Hi Guys

I'm getting a tune with Toshi shortly(replace ecu , dyno & road test) and installing a high flow turbo and transmission cooler so I can up the boost and push around 200rwkw

As it stands however this is my setup , just BPU

1997 Skyline R33 GTS25T AUTO

Straight through 3'inch from turbo back

Pod filter

Blitz turnflow cooler

HDI Boost controller

stock turbo (running at 12psi)

Splitfire coilpacks

Automatic box

What do you reckon I'm doing now at the wheels? (150 -160 rwkw?)

Ps: Just asking for a power figure, please keep the "put it on a dyno , skylines autos are slow etc... to yourself

Cheers :)

150rwkws now

170rwkw with ECU, tune and a T

Highflow turbo will need injectors and fuelpump.

Will net 240 to 250rwkw

Oh, only 170rwkw @ about 12psi with tune?

Toshi mentioned 200-220 rwkw max after ecu replacement,fuel pump and tune and also said it would not be wise to go above that , even with a high flow turbo as the auto box will not be able to handle it (it is also my daily driver , so not looking for a "dyno queen" or anything , just a responsive cruiser).

Did not think the auto skyline was capable of netting 240 to 250rwkw

It is - If you have supporting mods.

Remember Injectors, Fuel Pump, Nistune with what you already have.

Check the Hypergear thread.

Auto - I'm pulling 245rwkws on a highlow (GCG 2871) now out of puff. I expect Transmission safe up to 280-300kws.

I have a 34 GTT with Neo motor.

Was 170rwkws stock with FMIC, Exhaust + 7psi

thanks. Certainly not 100 , thinking about 150. Was just a bit curious . Cheers

Point of my post was, it's a moot question that you ask.

We don't know your engine or what power feels like to you, so it could be making any amount of power between those numbers based on what every other untuned R33 has ever made on a dyno. It could be down on compression, it could run inefficiently or restrictive, or it could be well kept and healthy. Too many variables at hand.

People can guess all they like, but no one knows, so playing "guess the kw of this setup" is so pointless that people even make fun competitions out of it at dyno days and the guesses are always all over the place. Therefore any figures or feelings you take from people who have never even driven your car are irrelevant. Did you know that a car tuned precisely on a dyno may produce 5rwkw more or less on the same dyno 5 minutes later? Now imagine how varied the guesses are when we don't have a dyno...

I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but I think you are trying to emotionally side step the hard fact that only a dyno will help you with your question. If you don't care about dyno queen figures, any figures shouldn't really matter anyway - only the seat of the pants feeling or measured acceleration difference that you are chasing. Thus, my recommendations are to choose modifications that are known to increase midrange pull, and forget all about the numbers, as the only time power figures are relevant is when showing the difference between tunes on the same dyno...and even then...variance.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
