Hey Team,

 

Have my car booked in for a tune next month, just wondering what HP everyone would expect ill make..

 

Engine is S2 RB25DET good compression, only mods are:

-Yellow jacket coils

-S15 Spec R injectors 440cc?

-Tomei adjustable fuel reg

-Walbro 350 L/HR Fuel pump (Hard wired)

-Complete 3" straight pipe exhaust, no mufflers

-Cold air intake 

-FMIC

-Apexi power FC 

Everything else is standard, im hoping for around 200-220kw is this a reasonable goal?

To carry on from Duncan's valuable observation....

Standard turbo will not likely exceed 200rwkW at the maximum sensible boost pressure, which is only ~12 psi on these turbos.

The yellow coils have a better than even chance of pissing you off as soon as the boost exceeds 10 psi. These are not a good choice. You'd be well advised to f**k them off before you go to the dyno so you don't waste their time.

Sorry forgot to add it has a Apexi boost controller, tuner said will likely set it around 10psi

Tuner said hes had good results with yellow jackets, engine come with some sh1ty ebay coils so just happy there gone

Is there a problem with the RB ones? as my S14 has been running Yellow jackets for going on 8 years now @14psi and never missed a beat

In that case, ~190 rwkW, at best. Probably less, because not Neo.

Well, if he's willing to risk his/your time on the dyno, then who am I to complain?

There is no difference between yellow jackets and "shitty ebay coils". Same same.

That is a very rare result.

As gtsboy already stated. The yellow jackets may cause you issues. Probably be ok at that power and boost level if spark plugs are gapped down to 0.6mm but still a risk and could potentially mean tuning doesn't get completed on first attempt, costing you more $. I'd replace them.

I'd estimate around 190rwkw with your listed mods.

To get more power reliably, you'll need at least a high flow turbo, will get you up to (250-260kw safely) but you'll  possibly need to upgrade your AFM and injectors. S15 injectors are good for around 230-240rwkw. Could just run enough boost to keep them happy.

Before you know it, you're running E85, big turbo, twin gates, blah blah 500rwkw 40k later. Yep do that lol 😂

fun fact first there was nissan coils then splitfire, then yellow jacket sent the drawings to china and then came the copies everything after splitfire is ebay. I wouldn't think its needs a tune, but if you want to see what it does and clean it up a guess 180-190rwkw, a z32 maf would be wise to use with your power fc and make a full 80mm intake 14 psi should get close to 200-220rwkw.

A tune is always a good idea. Especially when changing injectors and pumps.

with a stock turbo he won’t make that much 

Sorry seems ive missed a bunch of stuff lol, it is currently running a Z32 AFM which came with the Power FC.

Pulsar turbo and R35 Coil swap was definitely on the list of things to sort in the near future, but for now i just want to get some seat time as i was just running the DE before which done me well at a few drift days learning the ropes, this set up will be plenty for a few more events and im sure like anything will no doubt snow ball into a nasty build

To be fair, you can make over 200 rwkW. It's just a question of whether it is until tomorrow or the day after.

Back in the day there was a few of us with 180-200kw R33 GTSTs being very reliable for road and track day use for years.....but then 400 became the new 200 and 600 became the new 400 and everyone has expensive, broken projects.

There is nothing wrong with a lightly modified standard setup for years of reliable fun

understood....I was running 12 psi on the standard turbo for 180kw....standard intercooler, intake, ECU etc just an exhaust.

Oh, and some nice big sticky tyres

that's how I did it 14psi and rich jap chip few clicks of the cas till it didn't ping exhaust intercooler intake, no dyno the open road was testing, b road bruiser -  r33 gtst are great GT cars, refer nissan add

VCT no really working properly

Would only affect the low end, not the outright power produced.

Also 180kW is about right for a stock turbo, you could push a bit more boost and make 190~200kW then hours later (maybe minutes) be ready to buy a new turbo lol.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
