So what exhaust have you got?

Did he adjust ur cams?

Have you got a boost controller?

Still running the nismo twin 2.5" atm which I think is the biggest restriction, hopefully will get the twin 3" soon. I believe the tomei cam gears was adjusted, but I'm still on stock cams. Yes do have boost controller, it's profec B II. Can you sugest anything else I should do?

Not too sure how much bigger intake pipes are going to make when the smallest point of the whole system is the elbows that bolt onto the compressor housings. There is a mod you can do here. Either way, 400 kW on -5's and much more has been achieved with all the stock gear in place many times.

Get a decent sized exhaust on it. Twin 2.5's when you sit down and work it out isn't big at all. I'd say that would be external diameter too which makes things even worse.

Very interesting to see what the cooler and Nismo pipes did. 450 RPM is massive!

So y can't u run more boost

Yeah the tuner did turn boost up to 20 psi for third run but only gained 2 kw at peak, although torque at mid-range did increase some, he was worried by reliability as my motor internals is still stock so dropped boost back down to 19 psi.

Hi Paul the exhaust is on my next to do list, being put it back due to budget and also a bit worried about how loud it might be, I think you've got twin 3" into 4" is that right?

I think the nismo intercooler hard pipes and the intercooler made the biggest difference. I'll try and post the dyno sheet so you can see the difference. But it's still not all good as I have poor torque below 4550 rpm which I hope the bigger exhaust will help.

It sounds like the symptoms of restriction. Just get a y pipe with a 3.5 inch collector and run a full 3.5inch straight through. More than enough for a stock motor running 5s. But I think I said that on page 1.

Hi mate yes you did, haven't forgot, just didn't have the $2k for the complete exhaust at the time, it is next thing I'll be getting. It does make sense as the tuner also said my exhaust was way too quiet so there must be restrictions.

What's the smallest point of the exhaust? Jap exhausts are good for "step downs" before the mufflers.

Didn't get a chance to measure when the exhaust was out, but from gtr forum UK, the size are 2 x 60mm from turbo, merge to 80mm after rear diff, and 100mm exit. So i guess it's 2 x 2.36" to 3.14" with 3.9" exit.

They should be coming on a bit earlier, interested to see your AFR as they come on, I would say you might be a bit rich as you come on boost hence the slight dip and delay.

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
