Hi guys if anyone can shed some light it will be greatly appreciated.

Firstly the car is a r33 gtst rb25det

Mods

Hypergear highflow (r34 op6)

660cc injectors

040 pump

Power fc

3 inch from turbo back

Return flow cooler

Splitfires

The problem:

Basically the car has been in and out of unigroup engineering when it was first put together it made 247kw at 15psi

Had a small manifold leak so they could not push it more since fixing that and going to push more boost through it, it now only makes 220kw at 20psi but the power drops off early around 5000 rpm they suspected a restriction in exhaust or a boost leak as they retard timing to compensate for more boost but the car wont react as in the timing is not changing.

Car is hitting the dyno again tomorrow with another cas just to rule that out but cant seem to pin point the problem.

Sorry again for the essay :P

Thanks michael

There are two types of OP6 high flow. Most of the recently once made this year has the updated compressor and turbine whiles which is capable of making a lot more power. The older versions usually stops making power towards the 260rwkws mark, which your first dyno run sort of makes more sense.

Getting the most out of the turbocharger, 3 inches metal induction with a good pod is a must, as well as a proper cooler and free flow exhaust.

Because as they add more boost the car creates less power

sorry i'm a bit confused...on WOT they will set timing in the load areas of the map....the ecu won't change the timing unless they are hitting a water temperature threshold. so they up the boost and you aren't getting anymore power...do you have your dyno graph? that could show a bit more. mine made 229kw with a high flow but just made no more power when we added more boost.....(we really tried)

Hmmm...here's my 2 cents.

The curve looks worse than it is due to the scale.

1. There is a big boost drop as revs rise. At 6000 to 6200rpm it is running 15-16psi. That is entirely consistent with the power level achieved. So I'd first be looking at tension on the wastegate spring. If it's adjustable I'd add 2 turns and see the result. It looks like electronic control - is the GAIN set too high?

2. I don't know the turbine/compressor size but I'm pretty sure they're not large enough to warrant a 4000rpm boost threshold. I'd mention to the tuner that they investigate the AFRs around boost threshold (and knowing at least a tiny bit about how SAU tune they'll need to richen it up a bit coming onto boost, preferably for 800rpm before too).

#1 should fix most of your power issue

#2 should fix the drivability - which is AT LEAST as important.

I'm not saying there aren't other issues going on but it doesn't look too bad considering the boost drop.

Other things to check:

1 - Is the VCT set correctly? Is it ON between approximately 1200 and 4800rpm ?

2 - Is it too lean in places? Better to err on the side of rich rather than lean.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
