why no forced induction over its life?

Even though I’m way bored of it, and it owes me a fortune, if it were not to sell, which we all know it more then likely wont, I’ll throw a Vortech onto it.

I can charge it for around $5k, and @ 15psi it’s a 450hp+ car. The auto’s been built, so that won’t be braking anytime soon.

Then again, the parts to make a 1uzfe a manual these days aren’t all that expensive anymore.

All pipe dream talk really, at the end of the day I want another turbo performance car anyway.

Thanks Mushy, someone I know has already had a chat to them, and they built “LEX S” a few years back. Bang for buck, I'm not happy with the power their setups make, although it is still an option if I can huggle them pn price/

Not really after a “blower” set up on top of the motor though, I prefer the vortech/pro-charger supercharger set up's

If anyone has Vortech hook ups yall know were to find me

Your car has now been resprayed has it not? I'm sure I drove past it on Caloundra Rd on Monday (parked outside bike shop)... I thought it looked in pretty good shape when I glimpsed it...

I think it was a dark blue or greeny colour - can't be too sure tho, as I was just coming off the roundabout (just before the bike shop) at speed... :)

It definitely had plates similar to LXUSS though, and had some decent sized chromies - that's why I thought it was you.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Only if you do not You will not be able to drive it with any serious load without risk of it pinging, which will either slowly or rapidly kill it, depending on how bad it is.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By 677_GTR · Posted

      Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.
