Ok so my r32 is been getting tuned for the last 3 weeks now got a cool to day same it only made 130kw something do add up here.

It got haltech Ecu 440cc injectors gt25/30 full 3- 3 1/2 exhaust fmic spitfire coil pack big fuel pump fuel reg.

something don't add up that was 15psi.

Any one else had a shit tune done

My r32 has been getting tuned for the last 3 weeks. I got a call today saying it only made 130kw. Something doesn't add up here.

It has got a haltech Ecu, 440cc injectors, gt25/30, full 3- 3 1/2 exhaust, flick, spitfire coil packs, big fuel pump fuel reg. Etc.

Something thing doesn't add up. That was 15psi.

Has anyone else had a shit tune done?

^^ lol thanks for the english translation Ben :)

I'm sure in the history of skylines people have had a shit tune done before. But the motor may have other issues. What was the motor taking in terms of ignition timing at peak torque? post the dyno sheet as well.

What did the tuner say? Is he experienced with Haltechs? Yes, 130rwkw is even less than a stock skyline makes. Something's wrong, if the tuner couldn't point a finger at something find another tuner. He should have given you feedback on why he thinks it's so low.

That's funny because my r32 is been getting tuned for the last 3 weeks now got a cool to day same it only made 130kw something do add up here.

so I rang him yesterday and he told me that it is restricted some were and it's not cooling right. And then tell me he had tuned the boost up to 24 psi to see what it had I was lucky the head gasket didn't pop. So now all I now high boost is 18 psi at 180 something kw which is still pretty shit numbers for 18 psi I think. He then sends me a pic of the fuel leaking out of were then sender goes in he didn't want to fix it. For $20 o ring and 5mis and a pic of the exhaust manifold glow hot

I don't think he know what he is doing on rb and haltech

And then tell me he had tuned the boost up to 24 psi to see what it had

15psi has a restriction AND not cooling right so lets try almost double the boost... pointless. diminishing returns. risking motor damage. what a genius.

find a haltech/RB expert.

trolling

not necessary :down:

He said the exhaust manifold was restricting it and that its get red hot and that's all he told me bout cooling.

There is no cat just straight throw to muff that's it. I don't see how to would change all I did was put new motor in that's it. was running fine when I took it there just a bit on the lean side

it's not the exhaust manifold. RB20 and RB25 exhaust manifolds are identical, and on RB25s they flow 300rwkw without any problems. So it's absolutely impossible that it's causing a problem at 130rwkw!

If it's glowing red hot then it points to the timing being too retarded. retarded timing explains both the low power and the hot exhaust manifold.

question is why is it retarded, either it is knock limited or there is a restriction somewhere although it sounds like it's not the exhaust. if it was running lean then richening it up should have been the first thing he did.

silly question but you are running 98RON fuel right?

I had a mate with a 180sx that suddenly lost power. You could also rev it and have flames come out the exhaust just by pumping the throttle at about 2500rpm. It turned out that the exhaust cam was snapped (but still holding together, just twisted a bit) and so the ignition timing was out relative to the cam.

I'd check the cam timing, as well as making sure the cam sensor is working.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
