SK where did you get your intercooler from. Do you or does anyone know where to get them from, or how I could get one?

I bought mine from the SAU for sale section for reasonable price. They come up pretty regularly, have your money ready and move swiftly.:cheers:

if anyone is interested in going this route with their Stagea, i have a Trust sidemount for sale. they are larger than the R34IC's but bolt up just as easily.

i will be shipping it after next week to the highest bidder.

Trust IC

Damn it, I thoguht that sydneykid had put up the results?

Sydneykid, any news mate? we're all dieing here waiting.

Thanks Mate

Sorry, but it is racing season, Philip Island last weekend, Oran Park this weekend, Darwin in 2 weeks, Sandown 2 weeks after that and back to Oran Park the next week. That's 5 race meetings in 7 weeks in 3 states.

The Stagea stuff just has to wait in line. Plus I have to test the Magic Cat (for emmisions) and to do that I need to put the 3.25" exhaust on. I am aiming for emmisions testing this week and dyno tuning next week before we go to Darwin. But it is tight and we have no room for issues.

SK as you are coming to Dwn and me living here let me know if ya want to catch up. I will be pit crewing for one of the local HQ drivers (my boss). so if you need a hand for running about let me know as I am on hoildays with my son who is up from Brissy.

Cheers ICE

Thanks for the invite, I may not be going up though. We have a new ECU package and I think I will have to send the engine tuner up instead. There are no spare seats on the plane, so it's him or me. Will know for sure later this week.:rofl:

OK I have just installed my GTT intercooler and was wondering what PSI people are running with this bigger one?

Before with my stock IC my boost was maxing at 8 PSI, now with the R34 GTT IC I am maxing out at 10 PSI. only mods are exhuast and air intake no boost controller of any sort.

So when I put my manual boost controller in is it safe to run 12PSI or stay at 10 or what do people recomend with a stock turbo?

I wouldnt think the intercooler alone would change your boost level by that much. I noticed a boost increase of just above 0.5psi. The only reason it will increase boost if your car is stock is because of the solenoid that bleeds air above 4500rpm. The amount it bleeds allows boost to go from 5psi to about 8psi above 4500rpm. As you are removing a restriction you will most likely have more air supply and it would need to bleed off a bit more ar to keep the pressure at 8psi which it doesn't so you get a little more. I still would think that you would be lucky to get more than 1psi if the setup is stock!

I think the consensus is 10psi is a lot safer. I have problems at around 10psi with Rich and retard so on stock ECU I think going above 9/10psi is pointless unless you use something like a Fuel Adjuster or powerFC. I have yet to determined if my problem is coil packs or just the ECU protecting things.

Mostly when I floor it the psi hits 6 and still does but when the car dropes down a gear or 2 and really gets reving it sorta leaks up to the 8psi and now 10psi, more so around and coming out of corners. I was very suprised to see it hit 10 as well.

I run 0.7 bar (10.3 psi) with the DFA tuned, but it wouldn't run more than 8 psi before the ECU R&R kicked in. That's with zero mechanical upgrades, std exhaust, inlet, timing etc. :rofl:

Hey SK. Interested to read you only got 8psi before R&R.

I am having some trouble with the car hesitating a bit above about 8psi. Especially on cold nights. The car sort of runs a little rough as you rev it out and feels like it isn't going as hard at 10psi compared to say 7psi. Only when you come on boost. If you use part throttle to moderate the boost it feels like it is accelerating harder

I don't think it is the coils, I've now swapped them for others.

Just suprised as a lot of other people are running up to 12psi and not getting this kind of thing...

So I need PFC or DFA??

Thanks

As I previously posted the Stagea ECU is a bit smarter than the average. It seems to be halfway between the R34GTT and R33GTST ECU's, with its protection strategy anyway. Plus ours has a standard exhaust (and everything else at the time), which complicates the tuning.

I have seen R33's with slight R&R at 7 psi, it depends on the mods and the tune. Strange things like smaller plug gaps and slightly advanced ignition timing help. So I always try them before I get into the more serious stuff.

For a manual I would ALWAYS go for the Power FC, far too many compromises with the piggy backs. But the DFA for ~$80 is a great low cost alternative if the budget is tight.

:mad:

    • 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
