Hey,

i have had my car for bout 3 weeks and its a

Nissan Skyline R33 GTST series 2

Manual

101,000 kms

The mods so far and that i got wid the car is as follows -

3" stainless steel turbo back exhaust

600x300x75 FMIC

Apexi Power FC

Apexi Commander

Apexi EBC

K&N pod filter in stainless steel cold air box

Bosch 040 fuel pump (in tank and quiet)

Larger radiator (34mm thick v factory 25mm thick)

Stainless steel radiator guide

Strut braces front and rear

Autometer boost and oil temp on A pillar

Dyno at 204.5kw

Now my goal is for 250kw at the rear wheels, mayb a little more but no less. And its a daily driver. and i dont want much lag either....

What is the best way to do it given the mods that the car already has?

Any idea of the cost also?

Any help would be great.

Thanks

You need to do some reading up on the different turbos available to you. 3 weeks ownership is not long enough to understand all you need to make an informed decision.

Check out the RB25 turbo upgrade thread at the top of the forced induction section for ideas.

  • 3 weeks later...

a lot of people get really hung up on turbo choice. One guy says this turbo and another says to use his favourite brand. Learn how to read a compressor map and go crunch some numbers. That will quickly point u in the right direction. From there you can make a wise and educated choice. Once you are in the right area, it WILL save you heaps, and not wast cash. I've been there done that!! I've a very similar set-up ATM and i'm very happy with my GT3040R. slight lag and solid top end power.. Hope it helps.

I'm aiming for the same target. 250.

I've bought but not installed the following :

Z32 with a Tomei plug - New from someone offloading - $250

Mixed 2nd hand and new 480cc S15 injectors - $500 (but have 2 extra)

2nd hand HKS 2535 - $1200.

These plus a retune ($$ ??) should get me there.

PS. There's a Highflow GCG for sale right now in parts section.

That would do the trick.

R31Nismoid - A New diff ! Oh crap! :)

I believe Bass Junky (before cams) didnt have too bad of a setup.

Bit of time ago now... he would know :cheers:

He put the cams in before the highflow. Also that is the R34 highflow, not the R33 one. I think there is about 15rwkw difference between the 2.

At 250rwkw you aren't going to win any dyno competitions?

Thats all that peak figure means. It's a peak power figure rather pointless except to determine necessary limits of fuel flow etc.. Why you want that figure is more important.

Ask a different set of questions like..

* What do you want to do with the car from a performance perspective?

* Are you trying to achieve any kind of real performance benchmarks? (like a 1/4 mile time or lap time).

A bit off topic but i was under the impression that the diff was a fairly hardy unit and could take more power than 250kw before it goes bang

I was thinking the same thing. has anyone on the forum had troubles with their diff going around this power level?

    • 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  
    • 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
    • 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.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
