ok i had a huge massive truck cooler on my car when i had my powerfc tuned and just recently i sold it and put the stock coioler back on

with the truck cooler the knock readings on the PFC were normal, with the stock cooler they were a little higher (what i expected)

but NOW with my new genuine trust front mount kit (600x276x76) its giving me really high knock readings, but the car is going a fair bit harder and WAY better response than ever, why would this be ? do i just need a retune ? anything i can do in the meantime?

cheers

Hey noof can i buy your ...oops nevermind! Seriously, you need a bigger turbo, injectors, and fuel pump. This with a dyno tune will fix your problems. The trust cooler will be cooling the inlet charge better. therefore allowing you to cram more air in the cylinders resulting in a leaner mix this is reflected in your power gain and in your higher knock readings just give the boys at your tuning shops a call and give them your readings from the powerfc and they will advise you if a re-tune is in order. And i must ask... have you been on holiday because you seem to have a great tan!

haha yes, i slept too long in the tanning studio :rofl: and became a movie star!

yer it sounds about right, i was going to slap it on the dyno anyways just to make sure but yer looks like some tuning will be required, just annoying i can't go out and fang it because its going nice n hard

also i was wondering, the trust kit came with some vaccum hose that it said to tpiece into the pressure regulator vaccum line over to the boost controller vaccum line, what would this be for ? i didnt do it because it seemed silly but i thought perhaps it creates a more even and accurate vaccum/boost reading across the baord in the engine perhaps ??

That sounds like it makes sense, perhaps providing faster fuel reg. response. Trust trust power, they know their sh1t. Do it and take it for a run. PS i am running a modded manual computer in my auto R33 with 0.9 boost and loving it! no dyno for me!!

i have an apexi boost gauge, its doing about 0.55-0.6bar boost, i have my Electronic boost turned off because when i went back to stock cooler i didnt want to risk pinging etc, and havent turned it back on because its pinging now more than ever with only damned stock boost

Danny: awesome, when did ya get that done ? chuck it on a dyno and see how much power she's got now :) oh and i heard those exhaust quietining thingos are bad for the cat converters, they can burn out, just in case u didnt already know dat (but you prolly did :rofl:)

This sounds pretty accurate :uh-huh:.

But if you are using alot more fuel, than i am, it goes to reason that your car is running richier than mine (we are both making approx. same power) so you shouldn't be running lean. Might be worth getting a retune with air/fuel ratio readings as well as power, just to see what's going on.

The computer has intermittent problems with stalling thats why J-SPEC gave it to me to play with, its firmly mounted under the floor mat so i can throw stuff at it at traffic lights when it starts running on less than 6 cylinders!!! thanks for the heads up on the apexi ECV hurting the cat i'll up it's intake of whiskas to keep it healthy! Have you mounted your Power FC?

    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
