Adam.

The ECU is all standard, I havn't got any engine management for fuel/Timing etc..

I use a bleed kit on the fuel pressure reg to help lean it out a little.

It is a pretty crude method to lean the fuel out but it seems to work, The afs arn't pefect.

i.e if you make the af's perfect up top then the mid range will be lean and loose power, make it perfect in the mid and the top end will still be slightly rich and loose a little bit of power.

Works ok but.. Its good for a tuning tool while you are getting you mods done. Then the ECU re-map will be done.. :D AFTER.. the new turbo..

Makes top power at about 6k im guessing with the turbos running out of puff, good result though.

:D :confused: Hi guys i'm new here and i was wondering if you could translate 164Kw to me in horse power or teach me how i can do this myself being that im from Jamaica i am not use to this.:D

What causes the power curve to flatten out at the top?

the power curve angle, how long it levels out and when it drops off is pretty well determined by the cam. Duration, lift and overlap...

l¥le..

164 kw is 219.9 Hp, and that was at the rear wheels...

$500 every time you want to tune the car is pretty expensive

well at the moment im running stock injectors and a bigger pump so i think i might remap for 1 bar.... i cant afford injectors atm so depending on the results this may be the last mod for a while...

is there such a thing as "the last mod...." ?:)

Hey Joel....

When u finally put your new turbo on if u overlap the dyno readouts your new one will be slightly slower to make horespower but the curve will be more vertical andovertake standard curve. instead of flattening out at the end it should keep rising only just dropping at the end of revs where engine runs out of steam in that gear

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
