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.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
