Hey guys I have an r33 it currently has little or no mods..

Pod filter, FMIC, Cat back exhaust and Boost Controller (running 9psi)

anyways on the dyno at dyno dynamics in bayswater it pulled 181.7kw.

Im looking to get around 200kw out of it without going all out on mods.. obviously next I need to get a full exhaust..

What else???

Upgrade your dump/front pipe and cat. Then the easiest way would be to turn the boost up a couple of PSI. Maybe up to 11. I'd imagine you'd be pretty close to 200 then and should only cost ya about $500ish. I'd recommend the JJR split dump/front pipe and JJR hi flow cat. Very good price, check out the JustJap sponsor area of the site.

Can top it off with some aftermarket engine management. Could get something like a SAFC II or Neo and get it tuned up. That'd be the cheapest way.

thanks guys I heard the power effort wasnt too bad for those mods my mate went also he has a similar setup to me except no front mount and boost controller but a full blitz exhaust and split dump and he pulled 175... i know that in shootout mode the power figure is a lil higher that the realistic output but im still rather happy.

im also looking into the new unichip which is soon to be released the one that can be used as a full engine management system or piggy-back with the stock comp.. dynomotive quoted me around 1500 fully installed for that.. although it wont be released for a few months.

not sure of the comparison between that and something like the power fc..

you should up the boost to 12psi. 12psi will be ok on a stock ecu....do this on a dyno though to double check its not pinging etc...200rwkw should be reachable with 12psi :thumbsup:

after this if you want to run more boost, either get your ecu remapped or another standalone ecu and probably tune anywhere to 14-16psi..obviously you would need any supporting mods your car would need to run that amount of boost etc...

pod, full xhaust (dumps, hiflow car, mufflers), udp, ecu, and boosted accordingly should give you some great results...

might wanna add a disclaimer to your advice chad before your advice blows someones turbo/engine up :thumbsup:

go past 10psi and the stock ecu will probably go into rich and retard mode making your car lose power, not gain it. go past 12psi on the stock turbo and you'll probably fry it pretty quickly :P

past 12psi on your stock turbo will fry it??? woahhh not much boost ...wat size turbo is the stock skyline turbo?

mmm i was just at a shop with a tuner talking to another skyline owner giving him tips for more power. sorry if this is not correct

they're ceramic (series 1) and nylon (series 2)...they're not steel wheeled....12psi is the advised max for em and anything more is asking for trouble. some people's last ages on 12psi..some dont last at all. I personally know 2 guys that ran 12 for quite a while before they fried them, and 1 guy that ran 12 for half a dyno run before it let go...luck of the draw

the stock ecu doesn't like boost, so if you go past 10psi its likely to go into rich and retard which will make it slower than stock anyway

also past 12psi generally wont make any more power than it does on 12psi anyway...just create more problems

as for the workshop you were at....doesn't sound like he has any idea what he's talking about :thumbsup:

ahh yes thats the reason why they dont behave well when boost is upped because they are ceramic.

yup when boost is upped if detonation occurs ecu is thrown into safe mode (richer fuel map, timing retard etc)

12psi aint much at all, these turbos loose effieciency after 12psi...ahhh this is why i see so many skylines with huge turbo upgrades...

i wonder why nissan put a ceramic turbo in it...are they all ceramic even up to the r34? or did nissan change this?

good info :thumbsup:

Dont pay 1500 for a unichip get a power fc its a full replacement ecu and a lot better I can tell u that much and its cheaper.

good luck finding a SECOND HAND pfc for the price new 1's went for back in the day.

they sell for anywhere from $1-2k second hand these days :D

yeah i know guys its all just a number just like the skyline is just a car but we dont say that all now do we :thumbsup:

Wayne let me know when your free the exhaust is locked away in the back shed I can bring it any time :woot:

As for the unichip power fc debate.. as I was saying at the end of this year unichip are bringing out a new module onto the market can be used as both a piggy back and full stand alone unit.. so for 1500-2000 inc tuning I reckon it might work out a lil cheaper than then power fc..

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
