I am using the jaycar one with the factory solenoid.

Ive had a play around with it, and it seems to be working better now. In relation to boost, I get full boost at something like 6 grand in 2nd

In relation 4th gear, I think i hit full boost 130/140 km/hr - wasnt watching the tachometer

Had absolutely no idea what i was doing, where i was going, etc.

Hehe .... it's a bit like that the first time out isn't it !

Well done on your first trip anyhow ... next time you won't have as many nerves as you're sitting on the line about to launch, thinking of all the people watching you! :blink:

what turbos u running on your car?

jim @ crd is a great tuner, he knows his gtr's!

Cheers guys

Okay, in answer to your question, kabab, I think its something like 0.8 bar at 4000 rpm in 3rd

Forgot to check 3000 rpm in 3rd, but im guessing it would be around the 0.3 bar mark ?

I'm runnin GARRETT GT2560R's, also known as the GT2860R's. These are Garrett replacements to the Nissan R34 N1 turbos. They are 'apparently' rated at 320hp. There are no flow maps on the garrett website, 'yet'

Jim is a pretty good tuner. The a/f ratio is so damn straight, its almost unbelievable

Big difference in spool times there.

Do you have a built engine kabab?

The gt-ss are rated at 280hp arent they? While these are 320 hp. That would make a fair bit of difference. But hell, I can understand how responsive the SS's must be :(

Hks gtss's are rated @ 320ps just check here .

I dont know about .8 bar at 3000 on a stock engine but i get full boost at 3800 in 5th gear in my stock engine .

They dont have the top end that my old N1's had though .

You can keep your stock afms with the gtss's Kris unless you want to run huge boost ( above 1.2 bar ) .

I gotta say, it's a bit of a waste to use GT-SS's if you're only going to run 1.2 bar. They won't make much more than stock turbos at that boost level.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
