These are the specs:

R32 RB20DET 82000Kms

Stock Internals

Stock Turbo

3"Turbo back exhaust/Screamer

POD

EBC runing 12 psi

FMIC

It did 170rwkw @ 1.1 bar at Boostworx

Is it woth getting a remap? what would the benefits be on my setup?.

I am planning to get a turbo in the near future along with injectors

and a fuel pump, but untill then...

Any comment would be appreciated

Cheers

it really depends on how the car is running at the moment, and how long till you are doing the upgrades. if they are only a month or 2 away, just wait till they go on to do the remap. also if the afr's aren't too bad then a remap won't gain you as much power as if it was rich as hell.

Well Dr Drift is coming to adelaide tomorrow he said I can remap it tomorrow and then when he comes back in a months time he would remap it again to suit the extra mods, and all I have to pay would be the Dyno time.

oh, and btw, i love your idea of "almost stock".. ha ha.. you've got to be kidding right?

Well, if you think about it is quite stock, nothing major done to it just the usual mods :ermm:

Cheers

no mate..

99.% of the cars on the road have "the usual mods" - whic is NOTHING

stock = out of the factory

when you are making 50% more power than a stock car and are running at almost twice the standard boost level, you have well passed the meaning of "pretty stock" buddy. plus you are running a screamer which is illegal. stock cars are legal.

Very worth it...you get better fuel economy, more torque, more power and the peace of mind that its not leaning out...i've got the same mods and i got sam aka to remap it too...best bang for buck imo...

I wouldn't run the stock ceramic turbo at 1.1 bar though for obvious reasons though...

Thanks guys, some say do it some say wait uhmmm.

Hey limpus how many kw did you gain with just the remap and the mods you had?

oh btw the 1.1 bar was a one off for the dyno, however I am very tempted to run that on a daily basis. :rofl:

Dr Drift charges $330 for the remap and $180 per hour of dyno time to fine tune!

I had it done to mine and gained around 3rwkw BUT it was detonating it's head off! It did however gain 20kw throughout the rev range, I had speed cut removed, rev limiter lifted a little and it was a completly different car to drive.

If you live near your tuner, it is good thing to get done, if you don't and plan on doing future mods then you should really consider your options!

I live in Tas and had it done during a Dr Drift visit. I am looking at getting it done again after I install my AFM and injectors and luckily he plans to come back down. would be a different story if I had to venture up to melb!

Make your own mind up!

Peak power increased by about 10-15rwkw...but more power across the entire rev range...its all about the area under the curve...btw...i'd recommend getting a fuel pump asap...not for power but more as a support mod...you definitely don't want the car leaning out...even if you're running only 12psi...

10-15kw is not too bad, I suppose I was expecting less than that, but I decided that I am going to wait until DrDrift next visit next month, to do everything at the same time, and yes I will definatelly be buying a fuel pump asap,

Funny thing is that even at 1.1bar made 170kw and the AFR were fine, so at only 12 psi i should be fine.

Cheers

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
