Hey all,

I posted a topic on here a while ago asking advice on what kind of mods i should get for my r33. My car already has an Apex 3 inch exhaust, blitz FMIC and high pressure fuel pump. After a lot of deliberation, ive come to this list, written in order.

1. K & N panel filter

2. Apexi Powerfc (with or without Handset?? advice??)

3. Bigger Injectors (im guessing around the 500cc mark?? or 740cc?? advice again??)

4. Then from that, id say camshafts??

5. Bigger Turbo

Im aiming at around 200 rwkw (at least) on stock internals. This car is also going to be a daily driver so i dont really want to dial up the boost much if at all. I basically want to get as much power as i can safely out of the stock internals.

Is there anything i have missed out in this list?? And finally, how much would this list cost me roughly all up?? including a proper tune and labour to install etc???

I know these are pretty novice questions, but any help would be much appreciated!!!

1. Filter not too expensive about $80 i think

2. Power FC. If you can find one, buy it. They are around $1K

3. Bigger injectors are good, 550cc would be the mark. You wouldn't have to go to 740 for 200kw. Not sure on price

4. Cam shafts, good idea, pretty expensive tho

5. Again, expensive. Look at some high flowed turbos. Slide has some (trader on sau)

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
