I'm chasing at least 200 rwkw tomorrow.

Mods incl emanage, e-01 boost controller, hks split dump, hks 3" front, high flow cat, hks 3.5 cat back, trust fmic, k&n filter.

Tuner did preliminary air/fuel tune on Sat and got 48 extra rwhp (from 190 to 238). In kw terms that's an increase from 141.8 rwkw to 177.5 at .80 bar (11.6 psi). Misfiring at around 4500 rpm up. Could not tweak air/fuel ratios beyond 4500 rpm. He asked me to change the plugs.

I did that on Sun...NGK iridiums were replaced with NGK BCP6RES (.8mm gap). I had a heated argument with sales person at local Repco branch when he insisted that R34s do not use cheap plugs. I just asked him to shut up and give me the cheap plugs (geez this website is really very helpful). Amazing result! Engine now revs smoothly all the way up to redline.

So, I'm after an extra 32 rwhp (23.8 rwkw) to bring power up to 270 rwhp (201.4 rwkw).

Do you guys think it's achievable with the rest of the rev range from 4500 available for tweaking? (I was thinking of boosting it up to 1.0 bar).

Hi, yeah i had the emanage and the e-01 in my car for a while. The max I could get outta the stock turbo was .97. Unforunately our AFM wont allow anything else, was peaking out at 5 volts. Without a front mount/dump/highflow cat and with a 4" cat back i pulled 161rwkw on BMT's dyno. Mine used to misfire as well by when i installed the emanage it took care of that problem.

I'm about ready to install a PFC and z32 with a front mount. Just trying to decide where to get it all done. From what everyone is saying Ice I will probably be paying them a visit shortly.

Thanks for all the advise guys. Cheers....Nick

Another Q for the 34 owners, wat do u gap ur plugs at, .8 or .7.

Abo-Bob what turbo u running?

Toby19 Your trust front mount, i'm guessing that its the kit was designed for a 34 (designed as in all the piping came with the kit). I was thinking of ordering this as well but just wanted to ask was it hard to fit. I am planning on fitting mine. Does your kit go thru the battery shelf or around? A pic would really help me out. Thanks mate.

Groundrun,

Trust FMIC was designed specifically for the 34. No adjustments needed, body kit needs no cutting. pipes follow stock flow (cold air outflow is diverted to bottom of cooler to meet with stock throttle intake pipe. No hassles. With plug gap, like I said before 0.8mm seems to be the optimum for a mildly tuned car. Try it, it's not that expensive.

Abo Bob, I will be using 1.0 bar on stock turbo. Greddy E-01 has 4 boost settings: off-.55 bar (7.9 psi) which is the factory boost, low, high and over-take boost ( duration of which can be timed from 1sec upwards). I will be setting low boost at .7 bar (10.2 psi), high boost at .8 bar (11.6 psi) and over-take boost at 1.0 bar for 30 seconds (good for short spurts).

Groundrun,

Not very good photos but you will see that engine bay looks very stock. Both intake and outflow pipes are directed towards the same side. The outflow pipe is run from lefthand side of fmic through the bottom onto the right side. Cooler fits perfectly

    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
    • STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
