Sorry for the new thread; I've done a lot of searching but didn't find answers to everything.

I just bought a series 1 R33 with RB25det and a few mods.

3 inch turbo back

big FMIC

aftermarket coilpacks (not sure which brand)

heavy duty clutch.

boost gauge in cabin.

Stock turbo, motor, injectors, ECU, fuel pump

It maxes out around .6 bar maybe slightly more. Is this just wastegate pressure? I know its an internal wastegate I have no experience with internal gated turbos.

Power ramps up quickly between 3-6k RPM, but backs off between 6-7k. Never experienced this with a turbocharged car before.

I know I have the mods to support a higher power set up, it feels kinda slow compared to my old Honda Prelude turbo.

My question is, how much boost can I run on the stock fuel pump, injectors without pushing ~90% duty cycle?

Also, how does the stock fuel mapping go with 12-14psi?

I thought when people say Turbo back that included the dump. I'll have to get under the hood and have a proper look, haven't had time yet.


What are the preferred value options for aftermarket engine management? My old tuner is Adrian at Toda in Sydney, I should give him a ring

Sorry my bad, I misread turbo back for cat back.

There are a bunch of ecu's available from the older powerfc's to Link, ViPec, Haltech and Adaptronic. It will come down to what your tuner likes using.

There are a few very good tuners with extensive experience with RB's that are mentioned regularly here at SAU. It might also pay to do more reading on who people like using.

DVSJEZ and Unigroup are two tuners I have no hesitation suggesting but there are plenty more in Sydney or thereabouts.

Mate thanks for all your help today

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
