    My White Japanese Girlfriend: R33 Build

    in Projects, Overhauls and Build-ups

    Posted · Edited by GeorgeLow

    I'm actually considering twin gates as they're a much more inexpensive option which actually perform similarly to a single one. Then again, I'll consult my mechanic about it to further understand this. Owh. Interesting. Do they have the side feed ones? As in modern injectors or are they all top feed? I was told that the turbo is capable of making around 360 to 400rwkw. Thats massive. I'd have to modify the internals. Lol. 350rwkw however does sound tempting. I'll be honest. I'm not too sure. It says Garrett M12 AR.70 on the compressor section but it says AR.82 on the turbine section.

    Long story short, my tuner sucks. Lol. Incompetent tuning at an exorbitant price. I'm actually considering other options. Called him up and he told me that he couldnt remember. Anyway, thanks admS15 for pointing me in the right direction. I'll look into it when I can. True what you said there. Sort it out and one less thing to worry about..

    Thanks Mark. Checked the video out. Pretty helpful tho they only did a comparison between twin turbos and single turbo.

    Johnny. You're back. Lol. Twin gates work out easier meaning?

    1150cc?!?! Isnt that a little excessive? Are 750cc and 1000cc any good? Cause some actually hit the 335rwkw mark with 750cc..

    Adms15, Yea man. I cant wait for it to be bolted on along with everything else and a tune. I'm targeting around 300rwkw. Thanks buddy. Was hoping to identify the reason as to why she is losing power. I'll have to get her looked at this weekend hopefully. I'm not too sure tho. I suppose the ecu kinda overwrites everything including boost controller, no? Before installation of ecu, i ran a turbosmart boost controller.

    Hello peeps! Updates! Updates!

    So I finally installed a better fuel pump and the ecu. Did a before and after run on dyno.

    Before: 196rwhp

    After: 226rwhp

    Can somebody please interpret the below graph cause the second graph looks funny? For some unknown reason, she loses power as she peaks. :unhappy:

    Was really disappointed with the results. I was told that she was capable of churning out approx. 270rwhp if there werent any boost leaks. Then I remembered Chasers telling me that I had a cracked throttle body a year ago when my R33 was still in Melbourne. Garghh.

    Moving forward, I bought some new parts for the 33 as planned. Hehe. :santa:

    1) Walbro 400lph Fuel Pump (Installed)

    2) HKS Fuel Rail

    3) Intake Manifold

    4) Bigger & Meaner Turbo - Garrett GT35R (TWIN SCROLL BABY!!!!)

    5) Turbosmart RacePort BOV (Installed)

    Next up on my shopping list, 80mm throttle body, 650cc injectors, bigger FMIC, external wastegate and custom twin scroll turbo manifold..

    Quick question tho, I did some searches on twin scroll set ups and I'm lost between having a single wastegate or twin wastegates. Some think single is substantial, others think twin does a better job. MM... Any ideas which is best?

    Oh yes. Before I end the post, I attended a Skyline Mega Gathering in Malaysia recently where 40 over Skylines turned up. Here are some from the meet. Kinda straying from the topic but you guys really need to see this. Hehe.

    Lol. Funny that you'd say that cause I've got mates running over 300kw and they recommended cometic. Lol. Then again, I did a quick search and there're more bad reviews than good. Haha. Probably because some people have luck with it. Lol. Anyway, what if I dont slap in new pistons, would an 87mm fit straight on? Not exactly the biggest fan of the NEO but would a stock HG actually be able to withstand that much KW on a regular RB25DET?

    Thanks mate. Its a love hate kinda thing. Some love it. Some hate it. Lol.

    350kw with stock internals?! Thats insane. Dont I need to replace the pistons and what not? Guess I'll be revising my power goals. Hahahahahhaa. Did a quick search on ebay and found that there're few specs for the gasket. Bore 87.0 or 88.0 / Thickness 1.2mm or 1.5mm. Checked the forum and many debated that stock gaskets are more reliable. Whats the truth in it tho?

    So.. bad news. Took the R33 out for dyno and discovered that there wasnt any boost. Got the car checked and found out that the original intake pipe shrinks whenever I accelerate. So I replaced it with a stainless steel one. Then took the car for a spin and still no boost. Did some brief research on the forum and found out that there were few possibilities. One being boost leak and the other, faulty actuator. Did the good old soapy water boost leak test and all was fine. So the main suspect, possibly the actuator.

    So, I have decided to put the ECU installation on hold and just proceed with other mods before I get the car tuned. Here's what I have in mind:

    1) Front facing plenum

    2) Upsized Throttle Body

    3) Intercooler

    4) Intercooler Piping

    5) Walbro 400lph Fuel Pump

    6) Fuel Rail

    7) Bigger and Meaner Turbo

    8) 50mm Tial Wastegate

    9) Top Mount Exhaust Manifold

    Then..a tune.

    Gonna start saving up for the big project. If things go well, 1 to 6 should be done by the end of this month. Will update soon.
