hi guy,

i currently own a 94 R33 gtst. and am (was) aiming for around 250rwkw. i currently have 225rwkw@ 15psi using a claimed 450hp T04 with PFC, 550cc Z32 ect ect... engine is unopened.

now the problem i have is that if i try to run more boost the knock levels start to increase... af/r are perfect 11.9 to 12.1 but is not making much more power on higher boost setting...

i still believe the turbo can reach my goals.... but am now starting to wonder what else could be holding me back???? intercooler, exhuast, manifolds ????????

what do you guys think???

If it knocks due to pre-detination, could it be that the air in the chambers is too hot?

Do you have ajustable cam gears, and have you adjusted the timing when the PFC was done? I recken you might be able to squeeze a bit more out with cam-gear adjustment or something along those lines.

I would say a quick set of tomie cams and forget the cam gears...

Thats what i am doing.... Found cam gears are hard to get right and found limited gains/loses....

wat power gains did you get from your cams??? where you able to run more boost??

I think you are pushing too much power with standard internals

240rwkw-250rwkw max with standard internals

plenium and do you hav a heat sheild and cai

mabe thremo fans

try 100ron and new tune as well

do you want power and or drivability

do you have a fuel pump and reg

Remember running thermo fans can be a pain...

Yes it creases less drag on the engine.... But when the fans kick in it puts extra strain on the alternator... So its it really worth it???

I did have a thermo fan on the hr31 only due to the lack of room after i did an engine exchange...

But found the temp to vary heaps and on a really hot day with the a/c on the thermo fan could not cope...

It was on almost all the time....

Id be checking out your intake temp and buying a set of cams.... 256 tomie's will do the job... Also a cai will help if you have a pod... Remember the colder the air goes in the colder it comes out....

my aim is 250 so hoping internal will hold

plenium is standard and standard clutch fan, i have all standard heat shelds over the turbo and a good cold air intake system, i also have all suporting mods including pump and reg

and james i want both power and drivability dont we all!!!

thanks for the reply

Would a lightend flywheel do anything to power out put and clutch

any sliping

and last i can think of without doing internals is homing and porting your exhaust manifold or go after market 1

james

not sure if if a lightend flywheel does anything for power??? clutch isnt slipping

ill try to find someone to test my cooler, hoping that will be the problem.

if not ill might have to look into porting, manifolds and or cams

cheers

stock internals should be fine upto around 280rwkw, he certainlty wont be at any restriction of the plenum or intake at 225rwkw thats for sure. you can check to see if your loosing pressure by recording boost at the turbo outlet and just before the plenum to see if your dropping pressure. boost doesn't make power, airflow does. upping boost will only amplify your problem, it will add more heat. more heat = bad. drop the exhaust on a dyno run and see how much you make. if you make lots more (which im guessing you will) then you need to look into a 3.5" exhaust and a split dump system and big mouth cat as well will most likely help

if i can recall i have around 1.5 to 2 psi pres drop. will try the things you have mentions next week....

paulr33 if it is the exhaust how much are we talking about

i thorght 3'' with hiflow cat was good to 300rwkws

and skyman wat did your tuner say wat would he recomend

and wat ebc is it on the pfc and are they a good bc

turners not sure but thinks the turbo may be out of flow?

not using electronic one just a cheep daul stage one which has been holding nice steady boost for 3 years now....

    • To be determined, Luke, to be determined. 😁 Definitely the car
    • It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair
    • The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol
    • If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.
    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
