hey guys

my car stands

122rwkw

auto completely stock 16.1

auto

FMIC

10psi

AVCR

166.9rwkw

CES front dump pipe 15.2

Manual conversion

highflow cat

tuned at fist

170.1rwkw ( clutch slippin, was told by fist could of gone more )

back to 8psi 14.3

test and tune after 19th october <<<<<

turbosmart type 3 pb ( currently not plumb back due to autobarn f@#kin me round hang on ........ AGAIN!!!!

power fc install 19th october

Will see if i can put it back to 10psi

reason why it was put back to 8 was, it wasnt makin anymore power at 10

all times recorded were done on street tyres on 40psi

next time i go down after install of power fc will drop pressure of tyres to 25

Just gathering ppls thoughts to, what times would i be lookin at

when i get the power fc installed?

let yas know when i get it in and go down the track .

THanks

I'm guessing you drive an R33 right?

By the time you get your PFC installed and tuned, you should have something around 170-200rwkw depending on how much boost you run and depending on the dyno. I only mention the dyno because your previously quoted figures look a little on the generous side, but if all your figures have been done on the same dyno, then it's all relative so that's ok (BTW, what did FIST tune? You didn't mention that you had another programable ECU or an SAFC for example).

On street tyres, that should be good for anything from mid to high 13's (or even quicker with sticky tyres).

Good luck

what i was sayin was car completely stock ran a 16.1

the next lot of upgrades was

FMIC

10psi

AVCR

166.9rwkw

CES front dump pipe 15.2

then next lot of upgrades

Manual conversion

highflow cat

tuned at fist

170.1rwkw ( clutch slippin, was told by fist could of gone more )

back to 8psi 14.3

first tune was at mercury motorsport , didnt tune my car !

2nd was at apc, which they apperantly tweaked the ecu abit

and did a poor job on my intercooler piping

3rd was at fist, which involved change timing, changed boost, as it was all over the shop , first run on the dyno tune b4 they touched the car was only doin 116rwkw.

once they tuned the standard ECU and changed timing and boost

it did 170.1

didnt mention that i had a programmable ecu because i dont have one !

standard .

And where is WSID, im in QLD i go to Willowbank raceway

thats if WSID stands for it .

Don't think you can tune the Std ECU on an R33 mate...hence my earlier question.

Maybe check with the workshop and find out exactly what they did if you're curious. If the Std ECU was tunable, it kinda negates the need for the PFC then doesn't it? PFC will make a noticable difference in any case.

Good luck at Willowbank :P

yeah i might have to check what they did

cause i remember apc sayin that they could tweak the standard ecu abit

could of been something else though, who knows

whateva they did, they could of done a betta job.

let yas know what happens

thanks for the replies

  • 4 weeks later...

guys back again just got my install and tune of power fc

car is currently on 11 psi near enough with 187.6rwkw

power curve is real nice havent been able to give it a good go around

due to being wet

but next test and tune i'll be out there to see what time i can rack up

hopefully gettin into the 13's

let yas know how it goes

  • 1 month later...

Due to AFR's being real rich at 10.5, and timing a bit out from the tune at FIST

i have had my car tuned again at chiptorque ,

and needing a new o2 senser and spark plugs

got a result of 201.7rwkw on 12psi

After the tune of fist i did manage to go down the quarter and did a 14.089 at 101.69mph,

so will be good to see what happens now.

Cheers

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
