What's the issue? Tune related?

Could be a number of things. It's not there to make epic power. I just wanted him to throw it on and make sure everything was okay. But if its losing that much power something has to be wrong.

Just made a phenomenal 160kw@ 9-10psi!

Obviously Shaun @ BoostWorx is fixing it.

out of a 26 that is definitely low power.....i know your not after epic numbers but still should be higher then that......pretty sure Shaun will nut it all out and let you know what is going wrong with it.....hopefully nothing major mate.....

A stock RB25 (flywheel 187kw) only makes around 140rwkw. A stock S15 (147kw) makes 114rwkw. My stock V35 (206kw) makes 146rwkw. 160rwkw for a stock, tired nearly 20 years old GTR sounds reasonable.

my RB20. 172kw > engine feeling sick > 110kw

Hope you get it sorted mate, but the extra 2psi its missing for whatever reason would counteract some of the difference...

Thats exactly what I thought.

No boost restrictor, front pipes, catback and pods should of surely opened up the breathing a whole lot more.

My last car had most of the things youve listed there, and it would run a whopping 4psi on "stock" boost. I needed a boost tee to actually get it up to the standard 7psi. Funny thing is, they had a boost cut at 12psi with a buzzer that went off in the cabin when it hit... I could get my guage to read around 11-11.5psi when it hit. It wasnt leaking boost, it simply just didnt run would it should have without help.

I dont know if wastegate actuators get dodgey over time or not, but this car was in the same age bracket.

I just had a thought, if the BPV(s) was leaking and recirculating back into the intake, could that cause it?

Maybe, but would it be enough to only take off 2psi? On the standard boost gauge I get to the line under +7. +7 apparently being 1 bar or 14.7psi. So I assumed I'd be around 10-11psi.

But when Shaun said it should be making atleast 190kw @10-11psi and 230-250 on 14psi.

He said it could be a timing issue or exhaust issue. But it could be a combination seeing as I've just got a compliance cat (bashed) and some thrashed out trust front pipes and dirty dirty dirty apexi pods. That surely isn't helping me at all.

Its suprising how much difference little things can make. I gained noticably more punch just by removing the resonator from my 3" stainless exhaust. - unfortunately I cant vouch for how much it was in KW, but you get the idea.

Ask RBWARE how much difference an exhaust can make to your power output!

Also, I dont think the boost stock guage works very well somehow :rolleyes:

Its 14psi man, and if it weren't my engine would lean out and go BANG! as I only have standard injectors. And the standard boost gauge represents 14psi where it hits and sits all day everyday

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
