Hi

Please dont flame me for starting these threads but i'm a bit stuck as to what mod i should get next. Obviusly i want the most gain in power.

I will be purchasing either a profec A ebc or a safc II next week but will only be able to purchase one at this current moment

Current ride is a r34 GTT with a full exhaust and a pod filter.

I'm looking at boosting it to 10psi and occasionally to 12psi for quick squirts (is there such thing as 11psi or is it even increments?). Is this ok for a gtt on stock IC and turbo? Will i experience any substantial gain in upping 2/3 psi boost?

SAFC II

well i guess this speaks for itself

i think the safc II will be the smart "safe" choice but wat are your thoughts on an ebc?

what other mods do you have?

I initially had full exhaust, FMIC, then I boosted it to 10 psi with the norgren 2 valve + check valve system which cost me $150 intotal to build.

The car went like crap b/c it was overfueling on 10psi boost.

When I got my SAFC2 and tuned it, my dyno chart showed 200rwkw at 9psi, and the car felt great. Not just power, but driveability and smoothness made it so much more enjoyable to drive.

Now I have an R32 wastegate actuator which I picked up for $50. Hold 10psi of boost better than any valve or EBC. If I want more boost, I can wire up the standard boost solenoid to a switch, and that doesn't cost a cent.

if you just want 10psi boost on the standard turbo, dont waste your money on an EBC, just get the RB20DET wastegate actuator, and get the SAFC2.

The SAFC2 is the best value for money mod on an RB25DET (or the jaycar kits - same thing)

cool thanks for the response

yeah, i'm goin to buy the safc today as the guy is selling for a good price =)

would a rb20det wastegate actuator work on a rb25det neo?

might have to look into this as well so i dont waste the tuning

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
