Had my R33 GTS25t tuned at RUF performance today. I was reasonably happy with the result (185.5rwkw @ 12psi), although I was optimistically hoping for a little more to be honest. Power curve looks good all the way to the rev limit though.

Current mods are:

Power FC

Profec B Spec II EBC (12psi)

Blitz LM Intercooler

3" Cat Back Exhaust

K&N Panel Filter

Not sure what mods to do next - I wouldn't mind having 200+ rwkw :)

Thanks for the comments. I had replacing the front/dump pipe and getting a hi flow cat on my list of things to do...just didn't really have the dosh to do it right now (it was either that or get the ebc...I decided to get the ebc cause my bleed valve couldn't hold boost). I'm kinda hungry to get to 200rwkw though, so I might just put the credit card into more hurt town and get the exhaust work done in the next month or so. Can anyone recommend a good exhaust shop in Sydney? Also I've seen the split style dump pipes here. Are these the way to go?

Also, how much would an adjustable exhaust cam gear cost approximately?

My Ex Cam Gear dyno review here

Theirs a solid 15-20rwkw for you :P

Edit: What happened from 6500-7000rpm?

Interesting results you got there - good to see there's a fair improvement with both sets of mods.

As for what happened between 6500-7000rpm, that's a bloody good question! I do know that the tuner set the rev limit to just over 7000rpm, but i've got no idea why the curve didn't print out for the last 500rpm.

Approx $160 to purchase (nengun) and $100 to fit/tune.

Best bang for buck you'll get although your power curve is very nice so you may not notice as much as what I did.

lovely curve you have there, all i can really suggest is a dump pipe for sure and i suppose why not get the exhaust cam gear as well becuase for the relatively low price, results such as what benm got from it are possible.

after that, make sure you pay off the credit card first becuase mods after that stage make the credit card go into hurt town a lot faster...haha...good luck with the quest for 200rwkw

An adj cam gear (usually only put on the exhaust cam on RB25det engines) lets you fine tune the camshaft to the engine.

Most people have found that 3 to 4 degrees retarded on the exhaust cam works well, or is at least a good starting point.

Have a read through Benm's thread (link is above), it's a good write up.

That graph looks VERY like mine when I run it for the first time with that dip in around the same spot, I didnt a a PFC though just a MINES chipped ECU other mods about the same though. That dip in power (on my car) was from it running rich(a slite miss) and all we could do at the time(because I had no tunable computer) was change plug gaps from .8 to .7 and it gave a perfect power curve and took the top power too 201kw with a huge gain in midrage. So id be looking at your air/fuel ratio in that 4000rpm range and that might just take you to your 200kw your chasing..... :cheers:

Hey mason have you seen a yellow s5 rx-7 at ruff b4.He's a mate of mine.
Nah, didn't see it when I was there. There was a couple of nice looking Evo8's behind the workshop that caught my eye though...

Just had a look on the Greenline website and they've got a variety of adj cam gear's for around $160-$190 + freight. After seeing the results benm and Jay95R33 got with them, I think I'll invest in one of them once I've done the front/dump pipe...seems like a good bang for buck improvement.

muaythailuke, thanks for the advice. The tuner did say that he played around with a few things to try and smooth out the power curve in the mid-range. I'll mention the a/f ratios to him next time I'm down there...hopefully they might have the a/f graph still on file so I can take a look at it.

      Agree with Rob. I recently did mine and replacing with a brand new unit made the most sense compared with rebuilding my existing gearbox.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you suggesting that the kit did a cheap and nasty job of just jamming the wheel in between other things and caused the misalignment? I mean, we normally do this with an integrated crank trigger wheel, not something bodged on. It's not 1995 any more.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I mean, given the number of BMWs you own their tolerance for improper torque is rather low. The number of torque + angle spec bolts and non-reusable bolts in one is nuts.

      Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
