Which makes it sound more like a flow issue, and not exhaust side as that tends to send temps up and hence detonate.

Which leaves valves, intake, leaks??, turbo, cam timing etc.

yep... 3.5" was made as 3" would not flow enough for 350kw+ so thats fine

turbos are in good nick...

cam timing... shouldnt be an issue if cams/cam gears are both standard??

leaks have been found and fixed

intake is new as we had to remove the AFMs due to the MAF less tune

which leaves valves I guess??

"peak power right now is at 6300... car just starts struggling to breath and loses power"

Sounds like an exact thing i had.. Drop a set of Tomei TypeB 9.15mm in. Ignore what everyone says about running standard cams and try again and you won't live to regret.

Everyone is always talking highly of Unigroup but i find the car's he tunes runs quite low power and they are only in RWD/2WD? Too safe of a tune perhaps? Who knows...

Don't think it's that much of a mystery mate.

I'd say it's due to the fact yavuz doesn't feed customers bullshit dyno graphs to keep them happy.

Get a figure from ur tuner then take it to Unigroup and get a real read out

can you please provide further details of your situation?? even the tuner said standard cams are perfect for -9s

yeh Yavuz only has a 2 wheel dyno so readings are in RWD... he does tune them to last so they might be slightly lower in power perhaps...

lol.. if you have a standard motor and you want to make 380-390kw i dont think especially with gt-ss sized turbos. i just think its a little too ambitious but thats just my opinion and from experience. I'd say 350-360max on eflex with a set of cams?

The problem i had was i couldnt get power above 6000rpm, put a set of cams in on a STANDARD motor and it brought the mid-top end straight up. You can feel the difference for the midrange-topend power.

With the 2wd readings, it should be higher than in 4wd. His readings are definitely lower, but as i said, who knows, everyone modifies their head different and it could just be that or as i said it could be his tuning too safely.

lol.. did i say feed customers bullshit dyno graphs? all i said that he could be tuning his cars too safely?

Get a figure from you tuner and take it to unigroup to get a real read out? lol seriously dont be so ignorant. Each to their own then, but its just my opinion on what i've seen from other peoples dyno graphs tuned by unigroup :)

"Everyone is always talking highly of Unigroup but i find the car's he tunes runs quite low power and they are only in RWD/2WD?"

So you find that your not impressed with Yavuz's work? you look at a dyno graph power reading and becasue u think its a bit low you wonder why everyone talks so highly of him? dont be so ignorant

"Too safe of a tune perhaps?"

i realise this is a question, im sure Yavuz knows what "too safe" is

Biased much? Thats what i mean about being ignorant is because you are like the rest of the sheep on here and i can tell from your response. I am just trying to say that there are other tuners out there. E.g. JEM, Powertune, Unique Automotive. Not necessarily everyone on SAU has to go Unigroup though a lot of people on this forum goes to him because of people like you and N1GTR whom is always putting forward recommendations. Although those that do are happy with their work and i presume you are one of those guys who are?

In saying that, I am just saying i feel he tunes perhaps a little safe and thats why the power readings is a bit low for the mods on the cars he tunes. Thats all, nothing about him being a crap tuner or nothing. You put forward your recommendation and opinion and i gave mine.

Yavuz the smartest tuner i have met.

An engine will only make what it can make. But then different dyno's is like apples and oranges. My GTR made 296kw of yavuz's dyno and 296kw on the mainline i use.

Ive had plenty if customers come from other shops with really high dyno readouts, and first run on the mainline are

Down 30kw.

On 98 ron most engines are knock limited, so u can only push a motor to det then add a safety margin. Basically.

Well I made 340rwkw, 19psi on -9s on PULP

Stock cams.

Put the -5s on, 365rwkw @ 19psi

Both above 6000rpm, was 7500rpm or so.

No so sure stock cams are necessarily the issue if the cam gears are set right.

yep

something else is a foot!

I wanted full boost before 4k and was going to get cam gears but was assured i wouldnt need em.. and he did pull it off.. 25psi by 4k is pretty awesome..

They would have tried around 20psi... Id say it would have been around 310kw.. will check tomorrow

What dumps are you running??

When my engine was std (just cam gears) I was making 335kw at 22psi With my -9s

So I don't think springs are the issue there is a restriction somewhere

If you have std intercooler maybe check if there is pressure dropping through it, maybe in need of a clean??

As the std cooler is fine for the application

was going to get cam gears but was assured i wouldnt need em..

Never understood this. Cam gears are the best thing you can do apart from putting fuel in the car! (providing the guy tuning it knows what he is doing and spends the time setting them up)

standard dumps

your springs were working fine... mine appear to be screwed

the bolt ons have been check, checked again then checked one more time... he has eliminated them as the issue

yeh i dont think PT use them very often... im still very happy with the response.. on paper at least... will drive it tomorrow

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
