct switching point based on a car running 5 to 7 psi through a stock turbo with an entirely stock car. Its possible that when a car gets everything on it swapped over from the computer to the tailpipe that it would have a different vct switching point.

Mr nissan would have spent alot of time working out the best VTC switching point

Probably, but when we are tuning non-factory setups with non-factory ECUs we don't have the luxury of using whatever rules Nissan implemented - nor can we be assured that they are calibrated to perfectly match whatever deviation we have from what they designed in the first place. We can't even be sure that they had our best interests (ie, powah!!) at heart, I know of other manufacturers definitely making decisions on this kind of thing based partly on how "exciting" it feels (often at odds to the outright best performing), emmissions, fuel consumption as well.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
