do you plan on modding after that? If not I would reccomend a remap depending where your ar Dr-Drift in VIC did mine (I am in Tas) and will be doing my retune... Unless you plan to leave it as is after that or live close, I would say a PFC would be best...

From my limited knowledge of r33's I would expect around 180-190rwkw once tuned from a series 2 (better turbo than the series one - nylon comperssor wheel)...

yeah thats what im after (for milestone 1) .. 190rwkw using fmic, mods i got, better dump and pfc...

so paulr33, are you saying that if i have my car dynoed at say 10psi with no fmic, then add one and redyno (with same 10psi), that there will be no power gain at all?

I have a stock r32 literally stock...but i have a fmic...it looks better:P its doesnt do anything on its own though...went your turbo warms up it provides a cooler air flow to the engine...hence and better burn in the engine...not really more power...a little but makes it more efficient when more boost is loaded into the engine...when you compress the air it gets hot so it helps with more boost and more air....but you still need the fuel and ecu to keep up.

I disagree with everyone here.

an R33 at 10psi on stock intercooler will have less power than the same car with fmic.

especially after a few good thrashings.

that little intercooler would already be heatsoaked.. with the fmic, it would still be getting cool air.

cool air would produce more power.

just like driving at night in 15 degrees compared to driving around lunch time in 25 degrees.

don't worry about re-chip for R33.

PFC is cheap these days for them.. something like $950 I think.

i put a hybrid front mount on and didn't touch the boost (kept it at 10psi) and i noticed a power increase. much more wheelspin in first and second, and steps out when i snap 3rd and chirps 4th rather well (even with 4 adults in the car and the aircon on), when it used to only just chirp (heavy duty clutch and 225 tyres). the clutch sucks for going through mcdonalds though.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
