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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
