R33 First Mods!

[seraphyn_r33]

Hey all,

Long time member, very short term owner!! Just bought a 95 r33 GTST with just a Apexi 3 inch full exhaust and a blitz FMIC.

My question being, what kind of mods should i go for first to get the most bang for my buck?? i want to follow these criteria:

Reliability - This is my daily driver so i want to make sure i can rely on it everyday (MOST IMPORTANT) I dont really want to dial the boost up too much if at all (solely for the sake of reliability)

Cost Effectiveness - I dont have bags of Deniros so im trying to find the best mods for the best prices.

Kamikazekid (justin) has been helping me a lot, so ive got a fair idea, but id like to get a few other peoples opinions Thanks!!

First mod im thinking of is a K&N panel filter, then safc. What do you guys reckon??

My goal in the end is 200rwkw, what kind of mods am i looking at to get that kind of power everyday safely??

And finally, what would be the highest amount of boost you could run through a stock r33 turbo safely on a daily basis??

Thanks heaps guys!!!!

pod filter and boost that sucker up

my stock turbo 33 ran 12pis for over a year, and now sits on around 10 (0.7 bar) with no troubles at all

I would recommend

- highflow panel filter (K&N or Apexi) $70

- EBC - Greddy Profec B $400 approx

- SAFC/ E-manage or preferrable 2nd hand Power FC (if you can find one) - $250-1000

- possibly fuel pump (Walbro/Bosch 040/Nismo/Denso?Tomei etc) $160-$400 - you don't want the stock one to fail and lean at higher revs which could cause engine failure

From there I would look at suspension, wheels and tyres so that your car will handle better to take advantage of extra power.

Depending on how you drive it, you may want to start saving for a HD clutch also.

Otherwise good luck and enjoy your ride - they are great cars!

well with RB25's its not so hard to get 200rwkw on 10 or 11 psi......all you need is:

* Full exhaust system - i mean dump pipe, highflow cat and all

* Front Mount Intercooler - which i think you already have

* K&N high flow air filter

* If you still have factory ECU - get it well tuned out

* Z32 Air Flow Meter - these are easier to tune with and are straight bolt ons

and my friend your looking to make 200+rwkw.......stock turbos can handle 14 psi (1 bar) but not recommended for daily use.....maybe a just for a little bit of thrashing once in a while
