Hey there people.

I just recently bought a 1994 R33 Skyline.

It has a Big HKS exhaust and a Greddy Intercooler.

I had a bleed valve fitted and it is runnibg at 11psi, punching out

187RWKW.

I was just wondering what is next to do to it. I just wanna do it and

not have to worry about replacing stuff over and over.

I was hoping for about 350-400+ ATW. The car is off the road for some

of the work to begin.

I am not made of money and I saved for years for this so I am

hoping to do the work myself.

Can you please help me out.

Thanks,

Shaun

350-400RWKW you wont get for any less than $5000- $10000+ on existing engine....

your next mod should be ECU related, either replace with full aftermarket set up and tune $1200-$$$ or look into something like a second hand SAFC piggy back controller $4-500 tuned, good tune on full replacement ECU with 14psi should get you 50-70 extra RWKW depending on the condition of you engine.

you will get better responses in the forced induction section though..

May-be a MOD can just move this thread..

350-400kw atw?

Prepare to spend big (c.10-15k) and put up with lots of little issues- especially if the car isn't in tip-top condition. The difference in cost between 250rwkw and 350rwkw is big.

For that power you'll need a forged bottom end, head work (cams, port/polish, valves+springs), fat ass laggy turbo, reworked fuelling system, Power FC, twin/triple plate clutch etc...

I could go on and list the other things, and some of the problems that might arise from working the car so hard (such as maintaining traction)

If you're prepared, patient, well planned, and have the cash you can build an awesome machine. Do some searches in forced induction and drivetrain sections too.

Good luck ;)

      Unpeeling the Orange

      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!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
