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!

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
