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).

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
