Hi guys 

 

R33 rb25det s1

I just changed my intercooler from a 580x28×68 not sure on brand as i got it with car to a HDI gt2 600x300x80 and went back for tune and lost 400rpm in response/full boost

Power with before intercooler was 341rwk and power with hdi gt2 intercooler made 360rwk 

Before would hit 20psi at 3800 rpm now 4200rpm with just intercooler swap nothing else no piping changed nothing/still same length and size

(Hypergear gear ss2/external gate/e85)

 

Boost level on before intercooler was 20.5psi and boost on intercooler hdi gt2 22psi 

Would see Full boost in first gear with before intercooler and now cant even make more then 12-13 psi in first on hdi gt2 

Could it be the intercooler to big or just cheap chinese intercooler compared to before 

Any help would be great 

 

Sorry wrong thread

Extra 20KW would suggest its a better intercooler. How much time was spent on the tune? It would be quite different with that much more air.

Don't think you would want full boost in 1st.

I had similar issues when I had a front end smash and put a cheap fmic on until I could afford to go back to the blitz fmic I had previously before the accident 

long story short after a dyno run I went and got the blitz one straight away because the cheapy was not doing me any favours whatsoever

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
