Well i service my car every 5000km with Royal Purple 10W40 and ALWAYS warm up my car before i drive and ALWAYS cool it of for 3 min before i turn it off.. so these precautions should maximise turbo life...

I want to stick to BB highflow cause of quality, longer life as well as proven earlier spool which is what makes it more streetable...

im still waiting on Trooper to PM me the specs and price for this new bolt-on Turbo from Garrett...

One more thing guys, you think its work upgrading the stock manifold and cams?? how much increase would they give with a decent high flow?

Cheers

your manifold is fine tho you may get fast spool with a

stainless tuned length job but for the outlay of a good

quality not really worth it i think , looks pretty for a little

while tho, and cams you could get some tomei's good idea

if planing around 260rwkw up ,will give you better response, but being a

hightflow and BB wont be very laggy ,but you will have good mid

to top with cams, you can alsways do cams later idown the track anyway.

thats my 50c. :(

Cheers

Yea thats my exact thought too.. can do the cams later on if needed... my list goes as the following:

- Highflow BB turbo/Garret bolt-on

- Apexi PFC + Tune

- Eboost 2 (or any decent EBC)

- Z32 AFM

- SARD 600cc Injectors

- Tomei Fuel Pump (was considering Walbro 255lt/h)

- Just jap FMIC Kit (painted black)

Anything that im missing?

Cheers

on a related note, would it be safe pushing the stock internals around 260 - 280rw/kw?

Please comment on the parts i have listed above if you guys recommend anything else...

Cheers

many people have made more than 260rwks with the mods u have indicated without having to change internals. When u approach the 300rwks mark, then ud def need to strengthen ur bottom end, ie pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft.

Hey,

I pretty much have these exact mods except 555cc injectors and profec BII and GCG hiflow. was having pinging problems dude to bad fuel, i had to add octane booster to compensate.

Be good to compare though, even though different car blah blah blah.

Think i saw you yesterday going down cowpasture road.. i was in the white R33.

Currently have bout 180rw/kw and aiming for 250+rw/kw

Hahaha yea that was me... were you in the White R32 heading toward cecil hills? hehehe should organise a cruse or just a friendly meet...

Ahhh yes i remember... hehehe was hoping you would give it a squirt to give you a run... ur car seemed stock lol... wat sort of power figures you got at the wheels? and who did your work for you??

Cheers

yeah i like keeping my car looking stock.. catch a few unsuspecting foes. Plus if i get owned hard, i can say yeah my car is stock.. hahaha i would have given it abit but being double demerits and all i had to restrain myself.

Tuned by Unigroup Engineering, 240rwkw on 16psi. gonna take it back when i get some good fuel in there hopefully i can get abit more power.

thanks man, nah my knock sensor would have been flashing at me.. so you would have beaten me.. hhaha. It runs fine when i put V-power racing in it.. but when i put BP ultimate it pings badly.. i drove up to the shell there to get VPR but they were out of stock so i went back to BP to get ultimate, when i pulled out, that's when you saw me.

Gave it a hit on the way home and the light was flashing.. it was tuned on BP ultimate as well.

haven't taken it to wsid yet.. wanna sort out this pinging problem first.

Damn those British and their Petrol :D I always use V-Racing or Vortex... my car seems to dislike Ultimate too

Well ill be getting Adam at JEM to tune my car and i have seen some ANIMAL R33's step off his dyno... so i cant wait to do it all...

Cheers

good luck man, i heard JEM do great things..

Definately keep me up to date with how you go.

Oh i had to get new coilpacks as well as i couldn't boost past 10psi before without misfiring... There's always something!! but the car made 220rwkw on 10psi.. now no misfire but damn fuel problems!!

Definately hook up for cruise.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
