IMO realistically a street gtst doesn't need forgies, 300rwkw in a well setup road car is very quick, and if well set up/tuned should last. What power are you after? Just set yourself to a realistic number and buy the smallest turbo that will do it, average power(torque)is what wins on the street.

this is an nz car running 0.83 gt3540r

HERE I AMMMMMMMMMMMMM JJJJJJ

Mate if you use the RIGHT OIL, Correct Ignition System,VERY LARGE INTERCOOLER and a Great tune you`ll have it last a while

I had my STANDARD MOTOR make total 591 rwhp with nitrous and run a 10.8 on pump fuel with a manual.

Without nitrous it made 502 rwhp but on average 490

it lasted me almost 10 months OF KILLING IT

and if you can kill your r33 more then me good luck to you.

i mean 8000rpm rev limiter burnouts flat shifting trying to blow it up and it never happened till i used nitrous and 24 psi of boost.

Anyways its up to your mechanic what he trusts and not

but all i gotta say is dont under estimate the rb25

Look up

MAX HP OUT OF STANDARD RB25

10 months and what happened? pop went the weasel...

AND you had another FORGED motor being built on the side.

Full credit to your efforts, but not one other person has done it.

Everyone else has had problems here, problems there of varying degrees

GTNWET - Whats the use of the car/how much power do you want?

Thats really the questions to need to answer then you can go from there as to wether a stock internalled motor will last or not.

a couple things also

1)i had a Forged motor being built Yes but that motor in my car WAS STANDARD

2) maybe i am the only SKILLED RB25 owner to do it and run a 10 off a standard motor

3)everyone has problems due to the APEXI POWER Fc junk they use

4) use oil for AUSTRALIA MOTOR CONDITIONS

5) All the intercoolers people use are off ebay not custom thick ones eg 600x300x128

6)Not being cocky but i Tried new things in tuning on my car and it worked.Maybe if some tuners and mechanics spent time at Tuning skools they would make the same power instead of following what other people do

I have alot of r33s making big hp and never have a problem cause i have done the research on my own car and learnt what works and what doesnt. I havent followed what people say and do

My advice is to try new things

if you think it will work research it and trial it

Peoples motors have died because they used a PowerFC?

>_<

welllllll

they are RUBBISHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

for the bin

for the tip ECUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Any one thats tried what i have has failed due to that ECUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Try with a MAP sensor ECU such as Microtech,Hydra,Haltech,Motec ETCCCCCCCCCCC

Air Flow Meter is more Headache then what its worth

Toyota is smart on there Performance Sport cars they use map sensors

Nissan went backwards with AFMS on theres

lmao.

MR331307,

Sorry to burst your bubble but the highest power out of a std motor WITH STD INJECTORS hehe is 533rwhp on Pump fuel. :)

Yes it went pop eventually. >_<

Man not bad!!!

How long till it went pop?

I knew youd pop in jason lol

welllllll

they are RUBBISHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Thats funny, because you seem to be the only person on this forum who thinks this.

    • 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).
