Hey, my friend has an R33 GTS-t and is about to install the following mods. He wanted me to ask here roughly what sort of power figure he should expect. Now I know all dyno's read differently but all i need is an estimate as to how much power he will be making, as he is very sure his car will be quicker than my 220rwkw S13 Silvia and I really don't believe it will be.

This competition will be sorted out properly at the drag strip at Calder Park...

His mods are:

exhaust from front pipe back (stock dump still)

FMIC

Pod

HKS Step 1 Cams

Nismo fuel pump

Nismo fuel reg

Bleed valve at 12psi

he will make about 180rwkw no he wont beat you BUT if he installs an ecu and a proper dump pipe you will get beaten.

almost a Vs thread :P

Without an aftermarket ECU or air converter eg SAFC he might even be lucky to get that 180rwkw.

Weird order to do the mods IMO - i would have thought cams would be at the very bottom of the shopping list.

And yes, at Calder you will have his car for breakfast.

Check the dyno thread please. This thread really isnt required.

The results for stock turbos are in there, as are the 100's of other posts on this topic of stock turbo'd R33/dyno results.

And no, unless you cant drive, no way a sil will be slower than a R33 mainly due to the large weight difference

Yes, its a very weird order to do mods. He brought some Nismo 555cc injectors too, but you can't install these with the stock computer, right?

He doesn't want to upgrade the turbo yet, but if i were him I would of brought a Power FC and maybe exhaust manifold instead of the cams and injectors.

R31Nismoid: Sorry dude, I didn't realize the dyno thread was there, thanks for the info.

Coolio :P

Will give him some turbo upgrade ideas for later on down the track too :D

He will need an ECU for the 555's.

And yeah, i agree, PowerFC would have been a "better" first option instead of cams

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
