R33 Gts-t 205rwkw > 280rwkw. Best Method/possible?

Hey all,

In my R33 GTS-T Series 2, I'm currently running (with stock internals):

* Walbro high pressure fuel pump

* Apexi Power FC (running 14psi)

* Pod filter w/z32 pipe

* Full 3" turbo back exhaust with high flow cat

* Intercooler

which all up, outputs 205rwkW.

I'm looking at the best (and hopefully relatively cost effective) ways of getting 280rwkW+ (while keeping the stock internals), if possible.

Is this going to require a rebuild?

I thought I'd put it to you guys, as to the best course of action. Regarding budget, I guess it depends on the options available to me, but obviously lower is better.

Any advice/help is much appreciated.

Cheers.

A bigger turbo - > GT3071 or HKS 2835

Injectors -> 500cc and above

Re-Tune

Since it's still below 300rwkw, no it does not require a re-build

(emphasis mine)

Thanks for that.

Regarding a re-build, if the engine is not rebuilt, won't it strain the components much more once the output is increased?

of course it will.

your chasing double what the engine puts out stock.

it can be done and it may not break anything, its been done many times before, but it will definitely be putting everything under more pressure.

Your right about the turbos, wrong about the rebuild. There's no magic number when RB25's pop. 280kw is getting close to the power threshold, but a nugget RB25 could seize at 270kw or less. Age, wear, tune etc etc all effect the engine's health.

Chris if you make 280kw keep in mind you'll rapidly shorten the engine's life.

Tune with safe AFR's, keep the limiter on 7000rpm or lower. Dont thrash the thing too much and use good oil and it should last for a long time. How long it will last is another question, how long is a piece of string?

upgrade the turbo fo sho!

im told the injectors can handle about 250rwkw so youll need bigger ones.

i run a forward facing plenum. not sure how much difference it makes, but worth researching i guess.

I had a feeling 280 may be pushing the envelope a bit.

Would 250 be more reasonable?

As Above

Plus

coilpacks

Boost Controller

Z32 afm

clutch

also if you want the engine to last longer i would get an oil cooler and head gasket aswell

I'm sure he'll post in this thread soon enough as he's a wh0re :D but PM joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo. He has just finished an R33 running 265kW with the mods mentioned in this thread, turbo was HKS 2835. No rebuild, with an awesome tune. The car is super responsive and the tuner has suggested that it will run like clockwork for a long time. His low boost is 245kW which seems mild enough for the street and his high boost at 265kW is brilliant.

To add to the mods above, do some work on your suspension/handling. You won't regret it.

I am about to do the same thing in an R34 with a desired output of about 275-280kW. Newer motor and cams are really the only reasons why I am looking for a bit more.

Good luck mate.

yeh ive got suspension and some other handeling mods done makes a huge difference, but 265 rwkw sounds awesome the only thing i was worried about is reliability but if it will last i would definatly follow in his direction.

thanks again to everyone for your advise

what you have to remember is that you can upgrade power cheaply... but its just stupid.

for my 265 i have upgraded brake rotors & pads, adjustable camber & castor, sway bars, struts, coilovers, hicas lock etc etc and diff & oil cooler are next

not to mention that i wanted it responsive, so i went for an exhaust cam gear (to keep vct) and brought the power band down (dont mind losing 15 kw up top to get it all @ 3k) ;)

if you do it properly it will not be cheap.

by all means go for it :D

check out this thread for more info on my experiances with the 2835 :)

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
