Hi,

I have GTS-t r33, I am thinking of getting HDI electronic boost controller, and getting it boosted up to 10psi.

Because the ceramic turbo cant handle very high boost I prob wont set it higher.

I have been told though by a mechanic that increasing any boost I have to increase the amount of fuel going into the car.

He told me if I dont car might detonate and the injectors will fry?

Is this true?

I have 3'' exhaust turbo back pod filter atm.

Also Can I increase the amount of fuel with a fuel pressure regulator?

If so why would I bother getting after market computer?

increasing the fuel isnt necessary in the skylines on the stock computer, the computer will allow for this. the more air being passed through (+ boost) the more air the afm will read -> the more fuel the computer will add. you wont need to worry about any kind of engine management if you're only running 10psi on the stock turbo. if you want more power/economy thats when you'll be wanting to fit one.

what you'll actually come to realise is that you'll actually be needing to take fuel AWAY from the mix :huh:

so whats the difference between FPR and after market ECU?

fpr lets you increase the fuel pressure in the fuel system, which will allow you to scrape a few extra kw out of your standard injectors but will be running them at over 100% of their capacity which is a bit dangerous.

ecu will let you control things like amount of fuel in the injector pulse and timing. it doesnt only do fuel mix and it does not control fuel pressure.

hey thanks

Igot 1 more question?

you think I should bother with electronic boost controller?

or just get manual boost controller if Im going to run only 10psi?

if you're planning to run over 10psi in the future i'd recommend getting an ebc if you can afford it. but then again, im running 14psi on an mbc.

if you were going to get a manual boost controller i'd only go for a turbotech boost controller. probably the most reliable mbc ive ever seen.

Just get a manual one and leave it on 10psi. ^^^^^^^^

Its your right foot that controls the boost.

but you're getting more airflow at WOT, and you cant control boost with your foot to the floor.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
