Hey ppl,

The other day i installed a hybrid front mount on my 33 looks really good, now i have got a couple of questions:

The piping kit didint come with a nipple which was all good, just taped in a thread and screwed in a nipple and used some exhaust sealant, i did this on the cold side just before the plenum like (the stock one to the stock boost controller) i have since seen ppl with the same intercooler and they've put the nipple on the hot pipe?

Which way is best or correct and should it matter??

Also since installing it ive got the really cool sounding flutter even at low revs, i also blew off a join on the intercooler piping when going to boot it the first time. Ive since retightenend absolute evrything and im guessing that my blow off valve must be too tight since the fmic install causing it to vent back through the pod, thats my guess.

Can anyone also confirm this??

Cheers Rushy

i tapped a nipple in where you did and all everything seems fine...been about 3 months so i dont think it matters or at least it didnt with mine. I have no idea with regards to second question.

So yours didnt flutter when you changed from stcok to the hybrid?

Has anyone else changed to a hybrid?

according to alot of EBC's they want it on the hot pipe.. for the compressed air side of things

I thought a boost reading closer to the intake would be better but im only learning. Do u know why mate, and if it will make any difference?

At a guess (im a noob too) they'd want it on the hot side as once its gone thru the FMIC, it will be cold, therefore more dence, once again therefore taking up less room in the IC pipes? :shrugs: Just a guess.. kinda makes sence to me at the moment.. :P

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
