Putting 98 RON fuel should allow you to wind the boost up a bit higher before it starts to ping at all (much)..

why were you tuning the car on a mixture of 95/98?

it was tuned at bens and on his dyno got to 232rwkw, but on another it only got 212rwkw, the problem has been fixed now it seems that the stock boost is actually 12 psi so turning it up a bit should see the power go up,

thanks for your help guys and snowy

cheers

R34 N1s are not the same as standards but just with steel wheels. They are very different on the exhaust side with .64 A/R rear housing compared to .48 A/R for the stockies. they also have different size and trim wheels, and a ball bearing centre and a built in seperater in the exhaust housing to seperate the wategate flow. There is no reason with 18-20psi and the right tune that you can't make 330rwkw+ with those turbos. The 34 N1s are very similar to a GT-SS. Some '34 N1s' i've seen also have a .60 A/R comp cover which makes them pretty close to a 2530. They are a pretty good turbo for a street GTR.

the question is: are you sure they are 34 N1s?

yes we are sure, we have looked at them from undeneath and that is what was specified that was on the car. you can here them wind down they are definatley roller bearing.

I would have thought that with R34 N1 turbos you would have no chance of reaching 300rwkw, unless you were running some rediculas boost, say 28psi :D , and this will probably be past their efficience range.

A descent set of cams would probably solve the problem :(

I think you'll find that 34N1's are similar to GT-SS's, and would comfortably make 300rwkw on 20 psi, I doubt it very much they'll reach 330rwkws unless your running cams, big boost and good fuel or do a run in shoot-out :( . Take into consideration each dyno is different, but going by what Ben tells me they're rediculously responsive down low but do suffer a bit up top.

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
