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.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • 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.
