Hey guys,

i have a few plans for my r33 and hope to get 300rwkw out of it by the time i have finished.

I'm doing the usual supporting mods, bosch 044, bigger injectors etc etc but i have a few questions.

i plan to replace the t25 with a gt35r so rather then doing a full turbo back exhaust now, im going to just buy a 3.5" front pipe and 3.5" cat back as i see no point in buying a dump pipe to suit the t25 then buying another pipe to suit the 35r.

so my question is, once i get the bosch 044, FMIC, bigger injectors, cams and everything is it ok to turn the boost up to 12psi until i can afford the gt35r and high mount manifold? will not having a bigger dump pipe cause excess pressure on the turbo or not?

i just cant see the sense in buying some items twice so im trying to do all the supporting mods and then save to buy the gt35r, dump pipe, high mount manifold, waste gate all in one go.

once i get the 35r fitted along with the dump etc i plan to run 18psi until i can afford a forged rebuild.

does this make sense or have i got everything backwards?

cheers

if you are refering to a rb25det, the turbo is a t3

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
