Don't get me wrong she's running and pulling hard at 18psi still. All temps and pressures are normal. Just seems to have lost a bit at say 6000 to 7000 under full load? Trevs? Kizza?

unless boost has increased then i'd think you'd be fine

Panicked when we got to Toodyay. Jack was like there is smoke coming out from under the bonnet. Wtf. Bonnet was a bit hot with no blanket underneath it was steaming the rain over the turbo off the top of the bonnet. Was just running up the hills in 5th and loading it up on the way there with the boost controller off. Used 4th for the hills on the way home at 14psi no probs. Different animal to the 4,9 5.8 5.0 and 5.4 lesson learned. Bugger all torque at low revs. think I will get rid of the 200cell catco oval and go to the venom 100cell with the 5" substrate. Tuning is beyond my nuts and bolts ability. Any thoughts? We ran sweet to and from Albany and did 1000kms pushing it hard. The original 100 cell metal cat copped a massive smash over a trainline bump at full speed the substrate came loose and flew into the exhaust melted and killed it and we popped a intercooler hose because it blocked the exhaust.(the weekest link) have swaged pressure tested and redone all the tubes and hoses with a intercooler flush. Would I need to retune between replacing the cats? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

What ecu have you got?

Morning boys ,

Here you go - start at 10am -4.30

We can meet up at 9am Joondalup shopping centre ( Muzzbuzz ) Car park.
Take the new freeway extension from Joondalup straight to Neerabup.

Or any other suggestions ?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
