Its stock internals except exhaust cam, on 0.9 bar still just as response and enough power. Its IT 50, what does all that stuff mean? BP:99.0 RH:25 AT:39 IT:50 RR:013 TN:3.768 CK:726? I have heaps of wheel spin all the way through first gear, does anyone now how to best set up the car and what tyres to use to get more grip. I have tein super street coilovers set 3cm lower and its shocks at 8 out of 16 also have whiteline handling kit with sway bars and bushes to reduce camber by 0.75 degrees in rear.

Reedy very nice, are the internals of your RB25DET standard?

Can anyone tell me how their GT-RS performed at lower boost such as 0.8 or 0.9bar, apart from lower power output, still responsive?

Boost i got 210rwkw on 0.8bar which is pretty much standard boost. on that it seems a little laggier but top end it still goes.

IT = Inlet Temperature

AT = Ambient Temperature

RH = Relative Humidity

RR = Ramp Rate

BP = Barometric Pressure

CK = Check sum (formula to validate these settings)

Re traction problems, Teins, what's the rear spring rate? Usually I find it WAY to high. Anything over 200 lbs per inch (3.5 kg/mm) is too much.:P

The engine light will also come on if your AFM maxes out. If you are running 1.3 bar with the standard AFM then it will max out for sure.

Just took it out for a run now, first cold night since i got it. on 1.3 bar boost at high rpm engine cut-out light comes on, was told that this is pinging although i cant hear anything. going to run it back on dyno to set timing back a few degrees.

I am sure thizzle made 250kw @ 1.3 bar, it is impossible to make it at 1 bar.

    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
    • Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg    
    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.
