Hey guys,

just got a nistune for my r34 gt-t pretty bummed about the dyno results. i havent got the sheet yet but spoke to the tuners, ill post the sheets when i can.

rb25 neo det

Hi-flowed turbo - stage 2 from mta gold coast

3" exhaust from turbo back

840cc denso injectors

z32 afm

walbro 255

blitz se return flow intercooler

spitfire coil packs

gfb respons BOV

Greddy OLED ebc

car got 290hp at 14 psi, apparently the car was still pushing but the waste gate was opening at 14psi and wouldnt' let it go any further.

Just kind of bummed out after readying other guys getting around 220kw - 240kw with roughly same mods.

next step is to get an HKS 14psi actuator and run more boost, when I've got more money haha.

ill post some sheets when I get them tomorrow, but for now what do you guys think?

hahah yeah I know, I need to take it for a drive. Apparently the power curve is wicked and it can keep climbing once I've got a new actuator, I guess the end goal is to run around 18-19psi eventually. an HKS heavy duty actuator should fix it.

So it made 216 kW, which is 4kw short of what you were hoping for, and you still haven't actually driven the car?

You actually have nothing to be upset about yet

That power on a turbo of dubious "highflowness" and on 14 psi is not disappointing at all. It's only 14 psi!

These ^^

Do you mean the EBC wouldn't let you run any more boost? Or the wastegate actuator itself?

the wastegate itself opens at like 14 the ebc can hold way more. I thought the job of the ebc was to stop the wastegate seeing its max till youve reached the amount of boost you want?

A boost controller can bleed off some of the signal that the actuator sees, allowing you to increase boost above what the actuator is natively sprung for.

BUT......

There are limits. You can't use a bleeder to boost a 5psi actuator up to some much much higher setting like 15 psi (for example and using made up numbers). You can't usually go much higher than about double the native setting of the actuator. Having said that, I have a 5 psi actuator on a Neo turbo that is bled up to 11 or 12 psi.....so you certainly can go more than double. The question is just how much more. Anyway, the reason for not being able to arbitrarily wind up the boost is that the boost controller can't bleed off enough boost to raise it infinitely AND retain ability to control it with good response. On top of that, the exhaust manifold pressure will push the wastegate flap open against the weak spring of a low pressure actuator no matter whether the boost signal is completely disconnected or not!

So in your case, without us knowing what pressure actuator you have, it could be either or both of a couple of causes.

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
