Well the 3" front/dump pipe (already had HKS from the cat back), and greddy profec b spec 2 ebc went in yesterday. All tuned up on the dyno (the ebc that is) and all is good :P.

high boost is set to 10psi, low at 8psi. Very, very noticeable difference.

The car made 155rwkw @ 10psi. The skyline that they did before mine with similar mods only made 122rwkw @ 10psi on the same dyno. Is 155rwkw (taking into account the other skyline) healthy?

thats a big difference in power for 2 cars with similar mods, i think the only thing to think of is is the boost readings right as if there not then you maybe running more boost and hurt the turbo, if the readings are fine then you have a strong engine. NICE ONE mate.... :cheers:

The other car was a series 1, but with less kilometres though.

The boost reading should be reasonably accurate. Was using the Greddy profec B spec 2's psi reading... peak was 10.5 psi

i'd put it down to better mods on yours then, when you change the fmic you'll get an even bigger smile :headspin:

and as reference:

95 S1 w/ 94k

FMIC

Full 3" exhaust

7/12psi (only holds 10psi)

K&N Panel Filter

= 186rwkw

The front/dump/cat gave me around 10rwkw.

A K&N Panel filter is the simplest easiest mod for $100 and 2mins of your time, if you haven't already done that theni'd suggest doing it asap.

Benm are you still running the stock ecu?

I'm debating about my next mod. FMIC or power fc. Sydneykid recommended an after market ecu earlier on in this thread before FMIC.

I'm just wondering how safe it will be to continue to run 10psi with the stock intercooler.

Current mods are:

3" front/dump

3" HKS catback

K&N air filter

Greddy profec B spec 2 at 10psi (high boost), 7psi (low boost)

hmmm....FMIC or powerfc....

I guess with the powerfc I can keep the current boost setting, and lean the mixtures out properly to make more power instead of just shoving more air in there causing the a/f's to be over rich, and increasing the stress put on the engine.

Ultimately I want close to 200rwkw.

Am I right with my thinking? Sydneykid? Anyone?

Hi Wilch, R33 GTST's with RB25DET's have really terrible A/F ratios and ignition maps as soon as you do almost anything to them. Sure you can sneak a bit, 20 rwkw here, 15 rwkw there and some people are happy with that. From your posts you indicatee that you were going to change the ECU (along with quite a few other things). So, as soon as I have someone who has made that decison, then my recommendation is to do the ECU upgrade early, just after the exhaust is the go.

Maybe it's just my personal experiences, but I have driven a lot of R33 GTST's where the owner has done quite a few mods (exhaust, boost, FMIC, POD, BOV sometime even turbo) and their cars don't drive "nice". They have the flatness at 5,000 rpm, the idle is flakey, they might have 200+ rwkw, but the average power is crap. They hit the std ecu overboost protection regularly. At this stage they don't want to spend $1.5K for what they think will be 20 rwkw. But the improvement in driveability is worth far more than 20 rwkw max power. The average power increase in more like 50 rwkw.

So I say, do the ecu early, you won't reget it. :)

Benm are you still running the stock ecu?
Sure am.

I agree with SK has said below however i'd rather only have to pay for 1 tune instead of multiple after each mod, my next mods will be EBC then PowerFC.

Hi Ben, that's not quite right. I don't have to totally retune after every mod. If I have done the maps properly I can accomodate a wide range of mild upgrades (FMIC, boost, exhaust POd etc) without doing any retuning. Noting that it is always worthwhile to give it a quick power run after an upgrade and check the a/f ratios, but that costs less than a tank of gas. Plus it enables you to establish a relationship with the tuner. Everybody is human, if I see a person 4 or 5 times I am going to spend a little extra effort, a little extra time to get his car spot on. It might seem wrong, but I can't help it, someone who comes once and I never see again is simply not going to get the same level of "attention". Maybe that's why we don't do any retail work. :cheers:

155rwkw ?? mine did 152 with just the cat back??? hope this means my engines strong, that will make up for the ..........interesting panel work.:cheers:

Dont mean to butt in on the thread but if my car is already making 152rwkw what do you all think it will make with the 3"dump/front, cat and a Apexi SVCR set at 10psi and Greddy cam gear and all tune up?

Not sure dude... But remember, all dyno's give out different readings.

The other skyline that went on the *same* dyno, on the *same* day, with similar mods before mine only put out 122rwkw.

  • 2 months later...

Thought I might as well update this thread.

Finally installed a Front Mount Intercooler on the weekend :P.

There's a noticeable change in response. That is, for the better. Seems to come on boost a little quicker. The seat of the pants dyno says things are better.

Dyno run at UAS on saturday. So hopefully it'll be better :D

next month/next pay packet :D

I managed a 166.9 rwkw on the skylines autralia dyno day at UAS a little while ago, with only 10psi, stock side mount, full exhaust and pod.

I'm hoping for over 170rwkw now I've got the front mount. (also have a cold air box with cold air feed now too).

PFC will be coming! :P

wil..

Yeah.... I was trying to dial that out.... :P

If you notice it spikes to 12psi at the start too...

But one thing though, it holds the 10psi.

The ebc I have is a Greddy Profec B spec 2. I think I've dialled the spike out... Unsure if it'll still be undulating though.

Any ideas?

wil..

*****EDIT: created a new thread with the new dyno sheets since the FMIC install. click here -> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=51971

NOW @ 184.2rwkw on the UAS dyno!!!!!!!!!!

    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
