Hi,

Ive got a manual 34 with turbo back 3" exhaust, apexi pod, hks bov, avcr (0.7 bar) and power fc. The mods were fitted in this order first exhaust > pod > avcr > pfc.

After I had the Power FC tuned I was slightly dissapointed with the 'increase' in power (it was tuned on the road, not a dyno by chapman & chapman). Since then I haven't been too worried about it as the car is running perfectly, and the tuner had ironed out a 'miss' I had on idle and some backfiring between gears caused by the atmo bov. It was only today that I realised my car is hardly any quicker than a standard manual sedan (judging purely by 'feel').

Just now i swapped back to my standard computer and it doesn't really feel hardly any slower..... I am going to run it on a dyno -

My question is how much power (at least) should I expect?

Dan666 was also in my car and agreed it should be a lot quicker......

Any ideas??

Cheers, Paul

Hmmm - cheers bass i'll see how I go.

By the way I ran 13.9 @ 101mph with 2.21 60 foot - That was a 3500 launch (obviosuly not dropping the clutch) and it was on 19" chromes with 235's. Also remember its a sedan... Bass - how did you get a 1.9 60 foot?

I was quite happy with this time - although shoudl i expect more? I think the sedan is at least 150kg heavier than the coupe?

Your missing a fmic.......

I went through the same thing in my car......I got the PFC by necessity as my afm stuffed up and I decided to get a z32 and pfc while I was at it.

I had pretty much the same mods, exhaust, pod, blitz ID3, z32 and pfc.

Have to admit the pfc DID make a little bit of difference but not as much as I expected, but once the front mount was installed and the pfc had a bit more room to do its magic it made a HUGE difference.

Admittedly the dyno is a bit of a happy dyno...but the difference the fmic should be legit as it was done on the same dyno...

I ended up going from 183rwkw before fmic to 220rwkw after fmic.

I got a front mount installed a few days ago. The car is alot quicker all the way through the revs. I can't belive it actually seems to have less boost lag - theres alot more response all the way through the revs. It actually felt 'doughy' before, now it feels almost like 2 people have got out of the car. It hasn't been retuned yet, i'm not sure how much would have to be adjusted with just the addition of an intercooler... it will be done this week some time.

I've driven a fair few cars (mainly 32's and 33's) with bigger front mounts and the same mods as mine minus the computer and really have felt hardly quicker than cars with stock coolers... maybe r34's with better breathing on the intake and exhaust and tighter a/f ratios really put alot more pressure on the stock cooler??

Either way i'm happy :P I'll get a dyno readout in a while and let you know - i'd be happy with anything over 190kw...

    • Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi
    • My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
    • Turbotapin   so I am about to be mounting mine up been waiting for the body to get finish at paint. I had a question. I was told our Speedo sensor it originally in the transmission but the cd009 is in the diff on the z. How did you get around this? 
    • I definitely do recommend having a fab/grinding/dirty shed or area to keep all that grinding dust out of your main shed.  But you're right, it doesn't matter how much room you have you still end up filling it! I might even do a short video which will make it easier to fully take in the horrors of what I've created...
