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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
