I think your WHP are overinflated American specs. I'm running a shitload of massive upgrades and an UpRev tune and i'm only running 230WHP.

Agreed. I have all intake/exhaust mods and spacer (tune could be better was slightly lean) and made 165rwkw. This equates to around 220rwhp.

200rwkw

5AT - HKS turbo kit, 6psi, uprev. I've seen uprev tunes from US cars making over 300rwkw, with not a lot of difference to my tune, but with a bit more boost. What I've figured is that the yanks over exaggerate their figures.

It all comes down to the dyno operator and what your paying them to do. Example- if you paid me $1000 to fit the new beut part to your car and tune it, you would like to see a increase in power yeah? dial up the dyno.... its that easy.

Do you think a NA "200kw" car has the same power as my 200kw turbo'd VQ35?

If the NA had 200wkw and you had 200wkw on the same dyno, then yes you'd have the same power. :P

(yes mate, I know what you are saying)

Torque would be fairly different though

You always hear about the plenum spacer mod, but I never hear anything about the runner spacer or throttle body spacer. would either of these be helpful in an N/A setup?

Runner spacer will increase low-mid rpm torque a bit. Just as it does on an M35 Stagea.

pv35gt8 has one on his V35, but it is difficult to feel much difference due to the CVT.

Runner spacer will increase low-mid rpm torque a bit. Just as it does on an M35 Stagea.

At the expense of a little top end power usually. Unfortunately the peak power figures can give a false sense of power gains as they are only up high in the revs where they don't get used much. More torque in the midrange is what people should be chasing imo.

The mentioned runner spacer was made out of the same phenolic material as the spacers for the VQ25's, and can not be used in conjunction with the plenum spacer. (not the 17mm spacer that I made, could be possible with the more common 8mm spacers that everyone else has installed.)

Once I put the Cosworth plenum on it will be available if anyone wants to give it a try. I will be able to package it as a kit with all the required bolts, spacers and gasket.

Are you an uprev pro dealer?

And please explain why uprev cannot go over 375whp.

or did you copy and paste this from My350z?

I think he's referring the the VQ35DE engine revision, not the ECU flash/tune....

is this just a bonnet clearance issue?

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
