few bits to check on:

3inches or bigger Metal induction pipe with Pod filter.

Check pressure drop across intercooler

3inches or larger turbo back exhaust, all flanges has to be in 3inches, Cat has to be in 100 cell, no cat gives the best result.

Tension up the actuator rod.

Further update. This is the ATR45 SAT version for RB26, I've trailed the ball bearing version, and it have made a very slight increase in response. I'm hitting the MAP limit for the Haltech ecu, will be installing an 3 bars maps sensor shortly.

Result against Standard Bush bearing model:

Also running against my factory twins:

Any decent tuner would have dropped the exhaust after the dump...

its the first port of call after an unexpected result.

He sure did drop the exhaust.

The catco 3" metal high flow cat was brand new and installed by dvs. Hence why he dropped the muffler only. Jjr dump front pipe also 3" bell mouth brand new installed by him.

Unigroup reckons even new cats can cause restrictions.

We will see tomorrow

I'll keep you all updated

That's what I said. But I have to go through the detective work with the tuners which is a costly and painful process

Although they are both great to deal with.

I seem to remember 2 threads where there was a low power output, one was the GTX3067 thread and other Hanaldo's thread, correct me if im wrong but I think both had return flow intercoolers and JJR dump pipes..

Some intercoolers restricts, and I've found that with my stock GTR cooler as well. I've posted few examples here, Do a log with boost sourced before the cooler and see if that matches the reading on the sheet.

GTX3067 results were with return flow cooler, but dump is custom 3". That was thought to be an issue, but changed with zero difference.

I'm interested to see results of this investigation here.

Also how good does the adaptronic go compared to the likes of Vi-Pec/Link/Haltech ect in plug/play versions ofc. What can you do the Adaptronic for $$$'s wise with the sensors ill need and everything to just plug it in and set it up to go haha

I personally have not used Vi-Pec but I can comment on the Haltech & Adaptronic.

Haltech is more refined, has enough drivers to run full sequential injection & ignition where as the adaptronic is semi-sequential due to the lack of output, but Adaptronic has native serial input for most widebands and also direct flex sensor connection where as Haltech you will need to use an analog 0-5v input and if you want more inputs you'll need a pricy IO expansion box where as the adaptronic just pull off the cover and hook up additional sensors. Also adaptronic has a built-in 4 bar (43.5 max factoring in 1 bar atmospheric pressure) map sensor where as a Haltech has a 3bar (29psi max factoring in 1 bar atmospheric pressure).

If it boils down to features and price, Adatropnic hands down. If it boils down to software refinement and out of the box driveability from day one I would go Haltech.

You dont need a Dyno to check for an intercooler restriction, its cheaper to but another boost gauge or just move the boost gauge pickup to ore intercooler and see what pressure reads.

Gentlemen,

Did decat test. Ran 235kw at 13psi with no det on Unigroup dyno which apparently reads a bit lower (that's another argument).

Still losing boost from 17-->13psi.

Tao recommended pre loading actuator. Checked bov for leaks and did a run with it blocked off. Bov is fine.

They don't seem to think it's cooler yet.

Still some sort of restriction which is opening gate and preventing boost from being held.

Pull the circlip off the wastegate pin and check that there is about 5mm (half a hole) of preload.

Start checking hose clamps and silicone joiners.

I use a JJR return flow cooler and dump pipe, they are not the cause of your problems unless installed incorrectly.

Hoping mine doesn't get same issues with the .63 rear, however should be easier to hold 20psi externally gated yeah?

My cooler is 510x250x70 , tube and fin, which is worrying me a bit, however can't go any wider due to auto spoiler motors for the flip down lip on the 31. Could go to a 510x300x100 probably max.

    • I think my main complaint with your idea is that there is a veneer of idealism spread across it. You want the simple numbers to make it easier, but all they will do is make it easier for someone to come to the wrong conclusion because the fine details will kick them in the nuts. As it is right now, the tiny bit of arithmetic is NOT the obstacle to understanding what will fit and what will not fit. The reality of trying it is what determines whether it will fit. If you had a "standard rule" that R34 GTT guards have that magic 100mm space from the hub face to whichever side you were worried about, and someone said "excellent, this wheel is only 98mm in that direction, I'll just go spend $4k on them and jam them on my sick ride".....they would just as likely find out that the "standard rule" is not true because the rear subframe is offset to one side by a fairly typical (but variable) 8mm on their car and they only have 92mm on one side and 108 on the other.
    • It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.
    • But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.
    • Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..
