what said above is don't under estimate OEM, until you reach the limits.

Don't buy gear that's unnecessary for the power level wanted

Not sure what you ment buy that, the car has had a lot of work even before the upgrade. I had already maxed oem before I spent money on the turbo injectors computer intake and manifold so that makes no sence.

Yes it has an front mount intercooler I just didn't list it. Prob got a few others I haven't said

What manifold is it running? Are you getting adequate flow to the wastegate?

IE its not a china stainless manifold with a meter long WG pipe is it?

What do you mean max it at? We had flat 11.6 afr. 18 psi and it slowly dropped back to nearly 14 psi may that have been my problem?

I can't remember when or how much the microtech was its a plug and play with hand controller.

Not sure if it's a china manifold. It could be. It's got 2 pipes that join the collector and joint to 1 pipe to the gate

You bought crappy parts and thought it would add to your power goals. Many others have done the same thing, don't feel like we are singling you out. All you needed to max out the GT3076 was a 3 inch exhaust, turbo, decent modern injectors and a Walbro 255. A decent ecu (adaptronic etc) wouldn't have cost much more than the Microguess.

you mean micro-iceage/Neanderthal? lol fuark man I road tuned a car with it before, I was so close to just calling it quits.. it's was built by morons.

1x table is just RPM vs. ignition (yes there's no load) and there's another table for load and how much ignition you would like to shave off.. LOL..

you said " I had already maxed oem before I spent money on the turbo injectors computer intake and manifold so that makes no sence."

So I ask again, what did you previous setup max out at? and what did it comprise of?

Guys are making 200kW with stock injectors/manifolds/turbo/coilpacks etc.. with just more boost & ignition/fuel maps optimised (either through a toshi remap/Z32 new ecu, etc.)

My last set up was

Stock turbo

14 psi

Cooler

3" straight exhaust

Coil packs

Blitz boost controller

Bosh 040

Tuned remped computer

Can't think of anything else, made like 186 kW I think

I don't think most of my parts are cheap and crappy.

Garret gt3076r .63

Pro gate

Denso 880 injectors

Greddy copy plenum, been machined flat. So just like a genuine

Unsure of exhaust manifold but my friends vl has the same one making 589hp on 20psi

Blitz duel stage boost controller was told it was great!

Microcrap lt12 well I took some bad advice on that one

Turbosmart fuel reg

Bosh 044 pump off a relay for 13.8v

Can't remember what else.

The suspension and underbody is well ajustable everything. The car had cost a lot.

I think I'm about 70hp shy of what I thought I was building the motor for.

Mark did say the air temp adjustment prob was not in the engine bay and may have robbed me of a few hp?

The stock manifold was cracked and old and not a high mount set up and needed to for external gate.

Boost controller is a blitz duel stage. I can send a pic if u like? I had to change the fuel pump on the dyno because the old 040 let go. It's now a 044.

Maybe I just have a really tied motor. I'll do a compression test soon.

I know the microtechs are not the best but I didn't think it would cost me this much. Mark said he thinks the .63 is to small and that's y it drops boost off back to wast gate spring pressure.

I thought maybe some one might have had this sort of issue in the passed. I pretty much just copied someone's setup n thought it would work so I dunno what about a boost leak some where?

I was going to ask what the condition of the engine is like. Do a compression test and see if you can work anything out.

and you definently need a printout of the dyno graph. That will tell alot more of the story

not all 3076's get 300kw on 98, mine with gtx3076 0.83 external gate was limited to 278kw on 16psi, it just wouldn't take more timing so a 0.63 would of been even worse,

mine would rise 10kw per 1psi, so with 18psi you might get 265kw which maybe quite normal.. mine was running 175psi each cylinder which I thought might of been the reason,

run some E85 and you might find it will smash thru 310kw

You should get more power then that - mine is 284rwkw but with a little bit more timing I have gotten it to 294rwkw however on some loads would ping so safe at this.

This is just on straight 98, my gate is welded on the back of the turbo housing.

Similar support mods, obvisously different ecu and tuner but for your reference:

    • Im not entirely sure exactly what or where its leaking from, he started to pull the boots to swap to my new tie rods + ends and it just vomited fluid, so he closed em up up, swapped the rod ends to the old rods and let me know so I can figure a solution out, im guessing its all origional as as I passed 103k miles earlier this year im sure its just in need of a full overhual/rebuild anyways.    If i could just yank it off and be good it wouldn't be an issue to ship it out and wait for the turnaround but the guy I work with doesnt really have space to keep my car for a week or two at a time, would rather drop it off and have a replacement ready to drop in
    • What do you mean by "seals"? Internal hydraulic seals (ie, is it leaking PS fluid?) or the rack boots that close the rack onto the tie-rods? Because the former is a rebuild, and the latter is trivial that you or any nearby mechanic could do. Dunno about the cowl. Just buy what you think is required and get anything else you find/break afterwards. Wing? Dunno. Don't like R33s enough to pay attention to them. Mirror glass is just glass (on the surface that you want to polish). Go for it.
    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
