Hey guys

have 201rwkw on a r33 series 1 gtst

power fc

Hiflow cat

AVCR

FMIC

CES Racing 3" split dump

Set on 12psi at the moment

I have purchased a hiflow turbo ( plain bearing)

at the moment gettin new bearings put in it ( not ball bearing)

I'm going to be uppin the boost abit to a safe level.

Should i consider getting other things at the same time

like

Walboro fuel pump ( I did buy a bosch pump 040 but, i want to put it in myself and im not goin to bugger around with making a bracket for it.)

Injectors

Z32 AFM

Any help would be much appreciated

I would like to get close to 230rwkw

Thanks

gtr pump will be cheaper and direct fit and run at 12v instead of the walbro needing to run at 15volts. z32 is direct swap powerfc (needs AFR check) and get some s15 manual injectors (480cc) and it should all be fine

just the standard r33 series 1 turbo im guessing

plain bearing

Steel wheels

it is at turbo australia at the moment, getting new bearings put in it and rebalanced

as it did have a lil bit of movement in the shaft

Not sure of the specs and whateva, soon will find out when i get it back.

You will be a little dissapointed with that turbo bazr33, I know, I`ve been there.Read a couple of posts up on hi-flowed injectors and it may give you some idea where your headed.I did try the cheap hi-flow turbo and didn`t like it.To slow.Not painful but got a gcg hi-flow and it was much better.I would certainly spend the money and go ball bearing.Anyhow, if you get the z32 afm and some injectors try 14LB boost and you will be happy, very happy. :wavey:

You shouldn't need injectors to get to 230rwkw at all. You can save hundreds here. A new fuel pump and a fuel pressure regulator should be plenty to get that power.

Speaking with my personal experience where I've made 240rwkw with pump and fpr. However, I'm limited to 16psi where my turbo wants to run 20. Injectors are next but for 230rwkw I wouldn't bother.

  • 5 months later...

have 230rwkw

with walbro fuel pump and the hiflow plain bearing turbo set on 12psi

(also the mods i have listed at the start of course)

next is 555cc injectors, z32afm and fuel reg and goin to 18psi

also have just purchased a aerospeed exhaust side cam gear

so i'll see if that makes any difference

240rwkw would be acheivable on standard injectors and running a fuel reg, as on standard injectors im only 10kw away from it.

with the 555cc injectors that im going to put in, with the z32 afm aswell

we are hoping to hit 260rwkw, and cant see why that wouldnt be possible

Yes the plain bearing will get hotter and take longer to spool up, but aslong as theres sufficient oil flow, and not sitting on 18psi everyday,every minute, i think it will be fine.

But if the turbo does decide to shit itself, it will be a rebuild or new one.

Obviously im just wanting a safe tune, 260rwkw is going to be my limit, with still having a standard engine.

Will let you guys know if she blows or if she goes and hits the mark.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
