I just wanted to post this dyno sheet to show what sort of difference a GOOD tune can do for car with a PowerFC.

The only difference between the two runs was a minor service, and the PowerFC Tune (done by Ben @ UAS). He did an awesome job as you can see! ;)

Free plug for Unique AutoSports! They did a great job!

Yeah definitely. It's a very noticable difference!

A lot better response now. The turbo that is in there (Apexi unit) spools really quickly now, whereas before it was really sluggish to get going. It's a lot more fun to drive, as I found dont have to concentrate as hard on keeping the revs up in certain corners etc.

But you said it - I'm happy with it "for now"... Give me 6 months and I'll want more. It's the relentless pursuit for more power we all suffer from! :P

Lol not me.. I just want to win an auction on a damn 33.. then my licence back.. May 23 and were rolling! Im on here to pick up a few tips/tricks before i get it.

224.7kw that would be nice and lively in the hills i bet.. what other mods do you have? 2 Way LSD? Coils?

Yeah there isnt that many places to really open the car up in the hills (best left for the track anyway!!)

Are you buying privately, or through an importer?

Other Mods:

Apexi GT Spec FMIC

Apexi Turbo (380hp)

Apexi PowerFC

Apexi Boost Control Solenoid

Apexi N1 Coil-overs

3" Exhaust (Turbo Back)

High flow Cat

Bigger injectors (550cc or 700cc, not sure)

Aftermarket Fuel Pump

Standard Coils (For now...)

etc.. etc.. etc..

thats some nasty AFR's on the initial runs.. how long you been running on that tune for?

did ben do much work with the around town/light load maps?

how much did it set you back to tune? and how long?

I'm not sure of the exact amount, as I got a bunch of other maintenance type stuff done as well.

Approx $450-500 I think. Ben did mention it was a full tune from scratch because there was some silly stuff in the old tune (originally from Japan). Total time on the dyno was about 4.5 hours i think.

I had been running that tune for about 4-5 months..

lol.. yeah just about...

I would wash my car, and within a week, there was black stuff all over the bumper again... it was very annoying!

suprisingly i didnt get THAT bad fuel economy... about 15.5L/100k.. But it should be miles better now!

Yeah as i mentioned above, black crap all over the rear bar was a regular occurance.

Surprisingly i've noticed more black smoke since the afr's have been fixed. Either that, or i've just got more time to look at the guy in the rear view mirror since gaining the 30rwkw :P

Yeah it does add up, but i'd kill to have a 225kw turbo that does 10.5l/100k!! BTW Craved, where do you live? :P

:D

im from out near richmond (NSW) but yeah driving from out there to pennant hills is a pretty ok drive for fuel savings..

let us know what fuel economy you get, am keen to see

Yep, ill let you know.

im from out near richmond (NSW) but yeah driving from out there to pennant hills is a pretty ok drive for fuel savings..

Ahh yeah thats a decent distance! I live right near Pennant Hills actually.

Small world, or over population of skyline owners? :P

Nah that wasnt me, but there are a couple of others in the area.. If it had a black bonnet it was Wilch.. There is also a guy that lives around here that privately imports and sells skylines, so it could have been one of his.

I'm surprised I havent seen you around anywhere though.. do you usually have the skyline around this area?

used to drive it around, but its pretty much been off the road for the last year haha

it was only the wing that made me think of you.. and yeah i know wil pretty well, it was past his house anyway lol

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
