Howdy guys,

Well as the topic states i need your advise on upgrading my R33.

Details atm:

R33 GTS-T

Auto

3 inch Cat back

High Flow Cat (Yet to install)

What i want to do:

Install -FMIC 600x300 approx

Install -Boost Controller & Boost to approx 12psi

Now i've spoken to a few ppl regarding installation and Computer. From what i've gathered i would need to use E-Manage as the other popular ones wont agree with the auto. Although Electronic Automotive(Melb) rekon that i could get away without using it simply by putting it on the dyno, see where it runs lean and set the MAX boost there....He rekons he's done it heaps of times with the most recent a R34 with just FMIC and controller, NO COMPUTER.....

He rekons the E-Manage is shyte as its just a piggy bak with very little options and simply not worth it...

From what i've gathered on the forums its obviously of benifit to have the computer done but can i get away without it? Im not after massive gains; just something modest on the standard turbo...say 160/170 rwkw???

If you plan to stick with the stock turbo you won't open up the world of hurt involved with Auto Skylines and ECUs.

Basically yes you can turn up the boost and not have any kind of fuel management system. However you will run very rich at the high end (I had down to 7 AFR) and you will experience a fuel cut, thus preventing you from running as high a boost as possible.

If you get a fuel management system like the SAFC2 or E-Manage you should be able to run maximum boost on a stock turbo.

If you want to upgrade the turbo, prepare to pay big bucks ($2000+) for a ECU replacement that can work well with the Nissan auto shift logic.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
