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

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
