After Modification

tuned in racepace...i know they are awesome guys and know what they are doing....

there should be something wrong as with stock turbos, i made 256kW but after turbo swaps, i only got 287kW....

l thought it may be race pace from the comments you posted that is why l asked. If you are not happy get a second opinion.

The comment of changing to smaller wheels will give 300kw. Thats what gave it away.

Safe tune, safe boost level - all on a stock motor with stock parts. I don't really see what the issue is here...

290rwkw = normal for all of the above. Look @ the before/after graphs though. It's not just about peak power dude.

If you wanna chase power (maybe 30rwkw if you are lucky)...

Injectors - 700

AFM - 700

Pump - 400

Cam gears - 300 (if you dont have already)

Then there is tuning costs for all the new parts and so on. So spend $2500 more for the bit of power, or be happy as is mate.

You'll then make around 300-320rwkw on 20-22psi but it's a question of reliability mate. If you cannot afford the rebuild (8-10k) then don't chase the power.

I think its quite resonable and safe if you are on a budget. Also there is no risk of the turbos shitting a wheel and destroying your motor.

Oh and side point, don't worry about anything bodge has to say - he is just a serial sook that complains about his set-up in every thread that mentions Racepace, yet won't actually get looked at. He'd rather just complain for 12 months about it

Now that sounds better...atleast that gives me confidence that my car is fine...

i might do the above upgrades as you mentioned to get upto 300-320kW....

I am not too keen to open up the motor yet as everything seems to be fine so far with the motor....i've been told that opening up the motor can cause problems as well in future (comments from normal mechanic, not skyline mechanic)

so, without opening the motor, i can still chase upto 320Kw...thats impressing now and very temptating

I guess BODGE is well known here on SAU

You can chase more power - however i would honestly advise against it.

Seems you missed my point in the above, ill try again

R33 motors are getting old now like R32 ones - ~15yrs.

If you do not have the budget nor want to rebuild - do not chase that extra 20-30rwkw. Be happy where it is regardless of how tempting it might sound.

Its when you want that "extra 10-20" that shit will go wrong.

fair enough

ill probably rebuild soon, but not anytime soon yet thou...

thanks for the info mate, now it all makes more sense to me...

*just curious : Are you from racepace too?

[R31Nismoid]

Np dude, i'd hate to see you end up with a broken motor and then in the pooper money wise.

Seen it happen to a few forum users & club members over the years and its unfortunate

Nope. I just get some of my work done there depending on what i need

Really appreciate your advise mate....Thanks heaps again

The previous figures was on the same dyno as well....

I was thinking of getting an opinion for another tuner....

i was been told that if i had smaller wheels, i could get upto 300kW ???

depends on the size of wheels.

wheel size / tyre choice can play a big part of the number that shows up on the dyno.

semii slicks and even soft cheap tyres will show a lower power figure on the dyno.

ive seen cars make different power on different tyres on back to back dyno runs, with wheel swaps inbetween runs.

thats my 2 cents worth.

on a std engine i would stick to safe power as like ash said, std 33 gtr motors are around 12 - 15 years old now.
