Hey Guys,

I'll start off with Happy New Year! Everyone still recovering???

OK - so back to business... i've had my R33 S1 (but looks like an S2 so i guess its a 1.5 as some people here call it), for 1 year next month and have just started with the mods. So far i have a HKS spoung air filter with no box, Blitz BOV, 3'' turbo back exhaust system with high flow cat & FMIC. After this work was finished it got put on the Dyno and made 225rwkw - i dont have the sheet, he just called me when he did it and i fell off my chair at work when i heard it - does this sound right or should i get it done again or should i just take the results and run with it?

Anyways, so the next things i want done are: Electronic Boost Controller, Cool direct air intake for the air filter, PFC or some sort of aftermarket ECU, Z32 AFM. Once all that is done i suppose i would then need to change the clutch, fuel pump, maybe injectors?

I have read a lot of threads about doing up R33's and they are all from 2003/2004, so what i am asking is if anyone from experience thinks there is a certain order of which i should be doing the rest of my mods or if i have missed something that i need once i add a new part...?

I'm hoping to acheive over 300rwkw. Then i'll come show off with you guys at Dyno days other events... i'm yet to make my debut... lol :(

Thanks everyone!!!!

Sammy.

sounds like a happy dyno. No way will a stock ecu make that much power. it is possible the ecu has been chipped in japan tho so could be worth while checking that out also.

Basically the minute you raise the boost with stock ecu you hit Rich and Retard which prevents you from making any real power at all.

to make 300 rwkw (your going to need stronger internals if you want it to last at this and over) you'll need

PFC

Bigger injectors

Bigger Fuel pump

Bigger turbo - 3076R with .83 housing comes to mind

z32 afm

and a good tune.

of course you'll need other support systems like clutch, fmic and turbo back exhaust...

There's not a chance you're on 225rwkw with those mods. Get it tuned somewhere where they know what there doing.

either they have no idea how to use a dyno or they are just trying to bullshit you.

i dont see why they would be trying to bullshit me... lol - who would do that?

i'll get it put on the dyno again to make sure - but that isnt why i wrote this thread, this is more to be focussed on the mods rather than the dyno results...

any other opinions on the mods guys? I jus want to make sure i do things in the right order because i dont want to add something then fark something else up along the way...

as the others have said 225rwkw is too high

190 to 200rwkw is about spot on

check what gear it was done in on the dyno sheet

might have been 3rd gear

or different diff gears in the back prehaps?

what rpm do you 100km/h at in 5th gear?

Guys!!!! lol - your all missing the point! hahaha - i will clarify the dyno results when i re-dyno next month...

i want to know what next - i need help to know which mods go after what i already have (FMIC, turbo back exhaust, air filter (no box), BOV)... in my 1st post i have listed some things that i think should go next but i dont know which order is the smartest way to go about it... please help with this???

do a search you will find everything you need

i did a search as i mention in my first post and i found a lot of good information but old information, i was just asking what people thought in their own opinion from experience what they found to be the smartest way to mod - what things to do 1st... i have already done the first stage of mods, its just the next step where one mod starts affecting other parts more heavily so i want to go about it the right way...

so if anyone is willing to help me with this, please do! lol

First, make sure it STOPS. Then make sure it HANDLES. Then make it go fast.

*well it has brakes... 60% / 50% - do you mean get like vented disks or whateva?

*handling is aweome!! no problems there... came with aftermarket apexi suspension

*now im trying to work on the power

:(

well thats just the thing, you want 300 rwkw, so it doesnt matter which mod you do first as you will need to do ALL of the ones i listed in order to make that power.

if you dont want 300 rwkw and want to stick with the stock turbo, then i'd just get a PFC and an EBC and a damn good tune., will make good power and last ages, and both mods you can keep for future upgrade.

hope this helps, but you need to be clearer about what you want

OK well i want to keep the turbo stock for now... i want that to be like one of the last things to change as it will be one of the most expensive...

So if i get in order... EBC - Cool direct air intake - Z32 AFM - Fuel Pump & Injectors together. Then get the PFC last and have it all tuned? Reason why i said PFC last is so i dnt have to keep getting everything tuned after every mod... then ill change the clutch...

Then later somewhere down the track ill change the turbo... how does this plan sound?

sounds reasonable thats for sure, yes start getting all the parts now, so the AFM, injectors, fuel pump, ebc, and the PFC, get them all and then you can book it in with your tuner of choice to get all the parts installed and then tuned up. once you have all that you just add a turbo to make decent power.

as for cold air intake, you can do that any time, you wont need a retune for it.

OK sweet - i thought that for the cool air intake you would need it tuned because more air would be running through the POD filter...

Thanks for your help mate - i will start collecting the parts and get it all installed and tuned! Appreciate your opinion for this.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
