hi guys i need some help i drive a R32 gts-t with the following mods:

mapped to 1 bar with apexi power fc on 95 ron fuel

3 inch straight through exhaust with decat

apexi induction kit

greddy spec 2 boost controller

uprated turbo elbow

gtr front mount intercooler with 3 inch piping

RB25 turbo

GTR fuel pump

oil cooler

my problem is that my car seems slower now than it was when i got it when i got it it was boosting 0.8 with an induction kit and exhaust and it really pushed me back to the seat it doesnt have that anymore. when i got it mapped on the rolling road it was hitting 245 bhp at the wheels, which i think is a good figure considering its mapped on rubbish 95 ron fuel. now if anyone can help me with a few question i have i will be very grateful.

1. will mapping it on shell optimax make a big difference? bhp wise how much are we talking on estimate?

2. should i use 2.5 inch intercooler piping instead of 3inch? what difference will that make?

3. is my standard bov ok to be running on 1bar?

4. what are the advantages and disadvantages if i get my intercooler pipes welded instead of using the plastic hoses?

any other help or advise you want to give feel free. thank you

thanks guys

1. yes, it should. You could possibly gain up to 10rwkw, maybe more.

2. Shouldn't matter that much, the smaller pipe might help throttle response. But I doubt it.

3. yeap, should be fine, if not, get a GTR BOV to replace it. Don't use a Vent to atmosphere, your car will run like crap.

4. None. If there are no leaks, then none at all.

Have you put it on the dyno to see if it has actually lost power?

I have 300rwkw, and it feels pretty average after about 3 months of use. You get used to it and think your car is slowing down.

But definately get it tuned to better fuel. Shouldn't take any longer than about 1 hour on the dyno.

Without going back and putting it on the same dyno (to find out if your making 245hp still) its hard to tell.

If indeed you find its making the same power, in the same fashion... easiest thing is dive a corolla for 2 weeks and it'll feel fast again :ninja:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
