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.

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.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
