Sorry for the new thread; I've done a lot of searching but didn't find answers to everything.

I just bought a series 1 R33 with RB25det and a few mods.

3 inch turbo back

big FMIC

aftermarket coilpacks (not sure which brand)

heavy duty clutch.

boost gauge in cabin.

Stock turbo, motor, injectors, ECU, fuel pump

It maxes out around .6 bar maybe slightly more. Is this just wastegate pressure? I know its an internal wastegate I have no experience with internal gated turbos.

Power ramps up quickly between 3-6k RPM, but backs off between 6-7k. Never experienced this with a turbocharged car before.

I know I have the mods to support a higher power set up, it feels kinda slow compared to my old Honda Prelude turbo.

My question is, how much boost can I run on the stock fuel pump, injectors without pushing ~90% duty cycle?

Also, how does the stock fuel mapping go with 12-14psi?

I thought when people say Turbo back that included the dump. I'll have to get under the hood and have a proper look, haven't had time yet.


What are the preferred value options for aftermarket engine management? My old tuner is Adrian at Toda in Sydney, I should give him a ring

Sorry my bad, I misread turbo back for cat back.

There are a bunch of ecu's available from the older powerfc's to Link, ViPec, Haltech and Adaptronic. It will come down to what your tuner likes using.

There are a few very good tuners with extensive experience with RB's that are mentioned regularly here at SAU. It might also pay to do more reading on who people like using.

DVSJEZ and Unigroup are two tuners I have no hesitation suggesting but there are plenty more in Sydney or thereabouts.

Mate thanks for all your help today

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
