Hey All,

I have recently finished slapping on some bolt on mods to my r33 gtst series 1. Unfortunatly i have run out of cash and get get it to a tunner for about a month.

As its my daily driver i researched the forums about settings i would need to change on the powerfc to support the new mods. After a lot of fooling around i have found a good 'safe' tune for now, no pinging and car seems to be running damn well surprisingly.

The car is rev limited to 5500 and doesnt knocked over 13. hit 90 od knock when testing so i limiter was a good move

upgrades:

KKR480 turbo

Nismo 555cc Injectors

2.5" turbo back, catback dual 2" exhaust (3-3.5" turboback very soon)

Power FC

FMIC

Q45 AFM

Spitfire Coil Packs

Blitz-icolor

What other damages may i cause driving it around untunned even though it isnt pinging?

dont suppose you have any idea of the A/F ratio? as long as its not running too lean and not knocking, you wont be doing any damage. might need to get some new plugs before you go to the tuner though, if its a bit rich (tune it yourself a bit rich to be safe) it will foul up the plugs a bit, but nothing i can see to be real worried about

It would be a good idea to run a compression test b4 you tune it;l be an indicator how healthy your engine is . if comp is low you may consider a low boost tune to keep it safe in the short term.

lol yeah sorry, shoulda mentioned that, thought it was kinda a given

edit - obvious to run low boost, never thought/personally wouldnt bother with comp test

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
