Heya all, i've not had my Gtst long, and i'll be testing it next week, and wanted to get some idea of the figures i'd *expect* to see, within reason.... Afaik, it's not been tuned/touched etc since JustJap originally did the mods in Jan 2003

I'm still very much learning about 'lines - any recommended mods to improve from this point?

It's a '96 S2 Gtst with the following mods:

Mines Ecu (used)

T04 (recon)

Nismo Fuel Reg

3" Cat Converter

What I can guess as 'normal' turbo ducting etc..

After a bit of digging, and some great help from JustJap, (actually remembered my line :-D )

It's a T3/T4 Hybrid, with enlarged/bored out sections (Front and back), to increase flow. (Steel rather than ceramic)

He wasn't sure of exactly what size, and i'm not pulling it out ;-)

Hope that helps

Its 99% likely that the Mines ECU is set up for japanese conditions IE 100+octane fuel and way colder conditions

So running 98 which is the best octane we have here, at high boost and high rpm will see some problems

My advise;

Before doing anything with/to the car, put it on a dyno and see if theres any problems

I have seen about 4 Mines ECU's and all were very rich and not particularly aggressive in their tune. No speed cut was good, raised rev limit was a waste of time, boost cut removed was good, otherwise not such a good thing. :thumbdwn:

ok... done the dyno, am feeling a little dissapointed, as was expecting more.....

Max 227.8 HP :-(

I'll scan the plots in tomorrow, and hopefully SydKid etc could decipher it for me ;-)

The good news is that the power curve is pretty linear, (excluding end drop off )

It does look like Sydkid was right one one side, about top end revs on the ECU lacking, but.. it was running a little lean according to them....

Will get the scans done tomorrow...

I could be missing something here, but it looks pretty good for a start... (if on the low side)

i got a 141rwkw (189HP) with stock series 2 including stock exhaust and boost. You should be getting up near 180-180 at least with aftermarket turbo and an ecu chip. what exhaust do you have? it just says 3" cat. what boost are u running the t04 at?

Here's the plots :

Plot & Torque Showing  

Plot & Mixture ??  

Can anyone help with translating these plots into something I can readily understand, so I can look to improve this?

Excuse me if I sound like a complete noob, I am  :Oops:

Typical Mines ECU, stable A/F ratios but simply too rich. They need to be between 12 and 12.5, not mid 11's. The ignition timing will be similar, solid but too retarded. Did you get a boost graph?

Thanks for the comeback SydKid, I'll pop in to them tomorrow and see if they did do one.

The two graphs were all they gave me.

If I was looking to up the overall power etc, would I be looking at changing the ECU & Retuning? or would it be a lot more involved?

(I'd love to get to the 350 *ish* HP, but i have no idea if that's a realistic goal with the current setup. )

If so, what sort of ECU would be idea? Something like a Wolf3d?

Tbh, I've got about 5-10K I could throw at the car if needed.

Power FC would be my choice and with a decent intercooler and fuel pump there is no reason why 225 rwkw (300 rwhp) would not be easily obtained. With larger injectors and an AFM upgrade (to Z32) 250-260 rwkw (350 rwhp) is there for the taking. There are pleny of threads on this sort of upgrade path, do a search, I am sure you will find all that you need to know. :cheers:

    • Hello First, I apologize if this is not the correct forum. Let me know and I will move it to the correct one. I'm having a problem with the tachometer on my Skyline R33 with an RB25DET Neo engine. I'll tell you from the beginning. I'll tell you from the beginning. I have the RB25DET Neo engine installed in a Nissan Patrol GU, with a Link G4X control unit specifically for that engine,  and I have fitted a Skyline R33 tachograph to the original GU dashboard, but it doesn't work properly. I have the tachometer connected to the positive and negative terminals of the GU panel's wiring, and the signal cable is connected directly to the ECU output pin, but the rpm fluctuates widely. Can anyone tell me if the output signal from an R33 ECU is the same as the output signal from an R34 ECU, or if the voltage and signal type are different? Regards and thanks.  
    • I guess it was the thought about "Oh if I were to drive this everyday". Then no, SL500 I wouldn't really consider lmao. 
    • Yeah actually really fair point. Idk what I was thinking when looking at the SL500. Now that I think about it, I feel like I would have more enjoyment out of a shitbox that I would need to repair than some fancy merc. Although I must admit the SL500 does look quite nice. My bad hahaha.
    • 100% Also "Not wanting to spend money" is THE WORST IDEA IMAGINABLE when coming to a project car of any kind. They EXIST to BURN MONEY. Sure, gas money is a thing. A stock car with the worst fuel economy ever sold would probably be cheaper than modifying a car with FREE petrol for the life of your ownership of it, lol.
    • Amount of time you're being observed by law enforcement is so minute, that you could be a dumb shit 90% of your driving time, and never lose a demerit. You could also be the best driver ever and still get hit with a fine.   When you realise how quickly everything turns from "Wee, we're having fun!" To "oh f**k oh f**k oh f**k", you start to realise the only way to be a good driver, is to not be doing anything dumb or unexpected by normies on the road. You want to go fast, go to the track. Someone there in a 1990s slow POS will also show you how bad of a driver you are as they lap 10 seconds per lap quicker than you can in a car that should be considerably faster.
