Yeah well I want 400hp with a safe tune but didnt get anywhere near that so il put injectors and afm and take it to a different tuner

Probably also replace that turbo, cos that's gonna be utter junk at 400rwhp, IF it gets there. 5500rpm full boost lol.

Yes this ^ ^ ^ ^

I make the same power you have at the moment with full boost of 18psi around 3200rpm, Just to show you how much of a mismatched combo that turbo is for the power you want.

Go look in the hypergear thread or the RB25 turbo results thread to find a better turbo more suited to the power you want.

Bleh, I'm always hijacking threads :/

RB20DET

Stock injectors + T04e (yes laggy already I know)

171kw.. Also bad tuner.

I have 550cc injectors about to go in + better tune, will I see any benefit?

P.S.

Still saving for an SS1.5 from hypergear.

Save your money and buy the Hypergear turbo, then retune.

Regardless of which turbo you use to reach your power goal, you will need to replace your injectors and AFM anyway, so I would buy them first before considering selling and replacing your turbo.

Do that first and see whether you can get the power and response your after by increasing the boost pressure also.

At 16psi for a big turbo, you won't be maximising it's abilities. I'd say at a minimum, boost it up. Your low boost setting say 16psi and a highboost setting of 20.

As hypergear has mentioned, you'll be making a lot of power.

Courto, it may be possible your tuner is quite aware your injectors and AFM are limiting factors to the power you require. Knowing you have limited experience he just pegged the power at 330hp so you wouldn't blame him for the very quick death your car would have otherwise. Just for fun you could get 1,000 injectors, AFM & remove any restrictions in the exhaust, then go for it.

If the turbo is crap you will soon find out (with a reputable tuner) so just flog it off to the bin and get a 3076 and enjoy. By the way, if your tuner cannot explain to you in plain English why your combination doesn't perform it is probably because, like most mechanics, that he failed English at school and quite possibly every other subject. Find a tuner who actually enjoys educating people and knows the value of good service regardless of your own skill level.

That said, CRAP, that's a big turbo.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
