I am very curious on peoples opinions on what they consider is fast. my car was put on the dyno last week and was making 222kw at the wheels at 10psi boost. I have standard injectors so I cant go higher than that.

problem is though, the car feels laggy as hell, and seems slower compared to the standard turbo I had previously on it. I am just not impressed. why? :(

anyone happy with 220kw at wheels?

Specs and dyno sheet needed!

Ill get on that soon man. but whats your opinion? shouldn't 220kw at the wheels be brutal?

because my car aint brutal unless I boost from 1st gear. anything higher than that takes forever for the damn turbo to kick in. hits hard when it does though, but damn it takes forever. not happy with the performance of the r33 gtst :(

220kw is nothing to get excited about BUT you did say it was at 10psi which is probably not even waking your turbo up, hence your not happy! If you have a bigger turbo thats what happens!

what turbo do you have?

when are you hitting boost by?

is anyone happy with 220 atw? maybe.. its personal preference. get some bigger injectors/pumps/reg and wind the bitch up

high flow garret turbo. hitting boost pretty late man...

edit: ok my tuner just called, he said he wasn't looking to get power out of the turbo until I had run in my new engine. he said it was a conservetive tune, Ill be taking it back to him on monday for him to improve the timing on the ecu or something. apparently thats why its not accelerating hard... :unsure:

power coming on too late means slow car, eg dyno queen.

If you did fuel injectors, airflowmeter, you could then use more boost and wake it up...

Otherwise maybe the turbo is too big?

I drove an R33 GTS-t years ago and it had high flowed turbo, front mount, injectors, tune, exhaust running 18psi, it was bloody good!!! Felt like 250-270RWKW

Yea man, with the amount of mods done to my car you would think it would be pulling hard!

lets see what happens monday. if not ill be selling it and buying a gtr lol

anyone want a fully rebuilt r33 gtst? lol

On the flipside of that Sean i had a high flow on my car making 250kw and it was pretty disappointing, so some good and some bad i guess.

True. The one I drove was right on the limit, as it was knocking on high boost! We are talking like over 8 years ago haha..

A laggy turbo that has a useful powerband of say, 5500RPM through to 7000RPM will feel fast (ramps up onto boost quickly) but will actually be slow compared to a car with a more useful powerband.

Big difference between "feeling fast" and actually "being fast" and it's all in the powerband.

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
