hey all,

wanting more response / power from the 33 and cant decide what would be a better option.

im pretty much leaning toward a ebc ... but would like a few ideas from others.

its pretty much standard apart from exhaust and panel filter , just getting to used to the power.

also have a t04 here i want to use, but dont have the funds to get that installed.

cheers

yes, EBC first.. you will be able to wind the boost up a bit and get a fair bit more power before the stock ECU settings will tend to lean out.

Other option is a cheaper bleed valve ($100 ?) to set your boost a bit higher and then S-AFC to tune up for more power. You could probably get to around 150-160rwkw then before you needed to get a FMIC.

ok so looks like the bleed valve and safc might be the way to go for now :P

any recomendations on which bleed to go for? from what i can see the 2 decent ones are the gfb and the TurboXS HPBC . also if i am to get one of these and install it, do i then need to buy a boost gauge so i can see what its actauuly boosting to.

if so, wouldnt it be cheaper / roughly the same to get an ebc ?

sorry, im dumb!

Hey Shannon

I had the same dilema as you before, whether to purchase a bleed valve or an elect boost controller.

There is heaps of advantages of the ebc over a bleed valve, but due do to money reason I had to settle for the Turbosmart single stage, it allows me to flick from standard boost to high boost from inside the car. The unit cost me about $200 and i have been told you do need an accurate boost gauge when installing one of these. So rougly eveything came to $400 not including installation.

Now when boost is set on high, it comes on more quicker and it sounds MAD!!

The only worry i have with the bleed valve is that I'm scare it will overboost. So now days when i'm pushing it, i tend to be more focused on the boost gauge than on the road haha. I guess that's one of the main disadvantages of a bleed valve compare to a ebc. Alot of them have some sort of safety function for boost spike or overboosting.

I also intalled a A/F ratio meter to check for leaning out. And with boost set at 11psi there seem to be no problem. Still running rich actually. So my next step will be either the SAF-C2 or a piggy back comp.

There are some cheap second ebc on ebay sometime. That might be an option. The cheapest ebc I have seen is properly the profec-B and now GReddy just realease a new model too.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
