finalised the tune of the power fc on the shitfighter today decided to go with a mild map that came out at 171.5KW at the rears at 4630 RPM and pretty much maintains that level till 6200 RPM then starts to drop off from there.

i dont have a scanner so i cant show the curve but will try to organise it soon.

mods are as follows.

power fc, split dump pipe, hi-flow cat, centre resonator removed and custom rear muffler, free breathing panel filter, turbosmart E-BOOST2 set at 11.5 PSI,C's brand short shifter kit, and pivot speed meter x.

havent really decided what else to do yet power wise, but see what happens down the track.

as it is my daily driver and also the shopping trolley for the girlfriend i need to keep it reasonably cruisy to drive, i have my APRILIA ifn i wanna go stupid but is nice to have a car there to have some fun in too.

cheers oxford

wow, so are you suggesting that I could get around 200awkw for less than $1000 from here?

I do want to keep it safe so the engine still lasts a long time so dont want to push the stock internals too far to the limits.

Still, this would be a great upgrade for sometime in the future (maybe this time next year).

Gotta love the upgrade potential of turbo cars. :D

One thing I would assume with the above list is that because there is talk of increasing fuel pressure and making more power, there would also be a negative impact on fuel economy as a result. Something I'll need to weigh up if the opportunity to do these mods ever arises :)

With great power comes .....rising fuel bills

Didnt think you'll make more power by burning thin air alone did ya!! :laugh:

awesome results daniel, glad to see that you have the power fc all sorted out :laugh:

Not really no :)

Was just thinking aloud. I think with every mod planned there needs to be a reality check as well. It all depends where you want to go with the car...

I've reached my performance target so anything I do now will be about making it more comfortable. :laugh:

On the topic of fuel economy it actually still seems to be sitting around 12.5L/100km (city driving) which is funny because my turbo silvia I had before (same speed, less kw, 500kg less) was doing 12L/100. Amazing how much more economical the newer RB25 NEO is - with a good tune of course. :(

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
