R33 Gts Mods

[opp61]

Hi,

Got an R33 GTS 1997 series 2 which is totally stock.

Planned to do the following to me ride which is within budget.

1) FMIC. Found one which is a GTR 33 size .

2) Down pipe 3 inch from front to back

3) Manual boost controller with boost set to 0.8 bar

4) CAI from Apexi

Option:

Greddy Emanage piggyback to handle fuel and timing duties.

High speed fuel pump

Adjustable fuel regulator

Question:

1) Can I run 1 to 4 without adding the emanage or any piggyback at 0.8 bar?

2) What would the safe level of boost to run with very std mods such as the above?

3) What bhp on wheels should I be looking at.

Appreciate any help I can get on this.

Thanks!!!

I've got a R33 S2 running Pod Filter, Boost controller at 10/11psi, 600x300x76 FMIC, 3" Split Dump/Front, Full Trust 3/4" Exhaust and no Cat (shhhh).

I've got a SAFC2 Neo in, but it's not tuned yet, the car is running reasonably rich and it pops flames here and there but it's generally fine, just fuel economy has dropped a little. I doubt I'm making very good power with this setup though as without a tune it'll mostly be wasted.

So, make that Emanage a little higher on your list and you should be able to make good power and good economy.

what do you actually want to do with the car?

What aspect of it are you trying to improve?

Answer questions like this and do some searching. Then you will be on a better path to the right mods.

Got this reply on another forum. Looks interesting

injectors max out at around 340 bhp

afm max out............around.340 bhp

fuel pump max........around 350 bhp

standard turbo, max boost .8bar, max power 330bhp ish

standard ecu max power 330bhp ish

standard clutch.....340bhp max

head gasket max 1.2bar, any more boost above 1.2 bar increases compression, so change for a thicker 1.8mm to reduce compression so increase boost.

So seems that if we keep everthing below 0.8 bar or below 330 bhp, we should be fine.

The piggyback seems like and important piece of hardware I really need to consider but so is the intercooler and exhaust system, high speed fuel pump too. Decision,decision,decisions.

In terms of power, Not looking for more than 330 bhp on engine or more than 0.8 bar of boost.

Will set my mod list as follows:

1) Open pod filter

2) FMIC

3) 3 inch downpipe

4) E manage

5) Manual boost controller

From some info from members, the Walpro can come a bit later as boost is not too high and fuel pump will max out at 340 bhp.

Will start my mod project in a bit and update accordingly. Wish me luck.

injectors max out at around 340 bhp - correct

afm max out............around.340 bhp - try 300bhp

fuel pump max........around 350 bhp - try 250bhp

standard turbo, max boost .8bar, max power 330bhp ish - try 260bhp

standard ecu max power 330bhp ish - only as good as the tuner

standard clutch.....340bhp max - try 240bhp

Why?

What is the car intended for? What do you want to improve on in terms of how the car drives now?

You will get the benifit of experienced members providing more outcome based feedback.

By the way just two little issues with your plan.

Open pod filter = go backwards in power

FMIC on stock turbo = pointless

Your call.

Thanks for your feedback but are the numbers quoted by you in whp or engine hp?

Thanks

I am planning to run at 0.8 bar and the std intercooler is still ok?

I am not planning to go more than 0.8 bar. I am looking for a bit more poke as the car feels really weighted but I do not want to change the turbo or run high boost.

Thanks
