I agree 105%.

Similar to the story of my small mods trying to max out my stock ECU + Turbo rather then just taking the easy step of whacking on a bigger turbo.

Maximise what you currently have until you can't get anything more out of it, -then- start modding.

/QUOTE] i was looking at the 200 mark, i would be happy with that,i have a dual stage turbo controller,so most of the time i run around at low boost!!!!!

TufR33,

Sorry for not answering the original q's. I get on my soap box a bit :(

A hiflow would be good, a modest sized intercooler upgrade (same flow as turbo spec). Fuel pump, reg and s-afc.

Nigasnt,

Ask yourself this (re: driverskill) : " how hard is it to drive in a straight line?". Not hard is it. :(

Don't go to a track day till you can or there will be trouble! :D

TUFR33, think you will have trouble getting there with a stock coola. Turbo should be OK, as several people have had over 200rwkw with the stocky.

You should be just ok with the fuel system if it is healthy to begin with, but will be at its limits.

You most probably will need some sort of management, unless you have one of these freakish series II ECUs, but time will tell.

I have just over 200 on a dyno dynamics dyno (tilbrooks), with power fc, EBC, pod (with partition and CAI), full exhaust - heat wrapped dump, FMIC, Z32 afm and 0.85bar boost. My injectors are on their last legs, as I guess my fuel pump will be too.

Hope this gives you some sort of idea - but there is more than one way to skin a cat, (or should the experession be updated to gut a cat...:( ) and there will always be slight differences car to car.

Lastly, you will have to get a new clutch - best do this one early as it is a bit disappointing (personal experience:p ) when you mod then cant drive it properly, or tune it properly till you upgrade the clutch.

Just my 0.02 hope it helps

If you already have a mines chip, I wouldnt be expecting too much, but a SAFC2 definately wont hurt.

I believe some lads on here have quoted gains in the region of 10-20rwkw+, but I am not sure how much boost or with or without coola etc so I wont try and bullshit you - I really dont know.

Perhaps someone else might be better qualified to answer that one????

i so wanna see u run that time at calder, i dont think u can do it down here in melbourne

ha ha.. you are funny.:D

I would take you up on the challengen but, melborne is a fair way off.

Why don't you think I can do it, after all it's just a drag strip?

Its ON!

In the white corner...with 183rwkw and weighing in at a conservative :) u get the idea

Nothing wrong with a little friendly competition. Once I figure out the perfect launch and add a couple more mods then I will join in the fun. [that's a promise and a threat :)]

It is more fun, calder is good for a time slip etc but not as fun as what he said. I am always ready - u guys have a lot more mods though...but I dont care...

sorry - that was slightly off-topic!

just adding something more on-topic. mine has recorded 182rwkw with stock turbo and cooler ~ oh and just about stock everything else too :)

[only mods are pod filter, 2-3psi increase and cat-back]

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
