the bottom graph looks more like a TE graph as it falls away, the top one barely falls away at all and that doesn't make sense as TE will always drop away as if you look at the second graph the power holds.

But then i could be totally wrong and confused :D

Almost identical setup we made 485hp at the wheels and I think it was hitting 19psi (max boost) at about 110-115km/h

Definitely some small improvements to be made but looks like you got the AFR's pretty spot on. Not bad for a street tune considering you have no idea what the torque is doing. It might accept more timing in the top end? Anyway still a decent result considering

I'm just setting up another boost gauge that has a 30psi scale, will check and record what the boost is doing on the street, hopefully it will remove some confusion.

The air fuel ratios need some more work, but considering they are not miles off I left it as is until I can get everything performing in the ballpark.

Ok so after checking the boost pressure on the road with a mate, we have found it to be 26psi dropping to 25psi.>_<

With this knowlege i will continue working around it to see what i can find.

may back the boost off to 20 psi as well until i know what is going on......

Are the JUN cams drop in? I'm assuming that since you haven't fitted the adjustable gears you haven't degree'd the cams in. Did they come with a timing card?

The cams are drop in items with a reduced base circle, thicker shims etc

There wasn't a card with them, so i just have them set as per standard

Yep, boost is the top line. I thought it was the 20psi line for a second then traced the line back. It had to be the top line as the bottom line starts at 10psi.

The AFRs look very good. You take a touch of fuel out of it, but not real need. Hopefully its an exhaust problem with the slow boost/low power.

Perhaps with the new boost setting you might be able to get a fair chunk more timing into it and make similar power.

cars running on BP ultimate

The exhaust is all explained in the first post.

As much as i sound like a tosser to say it.... it seems like the dyno is wrong??:blush:

I've owned 3 different setups in cars that have run low 11's one was running 126mph with 330rwkw in a vl

This seems quicker that all of them to drive, seems to turn the tires coming onto boost into 3rd in rwd only fairly easy in a straight lie too.

When we were first running it up, the most it would make was 24hp, because of some incorrect setting on the dyno, lol

Ok so, my car is shit, that's a good start.

but seriously

I always road tune my car, just do it myself with the data logit package etc.

Thought, hey why not throw it on the dyno and have a quick look at where i am at.

I'm about to upgrade the exhaust and thought it would be interesting to see what difference is made and was thinking of helping out this site with some real world data etc.

The dyno i used is a Dyno Dynamics with latest software etc, owned privately.

The owner has tuned a few cars but, he left me to my own to use his dyno etc and just go for it.:teehee:

This is great for me, because i love playing with this sort of stuff etc. Not awsome for when i would like support.

When i went i hadn't slept for 23 hours, because of night shift, yep, shit idea, so i really wasn't on the ball on the day either, :wacko:

any way, results....

Dude..no I didn't laugh coz you said not to but..you're right..that's shit :-)

Reading that was like those 'starving in Africa' adds that make you take pitty! So here's my donation mate...

If you like pm me your details and I'll send you a red hot V2 Boost Controller. Make sure teh system is sorted then hook up the V2. You'll be bale to run whatever psi you like rock solid..

In fact it holds 60psi rock steady under test and to be honest I havent even tried to find its max. it's all in teh desin of the seat and teh speciallly imported ball for the gate that seals solid. Normally gated controllors have a hard metal ball on a metal seat..the V2 has a metal seat but the special ball is not metal or ceramic. It is hard but has some flexion so it seals tight. It's freakin magic!!

Cheers.

Haha, this is the best post yet, because i'm already running the new V2 Turbotech boost controller,

bought it from you a few months back :thumbsup:

nothing against them, for the small price, it works well, adding an extra 10 psi it does the job.

Now we can all see the boost is dropping away, but its a fair amount of boost for these turbos.....

on the road i held it flat in 3rd and am seeing 1 bar at 4200-4300, which i thing is really not too bad, i'm not sure checking boost response on the dyno is the best way.

Cheers though for the offer mark, honesty it has good mid range and boost response for these turbos, it really is doing a good job, just not on the dyno.....

I dont think its very helpful making comments like this, there is no way your magical manual controller will help when it is obvious the wastegate spring is too weak to hold the manifold pressure.

  • 2 weeks later...

ok, so i thought id share an update...

I'm in the process of pulling the turbos off and replacing the dumps, front pipe and whole exhaust.

what i did find is while assembling the exhaust i must have mixed up two of the gaskets on the front pipe, so being the original front pipe is 2.5"x2 into 3", yep you guessed it, i have a 2.5" gasket fitted on the 3" outlet.>_<

So my poor bus was attempting to shove all its air through just over 2.5" diameter..

This could explain its flat line and not wanting to produce power over 300 odd RWKW :thumbsup:

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
