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???

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 :(

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
