I think my car is down on power compared to others I have heard about with simliar setups.

Current mods;

Nismo fuel pump

555cc Nismo Injectors

HKS GT2835 Pro S turbo (420ps)

Tomei 270 Degree cams

Full 3" exhaust.

Greddy Plenum

HKS front mount

HKS Fcon V pro ECU (Map sensor type)

So far the best power i have managed to produce is 320rwhp on 1.3 bar. To me it seems kind of average, cause i've heard of other people making 380-400 rwhp, on this turbo. The tune in my ecu was done in Japan and its fairly rich around low 11:1 afr but would this be making that much difference? How much HP should i be making? I'm changing over to a Power FC D-Jetro, just so i can get someone to tune it here in australia in hope to gain more, but what power levels should i expect, or am i expecting too much from this turbo?

I recently bought a GTR from Japan with an Impul tuned EPROM in it. The barstards glue the EPROM to the board so you cant read it - however this didn't stop me and I was able to pull the PROM and read the data. I really wasn't that impressed with there tune - very conservative all round, fuel was too rich in top end 11-10.5 and timing was very shy through power. Knock parameters where standard (not that it matters in the topend).

Could be a blocked cat as well or some kind of inlet restriciton. My advice would be to check the cat/restrictions and then either get the ECU re-tuned or PFC.

250rwkw sounds pretty good check the rb25det turbo upgrade dyno thread, i think theres at least one other 2535 turbo. your at about the max of the 2535 turbo as far as i can recall going from the ps rating. i dont see how the powerfc d-jetro will give you more power. it will be easier to tune with the normal powerfc and a z32

Hey ookami, i also have the 2835 and managed 333rwhp on 15 pounds (tiny bit over 1 bar) without PowerFC. Something has to be holding you back...

you made 333hp with a stock ecu? you sure? My car is junk then!! I've got a greddy plenum and bigger cams and everything too!! Is yours the 2835 pro s with the weird Exhaust flange?

How did you manage to get the epoxy resin of the eprom? I also tried to pull one of a board, but my fingers aren't as strong as your.

some people must have weird dyno readings or something. I don't understand how they make more power on less boost. I know i would gain some power with a decent tune, but some people are claiming on stock injectors. how does that work?

I'd ditch the ecu and get yourself a powerfc, or if you really want something that has alot of features (and so you can toss the afm) get a link, haltec, or autronic.

****, you'll get alot more power with a good tune, judging by the mods you've already done.

      Returning after a long time!

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
