Hi guys,

I'm in the middle of deciding how to upgrade my gtst's performance, and number of options have come up over the last few months...currently i am chasing a fmic before anything else happens, but after that, i dunno wut i could do to the car and would like a few ideas.

right now the car has a hi-flowed T03/T04 hybrid turbo, complete turbo back exhaust, pod filter, stock cooler, S-AFC, EVC 3 boost controller.

It managed to make 200rwkw at 15psi of boost after tuning the S-AFC (comes to abt 270rwhp).

Could anyone gimme an idea of wut sort of power this car could make once a fmic is installed? The car would probably be running at 10psi most of the time, or maybe even stock...I just want to know wut sorta power I would be making. If it feels sufficient, I may call it quits as far as performance goes, and concentrate on the suspension and brakes like a good boy.

Hypothetically, a budget of around 4k-5k would be do-able after the fmic is installed...would take a while, but do-able...would like to know wut could be done with this money.

I have more in-depth questions, but will post them once opinions have been made regarding these questions first.

Please feel free to talk at length, then everyone can benefit from the know-how

thanks,

Zak

Hi Nrage33, I would suggest a GTR fuel pump as the next mod as you are getting close to the limit of the GTST fuel pump. Then a standard R32/33 GTR intercooler (good up to 300 rwkw) usually gives a 20 rwkw increase over a standard R32/33 GTST intercooler. I would then suggest an adjustable exhaust camshaft pulley. That should give you 230 to 240 rwkw which is pretty close to what the standard internals will handle.

Hope that helps

sydneykid,

thanks for the info...what does an adjustable exhaust camshaft pulley do anyway?

I'll definitely look into the fuel pump tho, I can feel these current fuel pumps I have are near their end...

If i wanted to reinforce the internals, what exactly would I need to do?

2.5 lit should be fine depends on how much power you are after..and if you are going over 240rwkw then probably some mild internal work...but after that you can push it even more depeneds on how much money it comes too in the end...remember tuning and dyno time as an extra cost..

This is what happens when you are making 240rwkw with an RB25 and then slap a RB30E bottom end in there.

Due to the head flow charastics the final power is still roughly the same.

I guess the saying still applies.

There's no replacement for displacement. :burnout:

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
