Just seeing what people think of my set up, ive been browsing the rb20 upgrade page and ive noticed that people with a similer set up are getting around 30rwkw more then mine.

my set up is the following

Rb20DET 110000km

Nistune ECU

Blits FMIC

K&N pod

Rb25 turbo @ 14PSI

CES racing 3" split dump

High flow cat

3.5" RS*R cat back exhaust

Walbro 500hp fuel pump

Turbo tech boost T

Ive had the car tuned twice in the current set up, first was with the auto in it, 2nd when i converted to manual. On the manual one power jumped 20rwkw and a it took 4 hours to tune.

BTW my fuel econermy is 12L/100km

Why did the tuner stop gaining power?  Was it because you were running out of injector?  If your injectors are sticky/dirty and can't flow the fuel, then the mixtures will either get lean or the tuner will stop pushing when he sees the duty cycle maxxing out.  That would be my number one guess.

FWIW, my RB20 has 040 pump, std injectors, std turbo, similar dump to yours, big cat and 3 inch exhaust, old old intercooler made from a cut down truck core (back when proper coolers were $2000), and makes ~170rwkW on a dyno that reads similarly to most other DD dynos (ie not a happy dyno and not a sad one). My injectors are pretty much maxxed out at that point. They've never been out of the engine, but I have no reason to believe that they're especially dirty. Oh, and my AFM is running out of headroom at that level too. When you get them up over 180rwkW or so, you are running past the end of the AFM's scale most of the time and relying on having enough fuel in the last column of the map to cover bigger loads that aren't measured properly.

Some thoughts,. There is no way an R33 turbo should be hitting boost later then my TD06-20G.

How well do you know your tuner?

I personally would fit a section of flanged pipe in place of the cat for tuning. Have a close look at the boost controller as an R33 turbo with an R32 actuator will run about 13-14psi and probably hold boost better then that setup in it.

At the end of the day the dyno readout is just a figure but I cant believe it would be that far out and suspect you are right that the setup has more in it.

Also the fuel economy seems bad as well. I get about 12--14L/100km potting around city driving. On the highway I get between 9-10L/100km. So perhaps make sure your AFM is clean and the O2 sensor is functioning correctly too

Thanks guy.

I havnt done a compression check since I had the car.

As for the tunner he is consider the dest in Darwin and one of only two recommended to me. I'm not shore about the injectors, and he didn't mention any thing to me about them.

Fitter the 33 turbo came with a his adj acctuator but I could only get it to 8psi with a boost t, so I sealed it to the 32 stock actuator.

You are only running 12psi up top.

160rwkw doesn't sound out of the norm. It's probably in similar ball park to to running 8-9psi on a RB25 in the top end, which would make around that. Maybe 10rwkw more (so call it dyno variance).

So look to fixing the boost control and you should be fine.

Also you are in a hot climate, this plays a factor.

      BCNR33 Blower Motor Resistor - Testing

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      ^ This is all good advice. I can imagine that there's some passive components in the HVAC controller that run that PWM output that could die, or suffer bad solder joints. It can be worth opening it up, taking a schmooze around looking for swollen electro caps, evidence of liquid escape anywhere, tracks that have been hot, lifted, cracked, etc. A DMM might not be suitable for seeing if the PWM output is pulsing. Might be too fast and too low voltage for a DMM to keep up. An analogue voltmeter might give a better hope. I use a handheld oscilloscope (<$100 from Aliexpress if you want something cheap). A DMM might see the voltage across the motor flicker. Otherwise, as above. If you can successfully see PWM action, then the control side should be good. If you can't see it with what you have, you might need to step up the instrumentation used, as above. Beyond that, and dbm7's advice on testing the motor directly, you're down to looking for broken wires, corroded connector pins, etc.

      R34 Gtt RB25det neo Issue After Modifications

      By ChrisGtt · Posted

      So Thanks for the comments etc. To follow up on this, we went down the path of fitting a divider down the middle of the external pipe that was added to the exhaust manifold and the divider went from very close to the external wastegate all the way up to the "V" part where the pipes from each side of the manifold joined. After this modification it was finally in a position to do the dyno-tune with some degree of success. Top end power was down about 10kw (250rwkw down to 240rwkw) I believe from previous but it seems to be more responsive lower down and at least it is now driveable and fun and back on the road to be enjoyed. Apparently the timing couldn't be run the same as it was running into knock and boost was down about 1psi. For all we know this could have been from the fuel being a bit older, or perhaps some slight complication from the new head gasket as we didn't have compression figures from before that mod to compare. I'm no mechanic and this is second hand info but I just wanted to follow-up to those that commented or read the original post with interest. After so many months of stuffing around this is a big win. The interesting part was most of the info around this was gained from information around Barra motors and not GTR as the manifold setup on the Barra with single turbo was more similar.  Thanks for those that helped with info.

      G'day ... first up, I very much doubt that's a resistor network (as used also for this job), but the part# looks right. The description of 'power module assembly' looks to be nissanese for 'PWM driven, ground switched, DC motor speed controller'.... the circuit in the schematic kinda infers that's the case... ...with the transistor symbol appearing in the unit described here as 'Fan Control Amp(lifier)'....being driven by pin20 on the HVAC unit,  and a feedback signal on pin19 from the motor negative terminal for some reason (might be motor fault detection, maybe they detect commutator switching to determine motor revs as well, I dunno)... but if they are  counting commutator spikes, a bad segment (or really worn brushes) will throw a spanner in the works... The motor itself will as said be brushed DC with segmented commutator, rated at 12VDC nominally ~ now-a-days I just unplug them, determine the positive wire, and hook them up to a variable power supply and find out how much current they draw, if they work etc etc ...you can also check for bad segments...ie; set the power supply up to feed 1volt @ 2amp max, then watch the wattage count as you slowly rotate the fan blower motor through a complete revolution ; any bad/dead segments will be clearly evident...some folks would just say determine the positive wire, and feed it battery voltage, and if fan spin, you've got a win...<grin>... well, at least that infers it should do something when plugged back in, and the HVAC unit commands it to run... and if it doesn't, you suspect the module, but you should check the PWM signal on pin20 is actually present, and if it is, blame the module ...

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Ah. OK. I take it back. I hadn't looked closely at the R33/4 arms and presumed that GKTech did as GKTech do everywhere else, which is to use sphericals there. The poly bushings are made to be 100% interchangeable, should use the standard bolt just fine. Every other bush in every other place in pretty much every other car, does.
