Hi i know this has probably been covered before but couldnt find it, but i have an r33 S2 with 12psi, fmic, power-fc and dump pipe and cat-back, i was wondering how much power ppl reckon im going to have after my tune at boostworx?

i have previously with 7psi and just catback and fmic before my engine decided to start retarding due to a mechanic advanced my timing belt by like 3teeth on exhaust and 2 on intake luckily the cams were up when pistons were up and engine didnt demolish itself well anyway i was making 161rwkw so what do ppl reckon i will get now?

thanks

yep, 180rwkw(ish) - depending on your fuel pump.

Make sure you run an injector cleaner through pre-tune too, to make sure they are not clogged up.

For the relatively cheap price I would be chucking a Walbro 255/Bosch 040 fuel pump in pre-tune too. You will definitely get more/safer power too.

let us know what you get once you get it tuned. think i've basically got the same mods just waiting for a boost controller and den i'll be jumping on the dyno to tune my power fc, can't wait! power output everyone is saying you'll get sounds good to me :banana:

183.2ish..... something around the 180mark anyway

Im pretty sure he will see more then 20rwkw increase with the boost gone up form 7 --> 12psi, added dump pipe and power fc...

Just that AFM might be a restriction, other then that no reasn as to why he wouldnt crack 200.

CORRECT........nothing worse than an unexpected lean surge at high rpm. Water temp gauge doesn't always tell you what's going on in the cylinders.

I will keep all you guys posted at what i make,

not too sure bout pushing the stock turbo to 14psi though? I will put some cleaner through it all and most probably some new oil too thanks for the idea.

power fc at the moment is telling me my injectors are maxing out. will find out am hoping for about 200ish it feels good at the moment to what it was.

I am looking at putting a tomei fuel pump in though possibly then later stage a hks 2535 or 2540 still to decide

Probably top out your stock AFM at around ~190rwkw's.

LOL - im making 250RWKW with the stock AFM, so I doubt 190 will stop him

Then you should replace the fuel pump before you get a tune, a rising rate fuel regulator would also be a good idea for a little extra insurance and wony cost much

yeah dont be scared go 14psi

Steve are you selling turbos on the side now? LOL

14psi and a stock turbo is asking for a rebuild (it could be in 2 years, or it could be next week). There are examples on this forum of 10-12psi and a few track laps killing standard turbos.

yeah good call, i would hate to think someone fried a turbo due to not winding up the boost because THEY think it might be safe for THEIR turbo

mate i hope that with all those mods and 12psi you will be making more then 180rwkw....as i only have a full exhaust, fmic and coilpacks and i am making 180rwkw on 7psi....so with a 5 psi increase i hope to make my motor cross the 200rwkw mark....so hope your is around the 210-220rwkw....good luck with it anyway mate...and u have a shitload more mods then me....good luck

    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 馃お
    • I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.  
    • Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.     
    • @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!  
    • We import a lot of cars from Japan. I'd say that approximately 20% of our traffic is imported JDM cars (mainly consumer cars like the Mazda Demio, Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, Suzuki Swift, etc.). We also import a lot from the UK, but this has decreased after Brexit. Apart from the consumer vehicles, two of the larger, well-known dealerships frequently import iconic '80s/'90s JDM cars. I haven't heard of anyone importing from Australia, and they are not advertised (unlike Japanese ones), despite a lot of Maltese migrating to Australia in the '50s and '60s.
