R33 series 1 FMIC, full exhuast, GCG GT3082R bolt on kit runs done at 18psi.

Auto 241.7rwkw (381.7nm) (thin blue line)

Manual 277.6rwkw (429.9nm) (thick blue line)

Auto 200rpm better response (normal of course)

Vct was set @ 7000 to produce best power and curve, red dyno line is vct set at factory point..... massive loss of mid range.

This VCT drop is very common on just about any turbo making over 250rwkw it just isnt as easy to pick up on with a inertia dyno, i see it alot in cars that come in for dyno runs.... moving the VCT point up towards redline until it smotths out is the bst way to fix it generally between 6200 and 7000 yields the best results.

yup pfc set value. (switch point)

that value is where the VCT is switched off. The way i thought the vct works is that it switches on at about 1500rpm (cannot change this on pfc) then switch's off at 4000rpm (or whatever you have set in the pfc software)

So this means that you have a massive inlet cam advance all the way to red line... I was told the engine would start to ping if you did this, did you run the K-MON on this engine when tuning it ?

Would be interesting to see this with the R34 and their apparently "improved" electronic lock-up torque converter (Nissans "E-flow") either way I've always factored 33% loss in the autos, some people have been way to conservative on the actual loss.

Hmm interesting, might have to play around with this on the next tune. Have you found this only works with stock cams, or will something like Poncams still have the same benefit moving the VCT switch point that high?

correct, i set the PFC switch point to 7000 (on this particular car)

K-mon is always connected :P timing curve is nice and strong.... no sign of det, even on the most aggressive ramp (1sec for every 370rpm or 15 sec in total)

well on SR's (S15 etc) which run the same setup the results are similar with poncams, i think i have athids graphs (peak of 300rwkw but with varying midrange with each differrent switch point) somewhere where i incresed the switching point in 1000rpm increments on each run until it was smooth. i will see if i saved it.

with the new wastegate actuator im at 330 rwkws

with a 2800 high stall and standard trans but fully built by MV Auto.

i should come for a drive to see you trent and then run the car at the street drags in melb.

i will be selling the car soon so it would be nice to see its potential before she goes.

Are you sure the VCT is working at all - I havn't seen that work before. I would have though that you would kill you top end - the engine has oil pressure right??? :)

I would have asked this question, but i think trent knows what he is doing. it does sound far fetched but it takes a game tuner to try new things like this and put them to test.

So :P - i might do some testing next time i have my car on the dyno

yeah, i start from 4000rpm and move the point upwards until the area under the curve is largest/ smoothest. I only included one run (red one) on the print out as it gets pretty busy with 6 runs overlayed.

sooo the auto will be slower ?????

Hard to say without running it down the strip, i reckon from seat of the pants the auto with its shift kit was quicker especially outta the hole but no doubt the manual would run a better MPH.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
