hi folks, have just aquired myself an r33 gtr which has been moderately modified and tuned, running 240awkw or 357kw at engine. i want to achieve 300-350awkw on stock internals.

the main mods so far-its running 19psi on stock turbos with steel wheels, big apexi fmic (125mm thick i think), power fc, stock fuel system, stock afm, big cold air intake with k/n filter, cam timing has been adjusted and a bunch of other supporting stuff like blasted intake manifold, oil cooler and catch cans etc etc...

it goes nicely but of course want more... from the tuners report/comments he says he has taken the engine to a point where the air flow meters and injectors are a problem if you wish to go for bigger turbos.

so, i want to get a pair of gt2860r or similar, turbos :D and want to make sure i have the other supporting stuff covered. the main question i have is about the airflow meters and what to do here? whats the problem with these and how best to overcome?

how many hp will the stock r33 gtr fuel pump handle and what size injectors should i go for keeping in mind my power goals?

do i need anything else apart from a tune once the above is completed?

cheers...

it's a simple (but expensive) step up from here as you are at (or near) the limit of a number of things. I would get the following:

a set of mild cams around 260degree 9.15mm lift

700cc injectors

nismo fuel pump

nismo or Z32 (VG30) air flow meters

some turbos. either R34 N1s, or HKS GT-SS or HKS GT2530 would be my pic, but the generic garret equivelant seems to be good too.

also upgrade the front part of your exhaust if not done already

that should see you somewhere between 300 and 340 wheel kw.

ah yes, the exhaust has been done already, turbo back 3.5inch...

so the z32 are best replacement for the stock afm`s? there is 2 of them remember? i have been doing some more reading and it seems that the voltage is the problem??? or is it the diameter???

was gonna hold off on the cams, thought id get there without em? will i really need em to go over 300awkw?

one other thing, i think the tune is very rich as i get alot of soot on the back of the car from the exhaust? is this normal? i know its safer, but can you still have a safe tune without the soot?

the problem with the afms is the calibration. not so much the physicaly size (unless you are running very big turbos, with a bit inlet).

yes I'm aware there is 2 afms. you need to reaplace your 2, with 2 new ones. personally I would chose the nismos as they are a Z32 sensor in an RB25 body which means they fit straight into your existing set-up. Z32s have a larger body so require some effort to fit them.

    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
