Just had my R33 dynod today...

[gjb977]

Running 12lb boost, LT12 computer - just over 303hp at the wheels !! I am very happy with that.

It is a GTS-t. My mechanic installed an air temp sensor today and change the adjustable cam gear. Went from 264.3rwhp to 303.1 rwhp with just those changes.

It is idling a bit high though. Do the new microtechs cause the car to idle higher than the stock computer? I am idling at about 1000->1200rpm !! I am going to speak to bloke tomorrow.

[Guest RedLineGTR]

pretty sure you can change the idle.

[ix9]

Yeh, the screw at the back of the plenum ?

[Al]

should be able to change the idle via the LT12. The mechanical changes probably effected the idle settings, no major issue to adjust back

[Nameless EJ6]

Holy crappp. Very nice power.

[JimX]

What turbo have you got on there? Even 264rwhp from only 12psi is a very good figure.

[franks]

r33's respond really well to mods. well done. what other mods are you running? turbo? i/c? exhaust? are your injectors running out?

[gjb977]

I am currently running a 500hp Garret Ball raced Turbo. (but at only 12lb boost)

The only other mods I have are...

Large Front Mount intercooler

LT12 Microtech

Variable cam gear

descent exhaust (but nothing spectacular)

custom dump pipe

Iridium sparks

carbon clean (everyone who gets a carbon clean gains about 5rwkw)

good tune !

[JimX]

Hmm, that turbo's just a tad bigger than mine. The biggest difference between your car and mine is the ECU and the cam gear. I think the cam gear has to be the next mod for mine because I can't afford a new ECU

[gjb977]

The cam gear and an increase from 10 to 12 lb boost gave me an extra 40horses !

[franks]

carbon clean? where can you get one of these guys done!?

yeah, boost is what its ALL about....and cam gears too..hrm! i think im doing okay for the mods i have then.

186rwkw

powerfc

apexi avcr @ 1bar

full exhaust

front mount

stocky turbo...

next mods will be fuel pump, clutch & turbo of some description!

[gjb977]

I place in Toowoomba has a carbon clean.

My mates '86 Brock Commodore got 5rwkw. Another guy's skyline got 6rwkw. I don't know what I got as mine was done when I got the new turbo/sparks etc.

186rwkw if pretty damn good for those mods. Youy must have a good tuner as well.

[benm]

Nice results gjb977 !!

Tell me more about this Carbon Clean..

Whats it do?

Where does it go?

How much does it cost?

What does an Ex Cam Gear cost to be installed and tuned (roughly) ? They are quite a cheap mod it seems:

Apexi: $142

HKS: $153

OS Giken: $293

Tomei: $199

Trust: $171

I love these cheap mods with slight power increases, the type of mods that many people skip and jump straight in for the big turbo's etc. (JimX maybe we could order 2 cam gears and have em installed/tuned at the same time/place)

I'm currently at 272 rwhp and confident that with some small mods ($$) I can crack 280 rwhp from my basic setup.

Hey Frankie not bad power for the mods you have

[gjb977]

I'll get the info re the carbon clean from my mechanic (more like an engineers workshop) and post the info tomorrow. All I know is the solution so that expensive he keeps it in a safe.

He's done so many qick cars it's not funny. (including a 9.6sec Cortina) (mainly does commodores though)

he made the adj cam gear out of my stock gear. (only had one done) - this is alot cheaper than buying 'name' brand ones.

[Parag0n]

nice stats there

Interesting... do you know the costs involved to get this done?

The HKS has come down in price by 25% in the last 3mths which I have had my eye on and is looking pretty nice at this stage (both price wise and physically looking).

[franks]

wow. he must have an idea. gotta be careful with cam gears though. avoide slippage otherwise you could be saying "bye bye" to your engine...

[Dawzey]

did ur power fc have much to do with the power??

cos i am looking at getting mine on the dino, with a 12psi full exhaust, front mount and cold air on its way..

but i was looking at a power fc, are they the way to go or not??

cheers

[franks]

this is a before and after. only difference being boost was raised from say 0.7bar to 1.0bar.

its hard to say what difference the powerfc made on top of the boost gain, but when I first installed the FC i remember the torque was raised like 50newtons across the whole rev range.

the car definately felt alot more torquey down low. up top there wasn't that much difference, maybe just under 10rwkw gain?

but it all comes down to the tuner. its hard to go past the FC because of its plug & play features and sydney workshops/tuners are getting alot better at them now (c&v for instance). so there'll be an abundance of knowledge around...

[Roy13]

I'm not quite sure the difference between your car and benm's but shouldn't you be getting more the same kw's as benm. You are nice and lean so what do you think the diiference is as the HPI R34 has also 1 bar and 202rwkw's, i ask as i am about to get my car tuned and expect to get nealy 200rwkw?
