Hey all, just wondering if my set up sounds right?

95' R33 GTR V-Spec.

60,000 kms

I bought the car 7 months ago with:

Bee R racing front pipe.

HKS super drager exhaust.

115mm thick Trust intercooler.

K&N Panel filter.

And the bigger turbos.

I have since fitted:

Power FC.

Apexi AVC-R boost controller.

Hi flo cat.

It was tuned to max boost of 1.2bar due to the injectors running at 96% and the air flow meters were maxing out at 6000rpm.

The tuner said the turbos looked like Group A's and I do trust them as they came highly recommended

With this set up it made 243.9km at all 4 wheels at 1.2bar.

O.K. I've seen and heard ppl make this if not more power at lower boost from smaller turbos? Is this because they were running at their peak efficiency and mine aren't?

If so, what boost press is peak efficiency for these turbos?

If not, any ideas whats going on?

Any info would be great.

Brad.

The injectors are standard and thats why 1.2bar was max.

Just want to know when these and the afm's are up graded, what boost can I run?

and will it be a bigger gain because they are working more efficiently at higher boost?

The diferance between 0.8bar and 1.2bar was 44kw at all four, with another 0.4bar should I get another 44kw, more than 44kw or even less at the wheels?

Or am I just way off?

That seems about right in my opinion. You should max out at around 300rwkw on a std motor (depending on what spec your turbos actually are). My car makes 270kw at the treads on 1bar, and at 1.3 bar its at 300rwkw. Hasn't been tuned properly as yet because I'm too busy fixing things like radiators, hoses etc, so the maps have only been "cleaned up" just so I can drive it. But once I get it tuned again it should make a little bit more.

If your after more power, fit some aftermarket cams and cam gears. This is what is next on my list. That should net some decent gains.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
