R34 Gtr Garrett -5 Turbo Lag, Need Advise

In saying that the first thing I noticed when changing to a 3.5 inch y pipe collector was how quick they spooled up in comparison. Quite a noticeable improvement from 3800 and had to adjust the ebc to stop a spike.

Here's a dyno of the Z-tune with same exhaust as mine except it's titanium. Much better graph but I guess it's all the work done to the motor internally that makes the difference. So now every one knows much power the Z-tune really makes, he he.

So after 2 years its finally time to bring a conclusion to this thread. Most of the lag has been fixed since last dyno run and only 2 parts were changed.

Replaced stock twin turbo pipe with Nismo inlet pipe, this I think made the biggest difference to the response and driveability of the car. Boost was slightly higher and coming on earlier as well. Despite what some people have said, this part made the biggest difference for me.

2nd part was changing the exhaust system. Replaced the nismo exhaust (3 inch) with mine's front pipe and tomei 3.5 inch exhaust. This lowered the restrictions and improved top end.

So in conclusion for low mount twins for driverability and reduce lag, best bang for buck is better merger of twin turbo pipe and bigger exhaust. All other mods such as dumps pipes, intercooler, intercooler hard pipe, decat, etc although made a small difference to mid-high did not do much to low-mid and driverability.

Dyno graph to follow.

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
