Just want some advice on what i should do for my first engine upgrade on a 1996 R33 gts-t. i was thinking for now purchasing an intercooler and getting it installed. Dont want something too expensive or too cheap, just want something good for now, what brands does anyone recomend. is there something i should do as well or should that be it for now, cheers.

well everything except catback and smic is actually gonna go on at once, after i find a good boost guage and the labour cash

Get your exhaust and intake system sorted first.

A larger intercooler and larger diameter piping will result in a drop in response on a stock car.

Bring up the boost a little then think about an intercooler.

Not really needed though for anything under 180-190rwkw.

well i got a 33 as well but i done these mods and i was pulling out on stock boost without the front mount about 180 rwkw....so my advice is to do this:

* full turbo back exhaust system

* a high flowing pod or pannel filter

* clutch if its manual and you do give it a bit

* splitfire coilpacks

* trust/greddy front mount intercooler theses days sell for around $600-$700 with piping

i got a few more mods planned but not as of yet

im in the process of exactly that atm :wave: just not in that order.

DONT FORGET THE DUMP PIPE. www.gktech.com.au has dump pipes for 100$, and fronts with flex pipe for a similar price.

get a hybrid kit for r33. about $650 or so from traders on these forums. Good quality cooler, without the price tag of some of the jap ones. Trust kits are good also and not that expensive. I personally think that a r34 cooler is a bit of a waste of time to be honest. Just do i right from the start and it will give you plenty of head room later on. HPI had an article on modding a 33 gtst including the cooler upgrades, was a couple of issues back. worth looking at.

Thanks guys, the advice was really helpfull

cheers

Unless you are planning on upgrading the factory turbo, I would recommend against a front mount. I made the mistake before, it's not necessary on the stock turbo and you will notice a definate loss in response from the factory setup.

As suggested, an r34 side mount is the way to go.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
