hi guys

we just got the car back from a very good tuner and it isnt making enough power for the goodies on it.

we also took the car to another very good tuner and he had the same problem

the car is making 252 rwkw.

here are the mods

R33N1 ENGINE (6000 K'S OLD)

R34 N1 TURBOS

GREDDY CAM WHEELS

TRUST 4INCH EXAUGHST FROM TURBO BACK

HKS DRAG INTERCOOLER 105MM

APEXI POWER FC

800 CC SARD INJECTORS

AFTERMARKET TURBO INTAKE PIPES

Z32 AIR FLOW METERS

APEXI AIR PODS.

AFTER MARKET INTERCOOLER PIPING

should we be making more power? or am i over stating?

does anyone have any suggestions as both tuners have checked everything and cant find anything wrong with it

thanks guys

Upgrade the turbo's from R34 N1's? Snowman is running N1 and is making more power than that.

Just as another note, one of the Vic board members cars, an R33 GTR is making 260rwkw, with a standard engine, cam gears, hard pipes, 1bar boost, 4" exhaust and pods with standard AFMs.

I would expect more power than that. What boost level are you running? How did they set up the cam timing? What does the ignition plot look like? Standard boost controller?

i would think that combo should be good for 300-350rwkw. i'm making 1 kw more than you with only:

32 engine

stock 32 turbos

hard pipe kit

cam gears

pods

cat back exhaust (front half still standard)

1 bar boost

power FC

we are running 15 psi and it has been to both ben and nizpro

15psi is why you are making 252rwkw's.

To get upto 300kw+ you'll need to increase the boost to 19-20psi.

My car on stock turbo's at 15psi was making 255rwkw's. The N1's are basically the same just a steel wheel which should be able to hold more boost. If you have stated 15psi as a max then the power you have got is what you should expect.

If you want more power wind up the boost.

Cheers.

Wasnt the reason the car was not tuned with more than 15psi the first time because it was expiriencing detonation??????

And that was more than likely due to the choice of fuel that was used i thought?

Bit hard to say its not making the power that it should if you aint putting decent go-go juice into the tank and screwing boost into it.

Its making spot on power for what your running it at essentially.

i would have thought that unless you are living in a remote area there is no reason not to run 98 octane fuel in a modified car.

will give plenty more headroom for your tuner to run more boost without the detonation you've been seeing using the crappy 95 ron.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
