Guest R33 GTR V-SPEC

Hi guys,

I recently got an R33 GTR Vspec and im planning to modify it with the following:

1. 3.5" turbo back exhaust

2. Pod filters with carbon fibre heat shield

3. Apexi power fc

4. Apexi boost con @ 15psi

5. Larger intercooler.

With these mods does anyone have an idea of what power id be making @ the engine and approx what 1/4 mile time it would run?

Hi R33 GTR V-SPEC, The other guys have covered the power and 1/4 time pretty well. My suggestion would be don't change the intercooler, the standard R33 GTR intercooler is good up to 300 rwkw. With your plans you won't be anywhere near that. So keep the response up and stick with the standard intercooler.

The only weakness at your target performance level will be the clutch. Heavy, big power and 4wd puts a lot of load on the clutch. Standard clutch won't last very many launches. We use OS Giken twin plates for your sort of power level.

Hope that helps.

Similar to what I'm going for, with that setup you should be pumping out around 240-250 rwkws, 330kw+ @ flywheel. I agree with sydneykid, don't change cooler, better spend that money on a twin plate clutch, standard one won't last with that sort of power and hard launches.

I'm going for nismo twin plate, from what I've heard they're not harsh on the left leg.

Also expect a mid to low 12 with that sort of power on the 1/4.

Hope that gives you a fair idea.

Cheers

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
