I think my car is down on power compared to others I have heard about with simliar setups.

Current mods;

Nismo fuel pump

555cc Nismo Injectors

HKS GT2835 Pro S turbo (420ps)

Tomei 270 Degree cams

Full 3" exhaust.

Greddy Plenum

HKS front mount

HKS Fcon V pro ECU (Map sensor type)

So far the best power i have managed to produce is 320rwhp on 1.3 bar. To me it seems kind of average, cause i've heard of other people making 380-400 rwhp, on this turbo. The tune in my ecu was done in Japan and its fairly rich around low 11:1 afr but would this be making that much difference? How much HP should i be making? I'm changing over to a Power FC D-Jetro, just so i can get someone to tune it here in australia in hope to gain more, but what power levels should i expect, or am i expecting too much from this turbo?

I recently bought a GTR from Japan with an Impul tuned EPROM in it. The barstards glue the EPROM to the board so you cant read it - however this didn't stop me and I was able to pull the PROM and read the data. I really wasn't that impressed with there tune - very conservative all round, fuel was too rich in top end 11-10.5 and timing was very shy through power. Knock parameters where standard (not that it matters in the topend).

Could be a blocked cat as well or some kind of inlet restriciton. My advice would be to check the cat/restrictions and then either get the ECU re-tuned or PFC.

250rwkw sounds pretty good check the rb25det turbo upgrade dyno thread, i think theres at least one other 2535 turbo. your at about the max of the 2535 turbo as far as i can recall going from the ps rating. i dont see how the powerfc d-jetro will give you more power. it will be easier to tune with the normal powerfc and a z32

Hey ookami, i also have the 2835 and managed 333rwhp on 15 pounds (tiny bit over 1 bar) without PowerFC. Something has to be holding you back...

you made 333hp with a stock ecu? you sure? My car is junk then!! I've got a greddy plenum and bigger cams and everything too!! Is yours the 2835 pro s with the weird Exhaust flange?

How did you manage to get the epoxy resin of the eprom? I also tried to pull one of a board, but my fingers aren't as strong as your.

some people must have weird dyno readings or something. I don't understand how they make more power on less boost. I know i would gain some power with a decent tune, but some people are claiming on stock injectors. how does that work?

I'd ditch the ecu and get yourself a powerfc, or if you really want something that has alot of features (and so you can toss the afm) get a link, haltec, or autronic.

****, you'll get alot more power with a good tune, judging by the mods you've already done.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
