Hey guys I am in need for some more power but before I go ahead with the process I would like some feedback of what you guys think about my intended goal and how I aim to get there.

I have an 1994 R33 Gts25t. The only modification on it is a HKS Pod Filter and GReddy Type-RS B.O.V.

My Goal is to rise power @ the wheels to around 220-250kw. With a min budget of between 10 to 15 thousand (including labour) I would like to know what would be the best way to get there without trial and errors.

- Brands are not so much important but reliability is a must.

- Bolt-ons would be great without any mods to any parts in the actual engine bay.

- Response is my main agenda rather than power.

- MOST IMPORTANTLY...would like to keep my car legal and "SLEEPERISH"

So far I have come up with this list after searching endlessly...

* X-Force "Varex" Turbo-Back exhaust w/ split dump pipe

* KKR-430 Turbo

* GReddy Profec-B Spec II Boost Controller

* GReddy FMIC "Bar & Plate"

* GReddy Ultimate ECU

* 550cc Injectors

* Bosch 040 In Tank Fuel Pump

Questions I'd like answered are...

- Is the turbo suitable for the power wanted, and also responsive enough?

- Is the Boost controller reliable enough?

- Is my choice of ECU compatible and most of all reliable?

- What other mods would I need?

If you could help it would be much appreciated, and would most likely be beneficial for others.

Cheers. :)

for the turbo if you want responsiveness why not go a HKS 2535, GT-RS, 2835..... and if you could get a Power FC and yes the Greddy boost controller is good :) have you also got a clutch? e.g heavy duty? if not you should consider one

Cheers

for under 10k youd have an awesome setup. if you want to retain a stock look and go for your desired power goal go for a gcg hiflow, pfc, injectors, fuel pump,fmic, turbo back exhaust,hd clutch. should get full boost by 3k. its been covered many times before.

good luck with it all

Sell your car, put the car money and cash towards a GTR, remove the body kit, front badge, replace boot lid with a GTS25t, or GTS and get rims that hide the studs.

Just an idea.

For $15K you can have more than 250kw. I reckon only spend what you need to get 250kw (that's plenty for the street) and spend the rest getting the power to the road.

HKS GT-RS (or another pick, btw highflow will be lucky to get to 250kw)

Injectors

Fuel Pump (Nismo/Walbro/Bosch etc)

Front Mount

Turbo Back exhaust

Apexi intake

Power FC + Boost controller

Oil Cooler

Z32 AFM

Regapped spark plugs (0.8mm)

Good, you already got the clutch.

Other mods i'd STRONGLY recommend are:

Coilovers

9-10 inch wide rims (on the rear, smaller up front)

Uprated brake pads and brake fluid (brake lines too if you can afford)

Boost and Oil Temp gauges

hks 25/30?

HKS 25/30....do you know much about them?

WHats the response like....also what psi would I need to run it to squeeze out my targeted power figure!

I've noticed people mentioning a lot of HKS turbos but what about the GReddy TD06/25G...is it not as good..i've read a lot of articles and power figures with the response it gives is substantial....but not to familiar with the price though!

Thanks for that...

I'll give it a look up!

He said he wanted a sleeper, and hot damn what a sleeper it would be. Just imagine the look on people's faces.

Exactly mate...

I had a Honda Civic with a 2.0 V-tec banger in between the front struts...

And boy oh boy did I love racing forced inducted cars...

when the V-tec kicked in it screamed so hard you couldn't even hear the exhaust note from the other car...

From peoples replies I believe 250rwkw would be perfect for the street!

I'll keep you updated on how things go in the next month or two!

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
