After heaps of small dramas i finally got my R33 gtst with GT-RS turbo running. Mods are as follows:

- 3.5' exhaust with CES split dump/highflow cat

- Blitz SBC/EBC

- oil catch can

- intercooler

- oil cooler (not fitted at moment due to leak)

- power fc

- running standard fuel pump, surge tank and bosch 044 pump.

- splitfire coils

- Z32 afm

- Unique Auto 1400kg 5 puck clutch

- 5.5kg lightened flywheel

Car produced 240rwkw at 1.2-1.3 bar, tuned by mark at MRC motorsport castle hill. Boost starts around 3500 and really kicks in at 4000rpm, goes hard till redline. All round this seems as a very good all round turbo. Will hopefully be running it at eastern creek this coming wednesday so will see what times i can get.

Other people producing similar power, just like to know what type of petrol consumption are u getting? i am still not yet finished my first tank but have passed half way and only done 70 or so km's, does this sound right?

Ahh no. Half a tank is 37 litres, that's 1.9 kilometres to the litre! Worst I see is 6 kilometres to the litre with 265 rwkw. Maybe it is just "new power syndrome" where the right foot always stays on the floor so the brain can experience the excileration. Maybe give it a few days for thje effect to wear off. If it is still 1.9 then maybe drop back and get the lambda sensor reconnected ('cause that's what usually gets left off) .:(

ahahaha my thoughts exactly.

It wears off when you start filling up once a day and realise that its a crock.

Some simple backyard calcs show that 240rwkw from this turbo is about all you will get with his current set up. Remember the original emissions cams, weak valve springs, inlet and outlet plenums are still used which means the breathing potential of the engine is not altered from a stock set up.

Typical 200rwkw rb25det needs 12psi. Add in 15psi of atmo pressure and your absolute pressure ends up being 27psi.

His car knocked out 240rwkw. Difference in power is an additional 20%. So it takes approx. 20% more absolute pressure to get that power if all other variables remain the same ie. Stuff mentioned above.

So we get 20% on top of 27psi which equals 32.4 absolute or ~17-18psi (1.2 bar) gauge.

Throw in your usual dyno corrections, tuning parameters, alignment of jupiter to the sun and there you have it. Although you might squeeze in another 10rwkw if you had a butcher for a tuner and didn’t mind swapping engines every year :D

Fatz just posted about an XR6 turbocharger.

Similar response, by the sound of it. good @3500rpm, madman @4500rpm

260-270kw before the squirters maxed out.

Can't wait for these to flood the used market. mmmmmmmmmmm !!!

I got similar power to boro with 230 rwkw @ 12psi so I'll race boro soon enough & we'll see how his car pulls! He should have some more torque @ 19psi :aroused: I wana see the dyno sheets!

The second i get my Power FC & Tune, z32, & Injectors my boost will be going to 18 - 19 psi too :headbang:

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
