screwed more boost into it this time.....?

Nismoid, I swear I have seen a vid with AC with his ass sitting in your boot on the dyno @ autosalon :thumbsup:

Just saying.

Exactly the same boost, just more timing! The turbo is hitting a brick wall after 22psi :)

lucky u guys .. i cant keep traction with mine R32 gtst 93 model on 180kwts 1st 2nd 3rd gear only wheel spin and going sideways.. any clues on that? had the diffs looked at ..nothing that can be done about it ... i got told ?

Mate i run 240rwkw and I know what you mean but they're are ways around this slippery slide that you get with r32s.

1) Have a fiddle with your Profec B or alternative ebc and spread the boost as wide as possible over your rev range. This will help decrease the sudden surge of boost and subsequent wheelspin (which is wicked but not when you wanna rape a VE 6 litre)

2) Widen/change your heat cured tyres. I run 245/17s on the rear and 225/17s on the front. Old tyres have f**kall grip (remember this)

3) By a heavy sub box and plonk it in your boot. Don't even have to hook it up but looks better than a pile of sand.

4) When going out to drag, pick your heaviest mate up and take him with you. He'll be good for some grip.

5) Proper use of clutch - foot off clutch before foot on throttle.

6) Put some weight on yourself :D

If your still not happy, buy a GTR!

Well, with a bit more ignition, running the gate atmo I have found a bit more power.

This will be serving as the baseline tune for the install of the Plazmaman plenum (finally) and some Tomei cams over the next two weeks. Will be interesting to see what differences the two mods make. I am hoping for about 285rwkws and a bit more mid and less drop off from the cams and plenum...but I suspect the car will be laggier, more peaky and generally crap compared to how it is now ;)

"...dont fix what aint broke"

Also, regarding traction....this is on crappy Nanakangs

So if you have traction problems with 180rwkws, or anything under 250rwkws then you really need to look at the quality of shocks and spring rates you are using along with the wheel alignment. The vid shows problems with my car under brakes, but thats because I did not bother to put my brake setup back on the car as the intent of the weekend was to get some more running on the setup and check out the tune. A brake upgrade on the rear does not work with std brakes on the front :ermm:

I hear all these people talk about dyno wheel spin yet i've never seen my car do it lol

Im missing out :ermm:

...cause it needs more balls ;)

My last tune, strapped down and people in the car etc still turning them - good for a laugh but yeah not good for anything else

What spring rates are the coil overs and what tyres+rim combo you using?

If you are using typical jap drift 8kg bullshit on aussie roads and nankangs 215s stretched on 9" rims then its going to spin with 100kw.

I've got 240kw and I can put it down in 1st gear with minimal spin, using fairly soft 4.5kg springs (not 'coilovers'), and 235 federal 595 evo tyres on 9" rims

If your bushes or hicas rods are stuffed and you are getting weird dynamic toe then this will make it sloppy and kick the rear out a lot as well, test the rear wheels for play, will also show up as tramp and horrible vibrations if it is the hicas rods, at least it did with me.

What's the most PSI you would run through an internally stock, but fresh (8000km after full rebuild) RB20DET?

I've got

Full RB20DET rebuild with all the usual honing/blanking blah blah

FMIC

Full turbo back exhaust with performance cat

Greddy Dump Pipe

z32 AFM

Cold air intake

Splitfire coilpacks

550cc injectors

ECU Remap

Garrett GT2871R

Bosch 044

Exedy Super HD Clutch

230.3rwkw on 16 psi...

Just wondering how far I can turn the boost up. I'd run it on 16 usually with the max psi used every now and then.

Did this ever happen?

Well I installed the Plazman plenum and played with a few other things and sadly I cant get the response back :( It seems whilst others have seemed to get good results, I cant say the same. I did as close to back to back as you can...same dyno, same tuner and as you can see no real benefit.

med_gallery_462_50_44142.jpg

I still have the cams to try with E85, and also have a larger exhaust housing that will let me run more boost...but need to spend some time enjoying it on the track rather then leaving it in the shop waiting to be worked on :)

  • 2 weeks later...

Well, now that I am back in Aus and the car is back together. I am goign to keep this thread alove :)

So did two track days in two weekends. Did two laps at Sandown and got booted because of noise :( So the following weekend went to Winton and gave it a wrap...

The basics were 19psi, 245rwkws and shifting between 7,400-7,600rpm for 43 laps. I have lost a bit of power as United have stopped selling 100RON so had to wind some ignition of it. Its amazing how sensitive my engine is to ignition, it really loses and gains power with a few degrees....so need to look at getting back on a better quality fuel. Before the plenum install i ran 98 plenty of times on the 100ron tune and no issue.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
