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?

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • 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.
