hi guy,

i currently own a 94 R33 gtst. and am (was) aiming for around 250rwkw. i currently have 225rwkw@ 15psi using a claimed 450hp T04 with PFC, 550cc Z32 ect ect... engine is unopened.

now the problem i have is that if i try to run more boost the knock levels start to increase... af/r are perfect 11.9 to 12.1 but is not making much more power on higher boost setting...

i still believe the turbo can reach my goals.... but am now starting to wonder what else could be holding me back???? intercooler, exhuast, manifolds ????????

what do you guys think???

If it knocks due to pre-detination, could it be that the air in the chambers is too hot?

Do you have ajustable cam gears, and have you adjusted the timing when the PFC was done? I recken you might be able to squeeze a bit more out with cam-gear adjustment or something along those lines.

I would say a quick set of tomie cams and forget the cam gears...

Thats what i am doing.... Found cam gears are hard to get right and found limited gains/loses....

wat power gains did you get from your cams??? where you able to run more boost??

I think you are pushing too much power with standard internals

240rwkw-250rwkw max with standard internals

plenium and do you hav a heat sheild and cai

mabe thremo fans

try 100ron and new tune as well

do you want power and or drivability

do you have a fuel pump and reg

Remember running thermo fans can be a pain...

Yes it creases less drag on the engine.... But when the fans kick in it puts extra strain on the alternator... So its it really worth it???

I did have a thermo fan on the hr31 only due to the lack of room after i did an engine exchange...

But found the temp to vary heaps and on a really hot day with the a/c on the thermo fan could not cope...

It was on almost all the time....

Id be checking out your intake temp and buying a set of cams.... 256 tomie's will do the job... Also a cai will help if you have a pod... Remember the colder the air goes in the colder it comes out....

my aim is 250 so hoping internal will hold

plenium is standard and standard clutch fan, i have all standard heat shelds over the turbo and a good cold air intake system, i also have all suporting mods including pump and reg

and james i want both power and drivability dont we all!!!

thanks for the reply

Would a lightend flywheel do anything to power out put and clutch

any sliping

and last i can think of without doing internals is homing and porting your exhaust manifold or go after market 1

james

not sure if if a lightend flywheel does anything for power??? clutch isnt slipping

ill try to find someone to test my cooler, hoping that will be the problem.

if not ill might have to look into porting, manifolds and or cams

cheers

stock internals should be fine upto around 280rwkw, he certainlty wont be at any restriction of the plenum or intake at 225rwkw thats for sure. you can check to see if your loosing pressure by recording boost at the turbo outlet and just before the plenum to see if your dropping pressure. boost doesn't make power, airflow does. upping boost will only amplify your problem, it will add more heat. more heat = bad. drop the exhaust on a dyno run and see how much you make. if you make lots more (which im guessing you will) then you need to look into a 3.5" exhaust and a split dump system and big mouth cat as well will most likely help

if i can recall i have around 1.5 to 2 psi pres drop. will try the things you have mentions next week....

turners not sure but thinks the turbo may be out of flow?

not using electronic one just a cheep daul stage one which has been holding nice steady boost for 3 years now....

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
