Time for another tuning results thread.

I approached Jim at CRD to tune my car following recent work and I an extremely happy with his efforts

The results shown below are based on a built RB26 with all the fruit, Tomei 260 degree Poncams and HKS GT-SS turbos

I will let the pictures below tell the story

The cars response is very good, its very agile around town and the exhaust note is simply awesome.

I can only say I am very pleased with the results

Good results nick.

Post up the torque curve why dont ya :D

From the boost curve, you're making 21.5-22 psi @ 4400 rpm ? Thats pretty good.

It will be interesting to see what you end up pulling at wsid this week. Hope it bloody well doesnt rain. If it does, I will join you next week and we can race together :D

I take it this is awkw?

Very nice result.

Intersting to see your boost hit 21 and drop back down to 20 - what boost controller are you using? Is it set to 20 and just spikes to 21?

What rpm are you hitting 1bar boost (just want to compare to williamsf1 and tommy)...

Will be interesting to see how you go at the drag strip... are you going to take this on the real (circuit) track? :D

can't wait till i get my car back in a couple of weeks or so. I'm leaving stock cams in for now, see how they cope.

Ferni, yep thats awkw

The car made 320awkw but was brought back down a tad for the final run - my request was reliability and safety rather than absolute peak power

CRD believes that my cat is causing some problems and should be replaced with a better flowing unit, which could see a gain of another 10-15 awkw

I have been itching to take the GTR on a track for a long long time now, so I will fit my oil cooler and get out there!

Boost controller is the HKS EVC 5

Nick

Nice work. Glad Jim sorted it all out for you. Too bad I didnt stick around at Croydon to see the final run but after eating maccas I was feeling like shit (big suprise!).

I have doubts about my own cat after the weekend and will be sourcing one of those phat Catco ones which look like Magic cats from Batmbl i think.

    • 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?
