hi guys, u may think this is a noob question, but i have hit the power wall. i would like to get some more power out of my r33 gtst. atm it has an upgraded t4 turbo, ssq bov, 720cc injectors (dont ask, dont know why they work), Bilstein heavy duty suspension, front and rear strut bars, nitrided crank, fmic, 3" exhaust and im probably forgetting something.

the turbo will soon be upgraded, a screamer pipe, safc and a tune/remap are on the way. i am also thinking about a z32 afm.

i would like to know from your experience and expertise, whether there are any good mods i can do with a budget, to gain more power, atm the clutch can handle 420kw.

i am probably pushing 190-220kw, which is just a guess atm, will know more after dyno.

furthermore i am thinking of investing in its support systems later on

any and every piece of advice is appreciated thanks.

How are you running 720cc injectors without management?

You dont have management listed as a current mod, only a future one... so 720's = impossible :)

And i also dont get a nitrided crank either!

For basic mods, see here:

For more results, so you can relate that to parts

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=55845

And a couple others

There are but a small few of the good threads you can find :)

Also setting a budget for everything helps to get more accurate responses

cheers all the mods bar the fmic and strut braces have been done by previous owner. ive only had car since january.

i will definitely check out ur links, budget is about $3000

You could have made 200rw will stock turbo and stock injectors - sounds like what you need is a power fc or somesort of full engine managment to get what you have running properly and efficiently.

thanks heaps, the responses i have been getting is to invest in electronic support systems.

i will definitely have a look around.

no, its a 5sp manual

thx

Yeh definatelly get an ecu and if you can the power fc is probably your best bet - hard to find nowadays though. That way you can tune it and make the most of your bigger turbo and injectors - should have nice power then. :)

Stock turbo

3" turbo back exhaust

Intercooler

Fuel pump (eg: bosch 040)

and something like 12psi should get you anything between 190rwkw-210rwkw depending.

It wouldn't hurt to get an SAFC II, fuel only computer, to keep the fuel at a safe level and AFR down to a safe level.

With a tune on the dyno you can push over 200rwkw+ on stanard ECU running the above + SAFCII.

But depends how much you want to spend. Since you already have a T04, get a fuel pump, and an after market ECU and get it tuned. You will make some good power.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,

Abu

definitely thanks. thats perfect i want to have about 250kw if possible, and maybe more, just to beat a few mates.

at least on this forum i can listen to people that have done it before, some engineers i have questioned dont know shit about imports.

once again thanks, i will look around for a better ecu/ power fc and a fuel pump.

I still dont understand how you have 720cc injectors with a stock ECU

theres alot you may not understand, but it works and thats all i care about, that is one of the reasons i purchased this particular car.

all those extras with no ecu upgrade.....

you should be upgrading ecu if u go down the bigger turbo/bigger injectors road.....

yea, ive been thinking about it for a while, im just waiting for a good unit to come onto the market.

I know enough to know 720cc + stock ECU = no chance

:laughing-smiley-014:

Yeh doesn't make much sense, any sense really, even with a simple fuel computer they would flow way too much and the ammount of correction applied would be astronomical. Perhaps either they are not 720cc or it has some crazy re-mapped jap ecu that he is not aware of...

hey guys, just throwing it out there,

does anynone know a ball park figure for a full tune?

any suggestions would be helpful

Depends what your tuning...

safc around 150 -200

Power fc around 400 - 500 perhaps, each car / ecu is different.

I'm contemplating a power fc or if i can't find one maybe I'll go with emanage ultimate. :) safc has gotten me to 195rw so far so its doing an alright job on a reasonably safe tune i.e between 11.5 and 12 afr. :)

safc around 150 -200

k sweet, i'll tell a few mates, also-im talking too much

but when i get all these mods done, will it be safe to drive around for 1-2 wks untuned. until it is tuned?

cheers

    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU? 
    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.
