Hey guys, im getting my car tuned with a powerfc very soon, and im aiming for a safe 280-300awkw with my n1 turbos, the thing is - im not certain they are n1 turbos, im pretty sure they are though. When the motor was out, i couldnt see any serial no's, all i did see was garrett m24, ar60, and a plate on the front side of the turbos saying N1. I was told by my mechanic they are definitely ball bearing....

Will the tuners know if they can get that much power out of the turbos straight away (just incase they arent the turbos i was told they are etc...)

I just want to make sure they dont try and push too much power out of the turbos if they are not capable of running the boost etc....im sure tuners know what the limits of the turbos are etc..??? Should i worry too much about this....or leave it to the tuners to get it right?

mods:

r33 rb26dett (stock internals)

stock intercooler

custom 3" exhaust, and xforce dump pipes

bosch 044 fuel pump (as advised by you sau'ers!)

N1 r34 turbos (i think)

550cc nismo injectors

Apexi Powerfc and Hand controller for r33 gtr

stock boost controller and everything else...

ARC panel induction kit

thats all i can think of, compression is ~165 accross all cyl's....

What you guys think, 300awkw safe tune not too far off maybe...

Thanks.

if the turbos say AR60 on the front and have 0.64 on the rear then they are the larger N1 turbos. should be fine for 300rwkw, maybe more. just depends how much boost you are going to run?

    • Not alot of room in the front or mid pipe to play with Helmholtz chambers, plus they are pretty hit and miss getting the length and volume right, and time is money when it comes to trial and error testing at a exhaust shop, it isn't like test fitting mufflers or resonators From previous experience with exhausts and trying to tone down the volume and eliminate some drone, a resonator in the mid pipe typically make it much better,  and even possibly stop Jackie complaining about it, me, I really don't notice it that much, but, I am pretty deaf 馃ぃ
    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30掳bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
