Not sure what kind of knowledge you have with cars/tuning, but if you don't know much about these cars it may be worth getting someone else who does know them to tune it, but if you are from where your location says then, good luck :D

Yes, I am from trinidad and I am not too familar with this car and engine, I've tuned a couple WRXs and I work more on the Dragster's here. I do the electrical, computer and nitrous systems on the Rails. http://www.partytimeracing.20megsfree.com and http://www.mintcars.20megsfree.com.

I need information like the stock timing, if the car has a MAP sensor, the max boost on the stock engine etc. I already did some tuning on the car but I think I have not been able to get the full potential of the engine as yet.

the car has 2 airflow meters from factory,it has a map sensor but its for the gauge only and has no effect on the ecu.....the factory base timing is 15-20 degree's with the bac valve and tps disconnected....as for the link ecu,throw the thing up in the air and run as far away from it as possible before gravity brings it back to earth

There are no mods on the car as yet. The owner was told that the link would be able to faciliate upgrades later-on when he did any modifications. I'm stuck with it right now. I will have to do the best I can with it. It is twin turbo (stock), only 14 psi each (I think). What is the "bac valve"?. Where can I download a manual for this car (in english)?. I may be able to split the MAP sensor and send a signal to the link since it uses TPS and MAP for control. Do you think its better to run the car on TPS control alone?.

...why do you want to fit that useless peice of crap to the car?....

The owner of the car already had it installed in the car. He was duped into buying it. The original installer could not get the car working good, so they brought the car by me. I work on his Dragster so he thinks I can do a better job than the installer. I did manage to get his Idle down and the surging also the trottle response. I still have the boost problem where I need to retard for the boost and map fuel for higher speeds. The car is running rich at the moment but I had to leave it like that because the installer had the link set up for max boost and not incremental. I will have to find out what the installer did and get back to you. I know for a fact that the car is not firing sequential since they set it up for group injector firing, this I also have to fix. Do you have an e-mail address I can write to.

ylwgtr2 knows his stuff so whatever he tells you i'd believe :D

If its a stock RB26, stock turbos, 14psi is on the safe side... if you want a push a little more a lot of people run 1 - 1.1bar on stock turbos... power with stock turbos and stock fuel system will probably net you around 250-280rwkw

throw it out and tell him to put the stocker back in?

or maybe just buy a power FC mate

mark

I contacted one of the tuners at LINK and he told me that they have got 295+HP from the stock R34GTR (at the wheels, without any mods) and with additional mods it can only go up. Then again, I am from Trinidad in the West Indies so I have to take what they say.

as I progress with the tune I will let you guys know. One thing, you can really get addicted to driving the R34GTR.

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
