Howdy guys an girls

First post here so hello to everyone :D

Got a small question about my gtst and I am wondering if anyone could help me.

I have a r33 with a small amunt of work daone to it including

10.5 psi

SAFC2

3" xforce exhaust with split pulse dump pipe

standard intercooler

auto box

The problem is that the car has stopped producing power at 215rwhp. even if boost is turned up, it wont make anymore power? I have been told that I should be up around 240rwhp. it had this power before the safc was tuned up by the great guys at Hyperdrive and the dump pipe installed. Any ideas would be greatly apreciated

240rwhp is approx 178rwkw so its making good power. how much power did u expect? aftermarket ecu is required to go futher. you could try dropping the exhaust on a dyno run to see if the power goes, could be exhaust restriciton but i dont think youll make much without aftermarket ecu

ya std intercooler would be much of a restriction if your turning up the boost to make more power? People generally always go bigger fmic as a basic upgrade..improve cooling and removes restrictions in the piping to and from tb.

a/m ecu like powerfc!

thanks guys for the help

as stated i am only making 215rwhp

as for the aftermarket ecu, i have been told that you cannot put a power fc on a auto, not sure if anything else can go on.

was thinking it was the intercooler but wanted second opinion

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
