Bullet32

I have a couple of dyno sheets, I'll take a pic of them and post them up by tomorrow. They only have peak power and AFR's on them though.

35 DET? Its a Series one R33 RB25DET, only about 100,000 - 120,000km old, its been driven hard for all those km's though.

Ive e-mailed GCG and asked for exact specs but as far as I know its a 450hp rated turbo and its peak efficiency is between 18 - 24 psi, so that should be plenty for the power I want (260 - 270 rwkw).

Yeah it was at Autotech. Ed did the tuning not Pete, and he said that he thought that it was a blocked cat but like I said, I checked it and its fine so I think you might be right that it could be the valves... Could a blocked exhaust restrict the power that much? Oh and there seems to be heaps of inlet reversion now even though Ive backed the BOV right off.

At least its not a trailer pony... Built for GO not SHOW!

Thanks Nic, I'll look into that, Do you think I should look into cam gears aswell Ive been told that if I get adjustable cam gears it might help.

Hi all, Im stumped, and so is my mechanic / tuner... I need some good advice please. Here's the story: I have an R32 Gtst which I put an R33 S1 RB25DET into a while ago and I have been building it up for about 12 months to try and get some serious power, I have put all of the goodies on it that I know I will need to make the power but after spending over 4 hours tuning on the dyno we have only managed to get 233rwkw and 550nm from it, its running a consistent 11.7 - 1 AFR and pretty solid boost = 17 - 18psi at the manifold. Im not happy because I know that there is so much more power waiting to be unlocked, it should make around 260 - 270rwkw but it just wont... Im not a mechanic and I dont know how to tune a car either but I am fairly good with a spanner and I know enough to get me by, but my local tuner said to me that he couldnt get anymore power from my car even running 21psi! The modifications include: *Power FC *Splitfire DI ignition coils (NGK iridium plugs, gapped to 0.8mm) *SARD 550cc injectors *Bosch 040 fuel pump *3 inch mandrel dump pipe - full 3 inch mandrel Tannabe exhaust system with 3.5 inch high flow "metal cat" *Large front mount intercooler (300x600x75mm), Turbosmart supersonic BOV *GCG Garret GT30/71R ball bearing turbo *Turbotech manual boost controller I have checked to see if the cat is blocked and it isnt and the O2 sensor seems to be working fine, however I dont know if one or both mufflers are partially blocked in the exhaust. What could possibly be keeping my engine from making peak power? Can anyone help?

Im re-thinking going... I'd like to see what mine makes on a different dyno.

GTR balls? I thought that you said it has an RB20... Thats GTst balls - not GTR. Anywho, welcome and hope to see your beast out and about soon.

That settles it... After Texikhana Im joining SAU NSW and applying for my CAMSLS2's so that I can compete whenever it suits me... I like the idea of doing hillclimb too. Only one problem.... Cash (or lack of it).

So we just bring the lisense application and $50.00 on the day and we're sweet?

Thanks for the PM guys, I'll pay for a lisence on the day... I was worried for a minute there cos Im really looking forward to this event. PS. I understand now how much you guys are putting in to organising this event and its much appreciated.... Thanks guys

Problem solved... We can apply and pay for a lisence on the day... Its still on!!

I hope that someone is organising licence's on the day because I dont have CAMS licence, Im not a NSW Member and Ive already paid $110.00 for the day... I would be very unhappy if I couldnt take part because I dont have a CAMS licence. This might sound ignorant but I have been to the Sutton Driver training centre several times and never been asked for a competition licence before, so why now? How come the information on licences and regulations for the event werent in the original post, why are we only finding out now?

Well, I probably wont be taking part now... Just received the entry form and apparently to take part you need an AASA licence (whatever that is). How do I get one of those?

I might be able to arrange that... However Im still waiting on a certain testimonial froma certain someone...

Stupid question... Im guessing that entrants will require a helmet for this event?

LESHY NOOOOOOO!!!! You will be sorely missed mate, who else will we pay out on for having a Volvo/Nissan??? But seriously, good luck mate and I love the decision to get an R32 (go the 32's!)... All the best buddy! Lots of love and kisses! Mick.

Ive had my car engineered and Ive been around for a few of my mates when they had theirs done too... And I'll say this... If you want your car to be properly engineered and pass rego without the inspectors second guessing and double checking every little thing to try and keep you from passing then there is only one engineer to go see in the ACT - Ray Spence at Canberra Motor Works in Mitchell, he knows engines inside and out, he knows ALL of the rules and regulations and he loves Skylines, he doesnt f#ck around and he does a proper job. I personally would never use AKZ again... For my reasons you should PM me because Im not going to broadcast them for everyone to read.

Cool, Federal's on a GTR.... Niiiiiiiiiiiiice! If you need any info on pressures, optimum temps or anything technical on them, I can help... Im the Federal Tyres guy around here (aswell as Frink).

Not bad... If youre after injectors I can help out... Send me a PM if youre serious and I'll get you a price. Go the R32's

Sorry but I just forked out allot of money for a dyno tune and I have my figure... I dont need another one, I know what it puts down. (I cant afford it anyway).

I just paid in full - Count me in!

Please put me down as confirmed! -Just paid - 10 minutes ago, Im keen as mustard!
