Hey Guys,

I have an R33 that is pretty stock, catback exhause (i think its about 3.5'' with 4.5'' tip) and a HKS air filter is all that is done to it. I wanted to get a bit more power out of it and was wonder what are the 1st steps usually to an R33 to get the ball rolling?

I was thinking Boost Controller & Intercooler would be my 1st steps - but if you have another opinion where i can better spend my money to get better results i would love to hear them.

Cheers!

:happy:

Your first steps should be front/dump pipe ($250-300), hi-flow cat ($150-200).

Then get a boost controller (so you don't overboost), FMIC and then look at a computer.

all depends on how much u want to spend?

cheap way= full exhaust, apexi afc neo, ebc,cooler and 13 psi should get u some healthy figures.

if u want to spend more get a bigger turbo, injectors, fuel pump, aftermarket ecu run 16+ psi

I would definately look at getting a split dump / front pipe (split single piece) made up and a hiflow cat. it'll free up alot of option for future modding.

Then look at intercooler and maybe a power fc. Depending on how far you want to push it, but I would leave it at that. After this point factory parts start to fall short and break and lots of things need to be upgraded to make more power.

You'll be looking at some serious cash, new injectors, fuel rails, fuel pump, new AFMS, forged internals... blah blah blah..

Just depends on how deep your pocket are :happy:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
