232hp Is This Right For My Mods In Auto R32

[Miller the hoon]

I dont know you might get 5 or 10 hp more maby and again it looks like a good safe tune

the next stage is ecu and igectors + pump so there is only so much hp out of some mods

go the shift kit and auto oil cooler and you might get a couple more hp

but with no 1/4 mile tests it is hard to say

Rev210 got into the 13s with not much more hp

Rev210's was an R33.. Different kettle of fish.

I believe Rev210 also had a few little aero mods, you know those little plastic bits that box off the stock intercooler? Rip those suckers out to stop it acting like a plastic bag in the wind.

was that with a auto Miller?

my car has injector and fuel pump if thats wat your saying, and being auto makes after market ecu a bit hard, i would say the rom tune owuld be just as good anyway which is what i ahve got

What do you mean cubes? wat plastic i am a bit lost.

No manual but is it hp and lack of it you are worried about not wat gear box it has

Emanage with inginion harnes for computer and the plastic behind your intercooler wheel arch thing rhs behind cooler pull that off

mine is auto so this thread intreast me

ohok umm maybe its different for r32 our cooler are on the passenger side and the old intercoolre is all gone.

Yeah i figure most people don't both with autos but i brought my car cause its in such good condition and though i'd give it a go at modding

I had to rotate the turbo housing cause BHDAVE had a himount manfold or something. Could the seal be leaking since i have done this and cause any problems. I doubt it cause air fuel ratios were good hyperdrive said and seems to hold boost fairly well. Also had a small crack in cooler piping but i patched it up with silcon hosing and put like 4 hose clamps on it (bit of over kill) but i don't htink its leaking

took it for a drive just then it umm hard to expaain think its the limiter and it helps it change gear if you just take your foot of th accelerator a bit otherwise it take a bit longer to change gear

Also when i started car up it was a very very laggy/slugish for about 40second maybe it had a bit of water from when i cleaned the car though will see if it happens tomorow morning before walk

stupid cars

Take it back to the tuner.. Did he take it for a road test?

[AntonRx7]

i dono they defently didn't use much fuel as i filled it up before tune and the needle was still on full when i picked the car up. Maybe ill go speak to them thursday when i have a day off see wat they think about it. They don't seem to think it is capable of more HP due to turbo and gearbox thats wat they said when i picked it up

[BHDave]

Short of the box being absolutely rooted, i can't see how that would be the problem, maybe the torque converter is slipping excessively? Is it worth seeing a gearbox specialist to rule out gearbox issues?

And the gcg highflows are capable of 250rwkw on rb25's so i don't see why 200+ isn't possible on an rb20 (and that's being conservative). The turbo made 199 on my rb25 at 14psi before i swapped it, that was only a couple of months before you got it. That was with 10:1 mixtures and no tune.

[Miller the hoon]

Who is good in perth with skyline gearboxs

i need a shift kit aswell but that needs to come from sa

there are a lot of autos being modded you think some one might pick it up and run with it

pfc as well

and your gear boxs is rooted i think i have a mate with a bombed supra 3lt and that happened had to get gear box rebuilt but it goes faster now

james

[rd-runr]

If it learns has it gone to far past the gear change learning thing

ecu reset will that help i wonder

it is faster when it does not pop isint it?

james

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Try resetting the ecu. I found that this helped when I had shit shifts.

[Skyline-man]

Hey cubes...

[Pal]

how much did it cost u to get a rom tune, i had hyperdrive tune my r33 rb 25 and got 215rwhp, didnt tell me they could do the rom

does anyone know how to extract power from a auto without to much drama's , seems as if everyone that buys one has trouble with this

[AntonRx7]

you can't get a rom on rb25's i don't think.

How would i know if the gearbox is slipping would a shiftkit help solves this a bit?

so you don't think there could be a leak on the turbo or anything Dave?

i wouldn't say so but just want to rule that out as i did have to twist it and i have got silcon patching up one of the intercooler pipes.

There is a torque convert place near Hyperdrive i may go past there today as well see what they recon

[Zman]

hey, hows the fuel economy compared to stock?

[BHDave]

I think it's a long shot that rotating the housings has caused a problem, i've done it numerous times myself on that turbo, aswell as my new turbo with no problems.

I'm only speculating that it is the box, it could be alot of things. You could have a cam out a tooth or slipped cam gear, could be a tired engine. The problem is that i'm in sydney and you're in perth and i'm trying to dagnose why the same turbo on the same type of engine is behaving in a completely different way to what it did on mine.

[Miller the hoon]

No troubles at all i have in an r33 rb2.5 250rwhp @ 10 psi

Auto

mods

full exhaust

pod

fmic

ebc

you just need shift kit ( insteed of clutch manual eqiv)

my next stage

emanage with ignision harnes

fuel pump and reg and ingectors

cam gear maybe

good wheels and tyers with alot of side wall flex

good 4 a low 13 id hope

Its probably making more power than you realise... If its spinning up a little towards the end of first with not near bald tyres then I would say it is making more power. Unless the diff is buggered.

[Rolls]

Standard ECU is restricting u a bit, and u should probly get sum bigger injectors. 232rwhp is heaps low thats like 150rwkw like a standard engine makes. u sure its not 232kw at the rear?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Stock rb20dets dont make anywhere near 150 its more like 100-115

[Cubes]

Yer mine made 115rwkw dead stock.

150rwkw with exhaust and 12.5psi.

164rwkw with exhaust, fmic, 15psi.
