My friend who bought my r33 gts-t took the car in for a tune yesterday @ ICE performance (had S-AFC 2, but I never got it tuned due to loss of licence) and got 185rwkw on stock boost!, they jacked the boost upto 0.75bar and got 205rwkw. AFR's seems good sitting on 12 or there abouts. Nigel thinks the stock turbo has been modified/hiflowed because the thing is pulling awesome power for what should be a 'stock turbo'. He recommended to get the turbo checked out to see what has been done it. A very pleasant surprise! I'll get my friend to post up the dyno graph. Current mods on the car are FMIC, 3" exhaust with hiflow cat (still stock dump), pod with CAI and a EVC 4. I think it's excellent power for the what the current mods are.

hang on that sounds a little odd. you said stock dump. if it was a modified turbo or what not then wouldn't it just choke more on the stock dump and make the graph a bit wonky in the top end when on full song. more air flow and the stocker dump sounds to me like it would choke more (in theory i guess?)

Nigel is pretty good if he can be bothered spending the time to do it properly.

When I had mine tuned, he stopped at a certain point, but I still wasn't happy with my A/F ratios. I asked him to keep going until it was flat.

but yes it does read high.

Before my tune, I saw about 168rwkw, and 200 after.

i think 160 and 190rwkw are more realistic in my case.

No it wasn't done in shootout mode unfortunately, it would've been great if my friend (pmgrz2) got a shootout mode. The power curve after 4.5k rpm shoots straight up. Nigel reckons things could get interesting if a powerfc + injectors was added into the equation.. and not to mention 1-1.1 bar of boost :cheers: (possible 230-240rwkw) Also the AFM is ****ed atm too so i'll get my friend to pop in a Z32 AFM while he's at it; nigel had to adjust the tune abit because of the stuffed AFM. But we'll wait and see when we get the turbo inspected when my mate finally has cash again. Damn now i really regret selling the car. :(

Paulr33: Yes still stock dump; and while my friend questioned about getting it changed nigel said it's probably not worth the money you spend with the gains you'll get. The top end is choking a little with it, as you can see the power curve drop off (when pmgrz2 posts the dyno); even when nigel leaned it out a little, so he then richened the top end abit again to make it safer. The AFR generally sits around 12. The midrange though is pretty good from my pov.

Also what's your opinions on the exhaust cam gear; I'm a firm believer of them as i've seen alot of awesome results with them on s1 gts-t's. the midrange gain is pretty good; even upto 20rwkw i've seen in some cases (in the midrange, not the end power figure). I reckon the car would drive alot happier on the street, but most tuners that my friend has taken the car too has recommended against due to not gaining much.

I'd also like to thank ICE performance on behalf of my friend for great service and tune. Absolutely top stuff and they'll definately be getting more business from my friend. Just out of curiosity, does ICE have a 4wd dyno?

yeah its a 4wd dyno. did he recommend change to a bigger dump pipe or split one?

i was disappointed at my tune and they didnt have much to say and sorta just said yeah its ok

oh well. ive got some crap to sort out (clutch + 3" split dump) and then im gonna try some of my own stuff and see what power i can get.

Awesome, I've just purchased a MY03 WRX so they'll be able to work on the car. ;)

My friend only enquired about a larger dump if i recall correctly, but from point of view i'd like to extract as much out of the current turbo as possible, so I'd put on a split dump (if i was my friend) and some exhaust cam gears for some more midrange oomph.

they told me cam gears do jack all and that dump change wont make much of a difference on the boost im running (0.80bar). im getting my split dump fitted on monday we'll find out hey. they said my power is down cos the boost im running

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
