Hi all,

Just after a bit of advice, The car is a GTR R33 Skyline.

The items that are fitted is

N1 Turbos

exhaust - Just fap front pipe, highflow metal cat and cat back Kakimoto Regu 06&R.

Blitz SUS Pods

Trust FMIC

Have bought ready to install....

Greddy profec 2

Tomei Cam gears...

and

Power FC and controller

Standered fuel pump, injectors etc etc

Should i change the fuel pump? or injectors? Will the stock GTR items be ok? If need to be changed what would surfice?

Should i look at adding anything??? I want to do as much as i can before the tune so i know it'll all be right.

Just wondering what COULD be expected from this set up??

Thanks

You need both before installing the PowerFC or you'll be wasting your time and money tuning it. You'll max out the injectors before making any meaningful power and the workshop will most likely tell you what everyones told you already.

upgrade your fuel system....

Injectors and fuel pump will go to about 270kw - people say 300kw but it never makes it to there as the are old and tired

I would personally go some bigger injectors and also a new fuel pump - NISMO/TOMEI etc

You've come this far so you might as well put everything on at once and get it all tuned together otherwise you would be just wasting money going back later for more boost + injectors & fuel pump

Yes - Although the 040 might require you to modify the cradle to make it fit - had to cut the bottom of the cradle off in my GTST

TOMEI pumps go in way easier - use the stock fittings/mountings etc and come with new seal and shit

Yes - injectors are piss easy in GTR

there is a DIY somewhere as well

Also with the fuel pumps, all the nismo 276L/H, HKS 280L/H Tomei etc etc all around the same price etc So they all around the same??? or are any better than others??

you might get away with one of those up 350rwkw maybe..yeah yeah I know heaps of ppl are making that on standard pumps blah blah blah...its about how much power you want know and in the end run, sure you can use it as a lift pump in the next upgrade but then that means another tune and more $$$ wasted...just do it rite the first time and be done with it, run new fuel lines like 3/8" lines again ppl say standard is fine but think 3/8" or 10mm is 20% bigger in size than standard...

At the moment greenline has a special on SARD injectors, so i was thinking some 700cc. Will they do the job?? As there the same price as the 660cc ones

Nismo and HKS are better pumps than Tomei. A few ppl have said Tomei's lose voltage at high RPM and the engine leans out.

GET the pump and injectors. As soon as i cranked the boost (from stock to 12psi) the pump started to die.

Pump change is a DIY job, i'm not a mechanic and i got the old pump out easy. Injectors give the DIY sectin a read.

Get injectors that suit what you need from them. No use getting 1,000,000cc's when i.e. 660cc will suffice.

Don't put a junky Bosche 040 in your GTR if you want to make good decent power and reliably.

Get a Nismo 275lph @ 72psi pump. It will fit it like a glove and require no modifications. Oh, and you won't have pickup issues either.

excellent thanks guys thats the info i was after!!

Glad there both a DIY job, will search for the info...

Ill get a price on the nismo 275lph and the sard 700cc injectors. cheers guys.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
