Had my PFC tuned yesterday by CRD in Sydney and am very happy with the job they did and the end results. made 194RWKW.

My current mods are,

Pod filter

Full 3 inch exhaust and hi flow cat

boost set to about 13psi

Hybrid FMIC

Ex cam gear

PFC

Now, what to do to break 200 mark???

Use photoshop :(

Seriously dude i wouldn't worry about the figure, 6rwkw won't make that much difference. If your happy with how the car drives/pulls then be happy, don't worry about numbers.

If you want more power, time for a new turbo, something like a HKS 2535.

do u have a graph with AFR's?

what are they like?

are you planning on running 13psi all the time?

I was not given the AFR chart, I should call them, do u think they will have them saved in a database?

I may drop the boost back to 11-12psi just to be safe.

I also had compression test done all cylinders were 165-170psi. not too bad at all.

Yeah, most tuners save it and can simply recall it in a matter of seconds

I'd be dropping the boost back a couple psi :(

good figure, how does it drive on the street? thats all that matters really

the 194rwkw powerfc will drive heaps better than the 201rwkw safc tune

looks like boost tapers off a little, what dump / front pipe combo do you have? all in all looks good.

are you happy with how it runs? now its time to see how the fuel economy is :(

CRD pointed out the boost drop off and believe the wastegate spring may be worn and leaking pressure a bit. Not too concerned about this atm.

I just have the 3 inch dump pipe from flyn, not the split dump with seperate exhaust for the wastegate.

Drives very well, in second gear giving it a bootfull from just putting along it will break traction anywhere from 60 to 80kph easily now, although off boost there is no difference (that i can notice). To be honest i was expecting a bit of a power gain while just under normal acceleration.

Anyone know if you should get power gains under light load?

I will see how economy goes in a few weeks, at the moment i am enjoying the acceleration too much.

Already have, i am getting bad spiking from my boost controller causing massive amounts of knock. The spiking did not show up on the dyno cause they start the acceleration before the turbo has spooled up giving the bleed valve more time to adjust to the pressure changes.

The spiking is only happeneing when i put my foot down when the turbo is spooled up, so anywhere above 3000rpm.

I have dropped it back to 10 for now. sure can notice the drop in power. Knock is good now, cant make it go over 25, before i had a spike of 127 on the knock scale. Very bad i think.

I agree..

Post up the AFR graph when you get it, im interested to see how they are :P

And with the boost, i would not expect the stock turbo to hold 13psi all the way to the redline, just as the graph shows.

Also with the lack of extra acceleration off boost, they probably did a full throttle tune, with not much work on the rest of the map, were u there when they tuned it?

The problem with having it tuned for say 13-14psi is that if you drop it back to 11-12psi chances are the tune is not going to be optimal as the tune isn't suited to that boost level.

If the tuner has done his job properly that shouldn't be the case. Boost is irrelevant, he is tuning to airflow as the primary load source, with rpm as the secondaary reference. Turn the boost down and the airflow decreases at the same rpm, which should be reflected in the mapping (ie; the load points used). If the tuner has mapped the load points correctly then no problems, power is maximised.

:P cheers :(

I figured this is how it would work SK. Cheers for the clarification.

I am getting the AFR chart today, will post up then.

were u there when they tuned it?

Is this just the stock turbo simply running out of puff?

Does anyone else have a similar drop in pressure at high rpm with stock turbo?

The car was on the dyno from 5pm till just after 9, so 4 hours. I was there for about 4 runs on the dyno from about 7.30.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
