I bought a R33 GTS-T in october and havent done anything to it, it came with wheels which is about it, but everything else is clean.

I'm only going to start of small and gradually get bigger things like an exhaust system etc...

Looking at first getting a BOV, probably the GREDDY TYPE RS.

What you think? any other BOV's people recommened and also any other upgrades which is should gradually get to in the upcoming months?

Cheers.

BOV's arent really an upgrade iirc. not unless you are making biggish power. your stocko will do.

do your engine breathing mods. biggest gains/dollar i think. i mean get a full exhaust, highflow cat, air intake, cai. then other shit which i dont know much bout as yet. going thru the same process as u atm.

seroiously get an exhaust, even if that blows ur budget u will have improved ur performance by a decent amount. i put on an exhaust from dead stock and it went from 144rwkw to 169. i got a twin dump pipe, 3" system with high flow cat....cost me 1350 with dyno before and after.....opened her right up...got me to a 13.4 down the qtr mile.....

Forget BOVs... unles you want to start getting problems with ur car runnign rich (poor economy) and an occasional stall.

get a turbo back exhaust. I just got Just Japs JJR high flow turbo back and it kicks ass... not too loud and you can really see the improvement in the top end revs.

First thing would defiently be an exhaust and pod if you like,

then a FMIC! =]

You can get some cheap kits these days.

Don't block your bov off, the standard turbo won't last long at all.

If you do boost your car, be careful because as i said! The standard

turbo doesn't really last too long hehe.

First time i boosted mine it popped :blink:

Thennnn if you have spare money get your standard turbo highflowed :action-smiley-069:

Yea nothing wrong with a nice BOV if u want it to sound a bit defferent I would go with the HKS super-seqential really good high pitched noise.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
