Hey guys, Im running a completely stock R34 GTT, with the exception of a K & N pod filter..

i was just wondering, would i get any more power, by simply installing a boost controller? and whats the maxium all the stock stuff can take?

if u have any other ideas that would increase my power and are simple mods, please let me know

cheers.

The stock turbo does tend to break around 12psi but some have run higher and not had any/many problems. It all depends on the amount of reliability you want.

The first thing would be to remove your restriction i.e Exhaust. If you're going to put a boost controller on, you may be able to up the boost a little.

I have 3" split dump exhaust system, cold air box with pod filter but I now have high-flowed my turbo. I'm running 12psi without a problem but I'm not pushing it much in this heat and my front mount cooler should be here next week.

Most people who have increased the boost in their car have at least exhaust done.

Oh ok thanks guys, with th exception of puttin a 3' exhaust, is there any other things that would increase the power, or should i simply go with the new exhaust then FMIC, then boost controller?

thanks

does it really matter how cold the air going into turbo is, doesnt it all end up the same temp after going through the turbo?\

indeed it can make a big difference with a good cold air induction setup/pod vs just a pod sucking hot air

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
