hey,

I just had my r33 dyno, and the dyno was stop cuz it started to ping (was only running 0.6bar). So its time for FMIC.

I want to do it right the 1st time so im going to buy a intake plenum alone with the fmic.

I was looking at the Greenline website and saw

Trust GReddy Surge Tank

(Intake Parts) ¥73,631

Intake Plenum. Suitable for use with TRUST or standard fuel rail and injectors.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trust Throttle Body Adapter

(Intake Parts) ¥7,363

Adapter to use factory throttle body with GReddy Surge Tank (Intake Plenum).

I was told i would need the throttle body adapter, is this ture?

and is this baiscly all i need apart from the ic?

thanks mike

You may also want to take it to a decent dyno shop, I have trouble believing you got detonation at only 0.6 bar, thats like stock boost (pluss a tiny bit). Why even tune it for 0.6bar, I mean add a bleed valve and go for 0.9bar (and you may have problems with detonation on hot days - but not at 0.6)

Just a thought - I assume you an exhaust and air pod ????

Before you go out and buy FMIC and Plenum, (I personally think plenum is a bit overkill unless you have a rebuild engine and ready to run a giant boost/high HP application)

do you make sure that your pinging is:

- not caused by merely heatsoak from the stock intercooler?

- dirty/stuffed plugs, or plugs with the wrong heat range installed?

- bad injectors (leaning out)?

- dying fuel pump? (not supplying enough fuel - lean mixture)

- stuffed AFM?

- blocked fuel line?

- stuffed engine (do a quick compression test on all cylinders to make sure)?

at the end of the day, I'd say go get fmic is good, but intake plenum hmmm...

not always needed if u had stock turbo and running under 1 bar. u might better

save the money for something else and get the greddy plenum till later. Many ppl on the forum can easily get 250rwkw with stock plenum, just exhaust, ecu, fmic and upgraded turbo.

hey thanks for the reply,

my car is running 100%.

The car has some sort of custum turbo using the differnt front end and the stock r33 rear end, also the car has a ebc set to 0.6bar (no spiking) i have exhuast (catback), ait filer, bov and r34 gt-t cooler upgrade.

But yeah the place i took the car too is very good place (not a backyard job) was done a ShootOut Mode Dynodansice (whoever u spell it) V4.

Dude - your car is not running 100% fine if it is pinging.

And also - just because your AFR graph goes up and down like that doesn't neccessarily mean you are pinging.

Pinging is an un-controlled explosion - a physical sound - not measured on a Dyno Graph -

You car might be pinging tho - we cant tell from here.

A front facing plenum won't fix pinging. Get your car tuned properly. Get a FMIC with a kit that redirects the air to your std plenum.

Put more fuel in

Get a bigger fuel pump

Retard your timing

There are lots of reasons that your AFR line is going like that

Cheers,

B-Man; the person who did the dyno run isnt a no-body and know his shit. He told me get fmic. i want to get a plenum for the simple fact that if i do change my turbo there is no point me doing the ic piping 2times if i go from stock to aftermarket plenum.

Also my car is tune fine, the dyno dude said if i got a safc II, it would be pointless he wont change my air, fuel ratio cuz they are fine not too rich and not lean. my timing is stock

Man I got 180rwKW out of a standard intercooler, and only had trouble with pinging on hot days when driving it too hard for too long (heat soak), and the boost was set to 13psi, so your figures are way off the mark if you cant tune it without pinging. My guess is that there is another problem with your car.

Im not sure whats wrong with the car, it drivers very nice, (and when i run 0.6bar and push it to limiter in 1/2/3rd gear i have no pinging problems) but on the dyno it started to ping at around 5500rpm in 4th gear :confused:

my ic might possible be ****ed its a r34 gtt cooler which is bigger than the 33 cooler so i through it would cooler better.

My 1st run i made 189rwhp (on stock boost 0.4bar) my 2nd run on stock boost also went down to 184rwhp (because of heat i was told)

The car was just done for a power-run not a tune

    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
    • This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too
