Haha and what did someone say about the power curve. 422.3rwhp

Wow. Not flaming but that is truly horrible. Compare it to this, smaller turbo but more power and WAY more response. (Sorry about the terrible photo) post-95739-14322749726741_thumb.jpg

Built 3L bottom end or not, get rid of that turbo and get something good from Hypergear

  • 5 months later...

mine lost comp on number 5 when i accidentally hit 25psi, interested to see how yours goes.. :ph34r: post graph

will do!

I only have the dyno for 1.5 hours and I need to get 2x S15s on during that time hahaa

Looks like I'm unable to make anymore power, I added in 4 degrees of timing and it only made 327kW so I backed it off and ended with 325kW

Tried more boost, but it did do much except give me a little more torque and a glowing gate lol.

There's a chance this motor has had it as I lifted the head at a track day a couple of months back.

(oh yeah, I had semi slicks on which generally reads lower on the dyno)

If anyone is interested, I've got data logs from runs on the dyno.

Quick question about those GTS-R exhaust manifolds , tube size wise they must be large enough not to restrict an RB25 .

What do people think about using these with an IW GT3076R in an R33 ?

Cheers A .

You lost me at internal gate. :P

I am only guessing here but I'm saying my restriction is going to be my Kakimoto exhaust, I have a TD06 20G with the gate welded off the side so I didn't spoil the manifold.

Will wait and see what results mine spits out in 5 days.. And if the exhaust manifold is upto the task or not.

Have you had a look inside your Kakimoto Muffler? My old kakimoto has 3 inch to 3.5 inch piping but shrinks to 2.25 inch at the muffler. The Resonator is also the same. The cable tie is measured 2.5 inch. As you can see the Kakimoto ones shrink down even more :(

My car now has a HKS Hi Power Silent catback and it shrinks to 2.5 inch on the resonator and muffler.

I need something else. My old XForce one shrunk to 2.75 ~_~ come on!

post-81658-0-93038700-1447578538_thumb.jpg

My dyno graph shows the HKS catback restricts about 16 kW and 187 rpm response. That's with my screamer pipe already relieving pressure.

I'm sure 2.25 inch would suffer more. Even worse if the gate is plumed back or internal.

thats good power from 2.5inch, my resonator must be same cause on 98 i couldnt get more than 280kw with 3076, will get that chopped now after seeing this...

I think though, that having it go down in size in the muffler probably gives it a better sound, I've heard/read about this creating the best exhaust sound, quieter on low engine speed and angry at top end cause of the higher pressure/speed of the gas..

Can't believe people still pay top dollar for big name brand exhausts when they are all known to have step downs and all sorts of restrictions.

Custom exhaust with your own choice of cat and mufflers every day of the week, it's a real no brainer.

What muffler though??? I looked around and no one advertises any photos of muffler internals, only tip size and inlet size. Was thinking to straight pipe my resonator and put on a good muffler, but couldnt find one.

I was quoted $1600 for a 3.5 inch custom exhaust, but was out of my budget with my new setup.

I previously hit 295 kw with my old setup and was hoping for over 300 like what others got with the same turbo. I only realized later that it's all because of the kakimoto resonator! Have a look inside before you chop it. Might not be the same. What exhaust?

Yes, the step downs make it quiet and better sounding. Kakimoto was too restrictive and too quiet, and it gave a "SHHHHHH" noise on WOT. The HKS one sounds real nice and soothing, even on WOT. I might keep it and install a exhaust cutout just for track days.

Just measured mine and the rear muffler definitely doesnt step down below 3 inch. If anything the "muffler mesh" gets slightly larger inside. I cant say what the ressie looks like inside but mine is bran new maybe a rejigged exhaust over the years?

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
