Short of a stroker crank, is there anyway of spooling them up a little earlier (i.e. fattening the power curve a little)?

Do you expect that the HKS tubular exhaust manifolds will help with this? Head porting, bigger pipework, lower resistance IC?

5 to 8.5 k rev range is still street/track useable, but fattening it towards the low end will obviously make the car a lot more tractable.

Hi Gav, this is pretty much the same result others around the world have achieved with 2.6/2.7 litres and GTRS's. I didn't tune Mark's car (lucky him) but it is very comparable. Personally, for what I would use the car for, I would have gone to 3.1 litres but for Mark's purposes I reckon it will be great. :rofl:

Hi Mark, damn good result.  Pretty much what we discussed, they make some boost at ~5,000 rpm, really get into their stride at ~6,000 rpm, make max power at ~7,000 rpm and still have plenty at ~8,000 rpm.  They will be fun on a cool night, as long as it isn't raining.  :wizard:

yes sat night was on the way to the track and it was raining.... not happy....

cool night air it will love.... yes...

wed night will be the test.....

thanks for your input to my build up...

cheers...

Thanks for that.

also what was your power before C16, because i would like to try some C16 and i'm wondering what sort of power i might get.

we made 332kw at all four at 21 psi. i would like to see 400 at all four.

would you think that would be possible with the diffences that you saw.

cheers.

Hi Mark,

I just picked up my car literally 2 hrs ago :)

Just installed a set of these gtrs's on my r32 gtr, on 15psi it is making 304awkw.

My tuner wants to keep the boost conservative until i upgrade my exhaust from:

'2inch front pipes/3inch cat back'

With my new veilside system:

'2.5inch front pipes/3.5inch cat back'

I can then run 20-25psi depending on what i am after...

Is your bottom end standard?

Marko.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
