@Dose Pipe Sutututu can confirm, plenty other cars doing more power on standard filter. I'm not opposed to changing it, but when others don't need to, it makes me question it. I am happy to put a new one in there either way as it's been a while on 85.

The easiest way is to do a run without the filter. This is how I tested it when I was on the dyno.

Prior to that, I changed injectors, fuel pump, and FPR, so you can do all of that too and then change the filter if you would prefer to burn money ;)
It took a FPR gauge on the dyno to actually determine why it was leaning out, which lead to me dropping the filter.

It seems 34 specific though, I do wonder if it is the same part for the Ryco filter or whether 34's have another restriction in the system somewhere that 33's and 32's don't. Is it the same? I have honestly never looked.

The other option is just make 360kw on -9's which is certainly enough for those turbos.

 

Ideally just want to make one trip back. Not go in, test without filter, no success, come home, buy more shit etc. 

The workshop is small so cars cannot sit there waiting for parts and given it's a 2wd dyno means front drive shaft out each time. 

Thanks for the input, seems the earls and similar are cheap enough anyway.

I don't think it's the case of the filter being clogged so much, as much as what GTSBoy said, the actual filter itself is restrictive and it can't flow that much fuel in it.

This^^

Dan think of it like an exhaust, you can run 350kw through a 3" exhaust but you are not doing yourself any favours. Just bin it and put a good filter in and never worry about it again. 

Arent std efi filters 10micron. Hell my fuel pick up is 15micron!

 

Not sure I would chase better flow thru less filtration. I ended up going twin bosch OE 10micron filters that have M14 female threads. At the end of the day if you want filtration and flow its a matter of surface area...also with E85 and cheap filters you may just want to monitor it that they dont collapse due to any  resin/glue bonding they may use in the filter element letting go in an E85 application. Part of the reason I went OE Bosch as there is loads of experience with E85. Ryco etc is probably fine but finnily enough I see oil pressure differences when going from Ryco oil filter to OE Nisan oil filter so I guess there is something in them

So, I think this may also be a problem also? 

While removing crap form the car to get into the tank again, I had a light bulb moment and checked the wiring I used for the pump vs the Walbro specs. 

The roll of wire was bought from Jaycar when questioned what I'd need for a fuel pump etc. 

As you can see on the specs @ 13.5volts, this pump wants more than the 15amp rating of the wiring. I assume this would mean the pump is not able to draw the current it needs? or does it simply draw the current and slowly burn out the wiring?

I'm not elec savvy enough to know what happens. D

Does it cause more resistance in the circuit and stop it drawing the amps it needs or does it just burn through the wiring (but not stop the pump flowing hard). 

Either way I'll replace it.

How long is the run? Because there will be a significant voltage drop if it's 16GA from the engine bay to the fuel pump.

Small wire, higher resistance, more heat, energy loss during transmission (well not lost, it's converted into heat - laws of conservation of energy).

thinner wire has a higher resistance, meaning a greater voltage drop over its length. the power loss in that drop in voltage gets dissipated as heat in the wire.

I'd be using 12-14 AWG wire, if its a short run 14 is ok, if its long use 12. 

A 460 at 75+psi & 14v is up around ~20 amps of current.

also of note, the bulkhead pipes in the R34 fuel tank hat are plastic and appear to be a bit thinner than the R32-33 hat. might be an optical illusion, but they look a bit smaller to my eye.

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
