Hi All,

Just got my 1999 RSFour Auto dynoed and it put out 100awkw...

Its pretty stock with the exception of a 3" turbo back exhaust, Hiflow panel filter, Profec B set at 13psi....

Does this seem a little low?? I got it done at tunehouse (ill post up the dyno printout when i can) and supposedly it was done in 4th gear...??

What do you guys think, Is this a reasonable result with the mods done??

cheers, adrian

If you still have the stock ecu, as soon as you up the boost, esp 13psi they go into rich and retard. So they dump in heaps of fuel and retard timing equals no power gain

I would drop the boost back to 10psi until you can get some sort of ecu control. It will probably make the same if not more power.

yeah i'd be walking away from that quote. look for something in the $800-$850 range, that is a more acceptable price for supply, install, and tune.

EFI do a sau club price of $990 supply and install and tune.

Since we are talking about a "auto" stagea that price will not apply. Will have to use a z32 ecu and it will need to rewired as the plug to ecu is different. $1500 is sounding cheap to me.

My tuning. not as staight forward as a fairly stock car, has cost $900-1000 already and still needs another 2-3 hours x $180hr

that only applies to s1 mate

if its an auto s2 its the same board as the manuals cos the nistunes just contain the new fuel and ignition maps

Planning to order the chip from nistune directly (anybody here installed themselves...? Does the type 4 board require soldering?) and take it to a workshop to get dynotuned..

Can anybody recommend a Sydney workshop to dynotune a Nistune??

Adrian

yes it does require soldering your better off getting someone that has done them before to install the board dont think it is a do it yourself.$800.00 to $850.00 drive in drive out with they bit of luck they have the boards so you dont have to order them or send your ecu to nistune in S.A and they will do it and send it back then all you need is someone that can tune it

apparently unigroup or somthing like that in sydney are the ppl to go to

the guy there is apparently a wizard at powerfc's and just about anything

and to put the nistune in needs a proper de-soldering gun because you have to remove some solder from the board, put the nistune in and solder it back up and it can be tricky to get it out without heating the board up too much and its tricky to get it out in one go (which you pretty much have to do)

Yeah it can be a bit tricky to get the EPROM out without damaging the board. I isntalled a Nistune board once. Didn't take that long. Just needed a lot of hot air to get the chip out and then solder wick to clean up the left over solder.

just got stagea back from horse power in a box. got the nistune chip done and made 200 rwkw (front shaft removed) not bad considering the boost drops from 12 psi to 9 high up in the rev range. and all ive done to the car is a fmic, pod filter and replaced the rear muffler with a straight pipe. $1200 worth of mods well spent now need to save for that 3076 and other supporting bits

Good return! I am sure you will find car feels quite zippy with 200kw v stock!

oah shit yeah, major differance. feels great when it comes on boost, just wish it would hold it all way through

ebay - turbotech boost controller

its the best manual boost controller out there and should help you keep the same psi to redline

Can someone please tell me about this nistune piggy back computer, i havent been around the forums for a while and have lost a bit of touch with whats good and whats not for stag's, where can i get it from? where in melbourne is good to get it tuned and whatever else i might need to know about it would be much appreciated.

Cheers Simon

I finally got around to putting my results up...

Intake mods: Custom powerduct, K+N filter, 80mm intake, stage 1 Sierra highflow bushed turbo, cut down Greddy intercooler, 600 x 220 x 76, with custom piping.

Cam's denso plugs, still not breaking down at 1.1mm.

Custom 3.5 inch dump into highflow cat then 3 inch to quiet legalis system.

Blitz SBC type r boost controller.

Oil cooler, trans cooler.

E85 in the tank, most noticeable change yet.

R33 gtr Tomei fuel pump with ryco filter inline.

Deka 610cc injectors.

Emanage ultimate with map sensor.

Built re5 box with valve body, extra clutches and the converter unlocked with a switch.

17" Ku36 semi's on drifteks.

BC coilovers.

Plenty more, not performance based, the list would go on forever. :)

Had a little bit of a dissappointing result at the SAU:SA Dyno day today the M35 only pulled 126 KW :blink: It was on a mainline dyno, which they say under reads - but even so, would've liked a few more numbers. At least Ive got a baseline for future comparisons though.

Any mods? Stock exhaust?

If not - cheap mods- get a high performance filter for the stock air box and bump the boost up a couple of pounds. More expensive - 3in turbo back system.

Turbo has apparently been high flowed, I have the invoice for it - but it doesnt really give too much detail as to what exactly was done, I should perhaps ring them up and enquire (The cars Previous owner had it done)

Other than that, all stock (To the best of my knowledge). I do have the nismo adjustable exhaust, which has siezed up and Ive set to the 'silent' mode rather than the 'sport' mode. I guess this might account for 5kw if I opened it up :blink:

Ive got a new ECU on the way from Japan, should arrive this week - that'll probably dial up the boost a bit I suspect. For futher power considerations, the 3" dump is on the cards - Scotty has a jig to make them up now too.

Highflowed? When you put the 3in system on have a look to see if it has steel wheels and if so you should be able to push it up to 16 - 18psi if you have the ecu to support it. May need more fuel, afm by then (unless your ecu uses map reading) ...then you should have up to 100 more awkw!!

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
