Hi Guys

Been browsing and reading for the last couple of months on things to do to my stock R33 and I think I'm nearly finished and prepared to start spending.

I however did want to get some approval on my plans or some negative feedback if I'm heading down the wrong path.

My goals at the present time are around the 280-300rwkw area as i would like to leave the internals alone at the moment.

The parts I've purchased so far are Apexi PFC, Z32 AFM, HKS Type S FMIC and I'm booked in to drop a manual box in in the next couple of weeks.

The other parts that I was looking at and need advice on are:

  • Turbo - 3037 with the external wastegate, I was looking at a .73 A/R as it will be a street driven car and from the information I've read this would be a compromise between peak power and spool up time?? Correct me if I'm wrong with any assumptions i make in this thread >_< . Now the trim i would love someone to give me their choice and reason.
  • Manifold - High mount Extreme Turbo Manifold and I think this includes the single dump??
  • Wastegate - Was looking at the HKS GTII 50mm. Good brand, small in size and looks pretty :D yay, nay?
  • Injectors - Either NISMO or HKS 550cc. I can't see there being a problem in either of those brands?
  • Fuel pump - Tomei kit. Heard these are a treat of a pump and won't fail on me.
  • Boost controller - Apexi AVC-R. Don't think I'll have any objections from this.
  • Splitfire coils
  • Tomei pon cams
  • Exhaust - Need to decide on the manifold before buying this??

If I've forgotten any important part please e-bash me :D

Thank you if you could be bothered reading this... and even bigger thank you for some advice!! :D

I'm surprised you didn't list that you want a front mount intercooler, but you'll need one of these. A JustJap kit should be fine?

Edit: My bad. You did say you've got one ><

nismo injectors are good for your tuner, perhaps consider 740s. talk to the guy you want to tune it.

tomei fuel pump is the easiest possible install and quiet as the stock pump. I just installed one and i'm very happy after having a bosch 040 for a few months.

if you get an apexi avcr, you may as well just get the power fc boost control kit off nengun, they are very similar in performance. i would recomend a blitz unit.

i will leave the rest for everyoine else to fight over >_<

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
