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

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.

    • Lets keep this going , Spotted this very stock V35 in Penrith and also saw a nice R32 FLY past me on Castlereagh rd , sounded really good.
    • Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.
    • I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.
    • I much prefer colder weather to hot weather, and especially prefer cold to hot and humid, Goulburn does gets pretty warm in the hotter months, but, I've found the humidity there is not as painful as even Sydney, the humidity up north is to oppressing for this old rooster  In saying this, it does get rather "nippy" in Goulburn for early morning, late in the evening walks, but nothing that a layer or two, some thermal gloves, and a beanie doesn't fix to make it an enjoyable experience, which is much more bearable to me than the oppression of heat and humidity,  especially at night when your trying to sleep If I recall correctly, a "wise man" once said that the "Southern Tablelands" was gods country, and I will not argue that point with him for the fear of a "permaban" LOL In car part related news: My intake is currently in Botany getting processed for the last leg of its shipping journey to my door   
    • Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)
