I'll start by apologizing. I have gone through the RB25 upgrades and dyno thread. I've gone through google. I've done all I can, and I honestly can't get my head around it all. So.. I'll need to ask (A question thats probably been asked at least 7 million times (Give or take a couple of threads)) So. I'm sorry I have to add to it all.

I have an S1 R33 GTST.

Its running:

Haltech E11 V2 with 3 bar map sensor

3.5" exhaust, high flow cat, stainless dump/front split pipe

Walbro Fuel pump

33 GTR injectors

R34 GTT side mount (Probably my biggest let down ATM)

High flow stock turbo.

Dyno'd at 256RWHP @ 11PSI

I want more.. Id be happy with around 350. How would I go about achieving this? Obviously get rid of that sidemount. But, is it really better then the justjap intercooler you all know I'm gonna cheap out on? How much can that turbo go to? I REALLY love how punchy that turbo is, how low it comes onto boost. So, if I have to upgrade the turbo to achieve 350 odd, is there something that will keep the punchy feeling I get?

Once again. I'm sorry for this kind of post. I'm relatively new to turbo cars, and the shopping list is whats saying on the reciept from 101 motorsports this guy who owned it did to it.

Get the JustJap front mount. There is nothing wrong with it.

Get some better injectors. Not because you need more injector but because its easier to make HP on a better injector.

Turn the boost up to 18psi and you should knock out about 340hp atw

id go bigger injectors and a second hand fmic kit.if its a highflow turbo u should also run more boost and should achieve around 250kw on average with a safe tune which is around the 350hp mark but the power ur making at the moment is easy power for a stock turbo and anyone with a highflow and after market ecu should be making more than that so if i were u id be double checking u definatly have a highflow turbo before u go running more boost and getting a retune

yeah you would need to see a receipt for that or even better pull off the exhaust housing and check the rear wheel of the turbo.

Probably pretty important to do that in make sure it is high flowed otherwise the guy will get it on the dyno, ask 18psi of it, and the ceramic rear wheel exits like last nights curry.

Also pretty important that you get a tune after changing the front mount intercooler and upping the boost. Otherwise might end up in areas the car cant handle n it will det its head off.

Im iInterested to know why a car with bigger injectors and turbo would be running only 11 psi and a power range the stock injectors could have handled...

Rule number one with modified cars , if you didn't fit it and you're not 100% sure it's what it's supposed to be , check it to be sure. Gtr injectors on a 25 is interesting , it would be more expensive to buy and make fit than half the brand name injectors :)

some hiflow's wont even make 250kw, my old one made 220kw..

If it were me id send turbo to hypergear for a inspection, even improve on whatever it is.. then you know what you've got before wasting money on tunes..

Then FMIC and injectors cleaned or replace.

I thought GTR injectors were topfeed.. thats odd.

Yep GTR injectors in RB25 is a good sign something odd is going on.

How long have you had the car? I'm guessing not long at all... So get everything checked, if the fuel rail & wiring is stock for instance the chance you have GTR injectors is nill so you might have something else in there or potentially stock ones.

Same with the turbo.

Yeah to run GTR injectors you need aftermarket rail etc which would be pretty obvious and probably the easiest to check.

If you take pics of the turbo wheels and post them we should be able to tell you, same with the injectors actually :)

Only had it a week. Was a sorta quick thing.. needed a vehicle, had one for sale, yada yada. Kicking myself a little for it, but it had to be done.

I've had a look at the injectors. They are indeed factory injectors. Going to pull the dump pipe off on saturday and asses if its had the rear compressor wheel changed (I've been reading!) Though.. For some reason, I doubt its been flowed.

Who the f**k would get a haltech and a tune on stock injectors...? Considering how cheap injectors are these days.. Seriously annoyed the dude lied about it all. If its just the injectors he lied about. I'll only be a little annoyed, and then get a set of 2nd hand ones. If its the turbo as well. Keep an eye out for a 33 driver who went on a rampage.

well there is a fair bit to be had from a tune on skyline on its stock injectors and turbo. Stock boost is 5-7psi and really rich.

Up that to 11psi and tune with a zorst n intercooler n its a pretty good bang for your buck result.

Injectors, air flow meter and a turbo + all the work to install them and tune is not a cheap process. Hence why alot of people do just the aforementioned.

If it is indeed this but the guy has said high flow , gtr squirters etc thats pretty damn snake of him. Still, you should have checked it out and verified it before buying...

true.

If you can find out who the tuner was, and as long as they were a decent one, you could get a FMIC on there n hopefully a good boost controller if there isnt already one on there and up the boost a bit n retune- which if it is from the original tuner should only be a cheaper touch up tune...

I fell for the same shit when I bought my car, was told it had a fuel pump and injector upgrade and possibly a highflow..some on here would remember the stupid questions i kept asking because of it...

but i knew no better, i didn't even know where the turbo and injecotrs were when i bought it :rofl:

At least you got a haltech, all i got was a boost tap, a bodgey exhaust with cannon muffler and a thrashed excedy clutch...

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
