Putting 98 RON fuel should allow you to wind the boost up a bit higher before it starts to ping at all (much)..

why were you tuning the car on a mixture of 95/98?

it was tuned at bens and on his dyno got to 232rwkw, but on another it only got 212rwkw, the problem has been fixed now it seems that the stock boost is actually 12 psi so turning it up a bit should see the power go up,

thanks for your help guys and snowy

cheers

R34 N1s are not the same as standards but just with steel wheels. They are very different on the exhaust side with .64 A/R rear housing compared to .48 A/R for the stockies. they also have different size and trim wheels, and a ball bearing centre and a built in seperater in the exhaust housing to seperate the wategate flow. There is no reason with 18-20psi and the right tune that you can't make 330rwkw+ with those turbos. The 34 N1s are very similar to a GT-SS. Some '34 N1s' i've seen also have a .60 A/R comp cover which makes them pretty close to a 2530. They are a pretty good turbo for a street GTR.

the question is: are you sure they are 34 N1s?

yes we are sure, we have looked at them from undeneath and that is what was specified that was on the car. you can here them wind down they are definatley roller bearing.

I would have thought that with R34 N1 turbos you would have no chance of reaching 300rwkw, unless you were running some rediculas boost, say 28psi :D , and this will probably be past their efficience range.

A descent set of cams would probably solve the problem :(

I think you'll find that 34N1's are similar to GT-SS's, and would comfortably make 300rwkw on 20 psi, I doubt it very much they'll reach 330rwkws unless your running cams, big boost and good fuel or do a run in shoot-out :( . Take into consideration each dyno is different, but going by what Ben tells me they're rediculously responsive down low but do suffer a bit up top.

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
