Currently my R33 GTST is at the tuners again. They having trouble getting decent power out of the car. Curious to hear peoples thoughts.

Current modifications are;

Rebuilt motor & reco head 10,000kms ago

GTX3076R bolt on turbo, FMIC, intake.

Wolf 3D v4.

Full exhaust

044 fuel pump & nismo 740cc injectors

At 9 psi of boost it makes 190rwkw

At 16psi of boost its currently making 220rwkw and starts to detonate so they must modify the timing they said.

I thought it would be alot higher than this for that boost level?

Thanks.

what does full exhaust mean? those symptoms are bit like the exhaust is blocked, like a cat or a restrictor..

I think the 9psi to get 190kw is probably right, with 15psi i was getting 260kw so you should be around that..

what housing is it?

Now you mentioned that it reminded me of this -

Sounds like a similar thing.

Certainly sounds like just another case of butchered housings. If a GT series have issues with them, it's only going to be worse with a GTX given they are meant to make more power.

If it's not the housing

- Exhaust

- Timing belt is out a tooth possibly

Hey mate, have you got the detonation verified with headphones or is your tuner just running of the knock sensor?

Reason being, I used to get alot of noise which the knock sensor interpreted as detonation.

I'm also running a GTX3076r on my RB25 and make jsut a tad over 300rwkw on 21psi, so would expect yours to be around the 260rwkw mark like SIlverS2 said :)

Well if you runit on stock manifold as a bolt on turbo internally gated on that housing its not going to make lots of power. GTX3076 is ideal for external gate. Also I didn't see metail induction pipe in your mod list, you will need a 4inch metal induction pipe for that turbo.

Not sure of that turbodragon, I assume its with headhpones. Its a fairly reputable workshop and they do alot of RB25 work and work on VLs. I havent spoken with them today. Will ring them soon

Best to ask them and find out. Could save you a lotta time and cash if it was just phantom noises coming from the harmonic balancer or soemthing lol

Plenty run a 3" that just steps out to 4" @ the comp housing to get a hose around. In fact that's how most are done come to think of it given a Z32 isn't 4"

Yep, Z32s are only 3" so 3" intake pipe and a 3"-4" reducer at the comp housing inlet.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
