Hi,

Im wanting to extract more power out of my GTR 32 by winding the boost up to 1.4bar.

I have heard a lot of different stories about what types of fuel to use at this boost level as pulp cant handle it?? I am currently running 1.2bar on pulp but i have heard stories of tuners not running above 1.1bar on pulp?

I have had a lot of people tell me to tune it with a touline mix of 5-10% per tank??

Also if i get it tuned at this level with touline, can i still run my low boost setting on pulp??

Is anyone running high bost on pulp?? or a mix of some kind?

cheers,

Francisco

I hope your using a competant tuner

You havent provided any info on your engine setup so its hard to comment further, however saying that some tuners wont run more than 1.1 bar on pulp is garbage.

Is your car a street car? then have it tuned for regular readily available 98 ron pump fuel.

also, In don't know how long your stock GTR turbos will last at 1.4 bar. only one way to know for sure though...just pray you don't get the fabled 'ceramic sucked back into engine' syndrome.

yeah sorry, i have group A turbos and forggies etc.... and all the support gear to handle the boost.

Wanted to get some feedback from other peoples setups?? I have just heard differing stories from some people and im not sure what certain people "recommend" is true?

yeah i have it advertised......but enjoying it way to much!! if someone offers me the money i would have to part with it. I really need to buy a house(as everyone selling an 89 model says but i really do). As anyone who has had a GTR engine built knows the pain in $$ and time, having fun enjoying it now.

Back to the topic though??

I'm running 1.4 bar on 98RON fine, has never pinged - just comes down to the ability of your tuner & as I found, your fuel system. I have a similar setup to yours & for the record I have not noticed any difference between Ultimate or Optimax, mine makes within 1hp at the wheels on either. I personally would not touch toluene, that stuff will kill you. With my build, anything over 1.4bar required a higher octane fuel.

My 0.02c is you should use a fuel that is commonly available as your base line. That should be 98 RON for most people on this board. There is no point having your car tuned for some sort of exotic fuel or using an octane booster only to be stuck in the middle of nowhere without access to the fuel or additive with the car pinging its arse off (of course, you could go in a mess with the tables).

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
