This thing was making better power before the ECU changed and everything else is the same except now the exhaust is better so clearly the issue is in the ECU where it be the settings or simple the tune

Clear some space in your inbox, I too tried sending you a PM

Yeh it was making better power at lower boost too (286rwkw @18-16psi) but it does drive much smoother now esp in low rpms before boost and noticeably more power/torque in low rpms too. Now 280rwkw @22-18psi it makes less power with a better exhaust and supposedly better ecu; so it can only be one thing wrong with the system, (not the ecu) need I say it, and yes dynos do read different too.

I will re visit them to get the power loss at downshifts sorted, have cleared my inbox, please try sending pm now, cheers

16kw difference? lets say 5kw could be any of the common variables that affect power on any given day..you're looking at a 11kw difference, this could be the difference in 1 or 2 degrees timing at wide open throttle.

the default Powerfc accelerate injector settings can richen up mixtures alot when you press the go pedal, they may have only been tuning wide open throttle? IMO full range torque is better than top end power any day of the week...especially on the street.

Have you thought about me while buying lube and condoms lately?

Yes, I bought the strawberry/banana flavored ones since your just so juicy. nohomo.

Anyways back on topic :ninja:

My issue was the CAS, but only because the engine got so hot to the point the block warped and the plastics around it melted. Otherwise not sure if its a usual wear and tear item

You can't 100% trust a dyno number

It's how it drives and the speed it pulls at the quarter mile is accurate

I went to latest rigoli dyno day and made 260kw was tune the week before at Unigroup 266kw

Seen a turbo civic the had a dyno sheet on the window tune by Jem and made 280 odd kw on rigolis dyno only made 224kw go figure

By the looks of it, Its just bolted onto stock exhaust manifold and externally gated off rear housing. So the question is how much factory exhaust manifold can flow, and my evaluation result says 280rwkws on P98 unless excessive amount of boost.

The compressor design with huge impeller radius and plus antisurge housing makes it very un-efficient unless huge amount of boost given. In which you can not run those boost levels with a 65mm / 56mm turbine in a .63 rear.

My advise is get a proper exhaust manifold, a .82 turbine housing, a 50mm external gate. Then run heaps of boost.

My car made 280rwkw at 18psi, not 22psi, by the time it made the power after 7k rpms thats how much the boost had dropped. Will an ebc hold consistent 22psi till 7k rpms? Power might go up then but by how much is anybodys guess.

Ebc will only help to extent but if there's is too much backpressure blowing the gate open at high rpm

It's going to drop boost no matter also when the turbos out of flow it will drop but I doubt the turbos maxxed as my mate made 360kw with a 5558 on e85 sr20

A smaller wastegate may also help as there won't be as much pressure blowing on it as it's physically smaller

But those are only bandaid fixes which might only help slighty

But a larger rear housing and proper manifold is a proper fix if you want 300kw plus

I can see boost started to tapper as soon as peek was reached.

This can happen because the compressor is inefficient to feed the engine with that much of Air at given RPMs.

Or the exhaust manifold pressure is too high that blows the gate open. And when it has an external gate it means the EMP is very high.

Taken example given by Hy_RPM then it will be more likely that the turbine end is maxed.

There isn't a real lot of point of trying to hold the gate shut in this situations as it will makes the engine wants to pin. So you end up running higher boost on less timing and not alot of gain. Of course you can cure it with E85 or Q16 that marks your Ign timing closer to its peek torque output. Run a smaller gate will only increase EGT, in situations like this is very wrong.

Some thing like this is a perfectly balanced setup between induction and discharge. It is running an 38mm internal gate also:

SR is 4cyc engine with 8.5 compression. So it won't be copping with back pressure issues as what RB engines gets, generally makes a lot more power in a smaller turbine housing. So a .82 turbine will definitely make some changes to boost curve, and lot more power.

Yeah but your comparing yours to different setups

The other guy made the extra power from e85 and more boost and he has a more free flowing manifold and inlet plenum so can make use of the extra boost aswell

Your will be restricted by boost now as your on 98 so more boost will just ping

But waste your money elsewhere up to you

Tuner has already guided you in the right direction

There's a restriction somewhere but the cat and exhaust wasn't it as it didn't gain much once you changed them

    • 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.
