Disappointing Results

I recently upgraded my turbo from a HKS GT2530 to HKS 2835 pro s with some disappointing results.

My mods include

HKS FMIC

HKS Pod + custom instake

Wolf v500 ECU

Turbo back 3" exhaust

Hi flo cat

Aftermarket intank fuel pump

Injectors and manifold are stock.

The 2530 was making 307rwhp. After removing 2530 and installing the 2835 and retune car is making 305rwhp @ 16psi!

The tuner states the problem is the engine and he suggests rebuild. He says thay had the car at a max 330rwhp at its absolute limit with the 2835. He tapered the hp back as it was an unsafe tune. The car has 101,000 (probably not realistic!) on the clock and has never missed a beat in the 12,000 kms I have driven it.

I am unsure of what to do. I am considering taking it to another tuner for a second opinion, before I start pulling engines apart and spening big $$!

Could anyone shed some light/advice on this?

PS. car had BP98 in it during tune and exhaust was tested to be fine (no restrictions or temp issues).

can you show us a dyno graph please?

looking for boost, AFR and power plot

this will help

if you max the injectors, the AFR should lean out off the planet, the tuner would have seen that and said holy crapsticks batman and backed off and told you injectors are maxing

so i suspect something else is holding it back. how is the dump pipe setup? what exhaust? what cat? what does the tune look like? does it ping/detonate?

1. It wont be the motor

because

2. As everyone else has said, stock injectors.

To suggest a rebuild is silly and unfounded as far as i see it. Take the car somewhere else.

Clearly they do not know what they are doing if they suggest a rebuild to fix a problem thats got nothing to do with the motor

Thanks for the responses. I will post the Dyno sheet once I get access to a scanner.

The tuner tells me the stock injectors can handle 400hp before replacement is needed. The duty cycle on them was apparently fine?

I purchased the pro s kit, hence I got the HKS dump/front. My existing dump pipe was modified to reach the cat from the HKS front/dump. Cat back the exhaust is 3" Kakimoto. He said he checked the exhaust for restriction and it all tested fine?

The engine began to ping at 330rwhp @ 1.2 bar. Hence the reason the tuner toned it down to be safe.

I immediately think exhaust restriction somewhere but he tells me its fine. The exhaust is a little chopped up now from refabrications I wouldn't think that would cause an issue unless there was a leak?

I do know another tuner who is apparently good with wolf ecu's, hence I am keen to see him for a 2nd opinion.

Rebuild.. By any chance have you mentioned your pay packet to your tuner? Sounds like thats what hes chasing rather than a power figure.

Yes thats exactly what I am thinking!! Hence looking for opinions.

I want to find out if its just negligent tuning/installing. To prove this I will have to go to another tuner.

Injectors though seemingly expensive are a must have , really should be next after the exhaust and computer much past the abilities of the std turbo .

I'd also think seriously about a fuel pump such as a good used 33 GTR one that falls in . If your std pump is a bit tired it is danger to you engine if it dies at the wrong moment .

My vote to pump and injectors and Z32 AFM if not MAP sensed .

Hook a lappy and the software up to your own ECU, got for a blat and check the max inj duty :laugh:

Just went for a drive, got the below numbers.... injector duty highest reading was 85.2 at 13.4 psi. First time I have done this! I take it this could mean my injectors are the issue?

Packet Number0 32

Packet Size 32

RPM Decimal 5625

Load Decimal 74

Throttle Position 65.2

PSI Boost 13.4

Injector 1 Delivered 18.056

Injector 1 Acc Enrichment TICs 0

Injector 1 Duty Cycle 85.2

      That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
