Hi guys,

I dunno how it happened but my car somehow made 230+rwkw at just 13 psi stock boost for hks2530.

Even the tuner was surprised. He now believes that with somemore tuning and upping the boost to 1.2 bars (around 17.5psi), we can make at least 250rwkw.

This was done on a dyno dynamics dyno!!!

I will post up pictures when I up the boost and fine tune the car.

Mods are HKS2530

GTR fuel pump

Power FC

3' turbo back with HKS split dump and race-cat

550cc Nismo injectors that somehow flow 565cc when flow-tested

Z32 afm

Hybrid FMIC

Splitfire di ignition coils

irridium sparks

I am now too scared to drive the car as even at stock boost, the car keeps burning the road when i dun want it to!

The tuner is still insisting on upping the boost to 1.2 bars though...what should I do. Will the car become even more undrivable then???

Dan

If you can't control the power, either

a) Don't turn up the boost more!!!

B) Invest in a decent tyre / suspension setup to reduce traction loss

c) Drive by the throttle

With that kind of power though, I don't think you'll ever NOT get it to spin. Ahhh, how I wish I had your problems !!!! ;)

Dan

well done. I had 220rwkw with a similar setup except stock injectors, but the bottom end was fully rebuilt with forgies and GTR rods/ ACL race bearings so was good for running that consistently on the track.

I would recommend staying with what is comfortable, plus if the bottom end is stock it becomes more of a time bomb the longer you punish it, and will no doubt go bang at a moment most inconvenient. Also your clutch will be susceptible to burning out with hard accel through 3rd if you cane too hard. You decide what you want, not the tuner.

For the suspension I recommend a set of pineapples (120 plus fitting) which will allow greater traction. Also the stock suspension is crap so maybe some HD systems from UAS (1400ish) but order the softer springs (120 per pair or get them specced with the softer springs) for nicer road work if you don't track. Search for spring weights by Sydneykid who is our suspension Guru for examples. With this I was just chirping through second on the irregularities on the road on Dunlop 9000SP road tyres.

Hope that helps.

More boost!

But thats my answer to everything.

I'd get used to what you have then go for more :rofl: 2530 + rb25 = response. You'll have to start rolling on the throttle rather than stomping on it you lucky punk.

I'm running 240rwkw at 16psi at the moment and although my brand new tires managed to hold second without losing traction for 2 weeks, they're now starting to spin whenever boost comes on. 3rd gear can hold traction, but second no longer.

Once you start losing traction it just gets worse because the more traction you lose, the faster you lose tread and then you lose more traction blah blah. Just like a turbo boosting it creates a chain effect that gets worse and worse.

Good tires for the win!

Far too often I read a list of Skyline mods and I can't find anything that would improve the handling or brakes. Spend a small fortune on the engine and then can't use it. They don't have too much power, they have TOO LITTLE HANDLING.

Well Dan, it's time to balance up the equation, pop over to the suspension section for details.:cheers:

PS, aftermarket injectors always flow a little more than their rating (it's only 2.7% after all), nothing unusual there.

Thanks a lot guys for all yur answers....

I think I will up the boost to 1.2 bars then see how it goes. If I don't like it, I can simply turn the boost controller off. At least my PFC will be tuned to handle 1.2 bars when i turn the EBC back on.

Right?

The car is virtually permanently on boost. Even when it is not moving, u can sometimes hear the ball bearings still going for a while after the engine is off. Boost comes on very very hard suddenly and pins you in your seat with wheelspin just under 3000rpm.

So yes, I personally found that boost came on earlier and very much harder than the stock turbo.

i had to release my accelerator pedal to gain traction....i keep losing traction each time i overstep the acceleratiors. I am now practicing to be very friendly with the pedal.

Oh yes, I am surprise....my clutch is not slipping....how come? Its only a heavy duty 860kg organic!!!

I managed to drag the car up till 90km/h in 1st gear. That took me 4 seconds.

u must mean second, as first runs out way before 90 :)

and benl1981: i have a friend with same car as me apart from is have stock turbo and he has 2530, the 2530 is no laggier than stock, i would not say less laggy though, either way very very close.

the difference is when the 2530 comes on boost(with higher boost levels obviously contributing) it hits hard!!

in second/third gear in the 2530 equipped car u really gotta hang onto it with stock suspension so dan i know what u mean, and you really should change your springs/shocks and adjust camber.

Yo Aaron,

Im running a blitz dsbc type R. But the car is currently running on stock boost (apparently its 13 psi on my HKS2530) :D I see you are in SA as well!!! Me and a few other guys around our age of 20-24 meet up now and then. You should come join us mate!!!

just today, Sam, Duc and myself went for a drive in my car... and it reved cleanly to 9000rpm and wheelspins all the way in 1st and abit in 2nd....pity i forgot to get a picture of 3 R33s together in a row! You must come join us some time buddy. My hp is 0403671496

Dan

What boost controller are you running?

If you had say an AVC-R you could run just enough boost in each gear for the wheels not to spin/just spin.

or just don't plant it all the time :(

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
