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:

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
