DREMEN: you wont need to worry about injectors and fuel system until you start running bigger turbos etc.

If you havent already done the front section of your exhaust ie the dump pipe, front pipe and cat then do that first.

Following that a Power FC will give you a substancial increase.

After that you start looking at rebuilding/replacing your turbo, which will then present the need for bigger injectors etc in your quest for more horsepower.

* Full exhaust (if it isn't already), this'll give you better midrange response and an increase of around 7-10rwkw

* Exhaust side Cam Gear

* Good Tyres (no point having heaps of power if you can't put it to the ground)

* How many km's has it done? If its more than 70,000 throw a new clutch in it, you'll be suprised at the difference

Forget about a bigger turbo and aftermarket ecu for now, theirs still more to beat out of your standish setup before you look for the easy way out. Besides once you start throwing on a bigger turbo you often forget about the tiny little things that can make a difference.

OK its done over 70, 000km's so I would be looking at new clutch

I will run 12 psi through it (We will increase it on the dyno to check for detonation)

High flow cat - I don't want to remove the standard because I just got ripped hard by the EPA 2 weeks ago :D

Dump pipe...

Cobra exhuast do a high flow cat & dump pipe for $700ish

What about an apexi AVCR?

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.
