For reference, back in 2011 my 33 gtr with a built motor, good head t51r, full fuel system 1000cc injectors, and everything that should go with it was making 422kw on 20psi with 98

before going the full fuel system with surge tank and extra pump and to 4” exhaust, I think we maxed out out at 401 from memory.

Best bet would be to look through the dyno section for something with similar mods to you to get a reference of what to expect.

the end of the day a dyno is just numbers that can be fudged either way. True test of power is 1/4 mile

Immediately just lose the turbo timer so it doesn't give you problems one day. For the rest just try to track down a good tuner and post up the results!

Hang on, so does the car already have that list? Or is that to purchase?

 

No sane person would buy a power fc new nor those injectors considering the substantially better options available now. . If you already have them it's a different story.

 

 

And as above lose the turbo timer.

Haha yeh wow. Genuinely had to check if this post was from 2003 ?

 

OP, if your car already has those mods then just get the car tuned and be happy with where it ends up knowing that there is plenty of money to be wasted in the future chasing more.

Why get rid of the turbo timer? I thought they were a good thing for turbo engines to let them sit for a bit after driving before shutting off the engine.

And this is something that you cannot do for yourself? After all, it only needs doing if the car has been working the turbo a bit hard in the last couple of minutes before stopping. It hardly needs to be run to cool down on about 95% of stops.

@Berksgtr It'll get close to 400 rwkw or 380ish awkw on 98. T517 is rated closely to -5s. Unopened 26s have hit that target. It'll just be a tad laggy by todays standards. Will still be good. Gotta start somewhere! Congrats on the car :)

fair enough sure, but why get rid of the timer if he's already got it? The other post sounded like the timer itself would cause an issue.

Can attest to the shittness of turbo timers, I had one in the Skyline as a young pup. Caused all sorts of issues from not starting, to not switching off when the countdown reached 0, to being a parasitic drain on the battery, etc. Even after pulling it out, the loom has been hacked into, there's no making that reliable again. Its one of the reasons I undertook a complete rewire of my car.

 

Stupid things. Feel embarrassed to have had one. As GTSBoy says, try to think of the last time you boosted your car hard and then switched the engine off. It just doesn't happen, there is always 1 or 2 minutes of sedate driving before you park up that is far more effective than 30 seconds of idling. Superbly ricer modification.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
