what said above is don't under estimate OEM, until you reach the limits.

Don't buy gear that's unnecessary for the power level wanted

Not sure what you ment buy that, the car has had a lot of work even before the upgrade. I had already maxed oem before I spent money on the turbo injectors computer intake and manifold so that makes no sence.

Yes it has an front mount intercooler I just didn't list it. Prob got a few others I haven't said

What manifold is it running? Are you getting adequate flow to the wastegate?

IE its not a china stainless manifold with a meter long WG pipe is it?

What do you mean max it at? We had flat 11.6 afr. 18 psi and it slowly dropped back to nearly 14 psi may that have been my problem?

I can't remember when or how much the microtech was its a plug and play with hand controller.

Not sure if it's a china manifold. It could be. It's got 2 pipes that join the collector and joint to 1 pipe to the gate

You bought crappy parts and thought it would add to your power goals. Many others have done the same thing, don't feel like we are singling you out. All you needed to max out the GT3076 was a 3 inch exhaust, turbo, decent modern injectors and a Walbro 255. A decent ecu (adaptronic etc) wouldn't have cost much more than the Microguess.

you mean micro-iceage/Neanderthal? lol fuark man I road tuned a car with it before, I was so close to just calling it quits.. it's was built by morons.

1x table is just RPM vs. ignition (yes there's no load) and there's another table for load and how much ignition you would like to shave off.. LOL..

you said " I had already maxed oem before I spent money on the turbo injectors computer intake and manifold so that makes no sence."

So I ask again, what did you previous setup max out at? and what did it comprise of?

Guys are making 200kW with stock injectors/manifolds/turbo/coilpacks etc.. with just more boost & ignition/fuel maps optimised (either through a toshi remap/Z32 new ecu, etc.)

My last set up was

Stock turbo

14 psi

Cooler

3" straight exhaust

Coil packs

Blitz boost controller

Bosh 040

Tuned remped computer

Can't think of anything else, made like 186 kW I think

I don't think most of my parts are cheap and crappy.

Garret gt3076r .63

Pro gate

Denso 880 injectors

Greddy copy plenum, been machined flat. So just like a genuine

Unsure of exhaust manifold but my friends vl has the same one making 589hp on 20psi

Blitz duel stage boost controller was told it was great!

Microcrap lt12 well I took some bad advice on that one

Turbosmart fuel reg

Bosh 044 pump off a relay for 13.8v

Can't remember what else.

The suspension and underbody is well ajustable everything. The car had cost a lot.

I think I'm about 70hp shy of what I thought I was building the motor for.

Mark did say the air temp adjustment prob was not in the engine bay and may have robbed me of a few hp?

The stock manifold was cracked and old and not a high mount set up and needed to for external gate.

Boost controller is a blitz duel stage. I can send a pic if u like? I had to change the fuel pump on the dyno because the old 040 let go. It's now a 044.

Maybe I just have a really tied motor. I'll do a compression test soon.

I know the microtechs are not the best but I didn't think it would cost me this much. Mark said he thinks the .63 is to small and that's y it drops boost off back to wast gate spring pressure.

I thought maybe some one might have had this sort of issue in the passed. I pretty much just copied someone's setup n thought it would work so I dunno what about a boost leak some where?

I was going to ask what the condition of the engine is like. Do a compression test and see if you can work anything out.

and you definently need a printout of the dyno graph. That will tell alot more of the story

not all 3076's get 300kw on 98, mine with gtx3076 0.83 external gate was limited to 278kw on 16psi, it just wouldn't take more timing so a 0.63 would of been even worse,

mine would rise 10kw per 1psi, so with 18psi you might get 265kw which maybe quite normal.. mine was running 175psi each cylinder which I thought might of been the reason,

run some E85 and you might find it will smash thru 310kw

You should get more power then that - mine is 284rwkw but with a little bit more timing I have gotten it to 294rwkw however on some loads would ping so safe at this.

This is just on straight 98, my gate is welded on the back of the turbo housing.

Similar support mods, obvisously different ecu and tuner but for your reference:

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
