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

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
