My R33 Turbo In On My Rb20 Don't Know Where Should Go Next

Hello

I have a R32 GTS-T. I put a R33 turbo on it. It has a HKS adjustable acuator. I have it set at .5 bar. Going to set it at .8 or .9. I have a catback exhaust, intake.

What else should I do next? I have a R34 SMIC that I haven't put on yet.

I want to get the most out of this turbo that I can. Should I get a GTR fuel pump or a Nismo 4L pump? Should I put in GTR injectors or Nismo ones or keep stock? Do I need a aftermarket computer now? Should I go with the down pipe/ front pipe? Do I have to tune if so?

Later, in the winter time, I will buy a friends TD06 but cant afford it right now. Later going to get Emanage, and FMIC.

I have read and read and I really don't know where I should go from here. There is a big improvement in response and speed just from having the R33 turbo on there.

Help!

I want to do next important upgrading!!! I live in Japan and the area where I live gets only about 30-32 degrees celcius in the summer on average.

well i have a stock rb20 with rb25 turbo, 3" turbo back exhaust (no cat), bosch 910 pump with surge tank, 600x300 fmic, safc II, manual boost controller (turbo tech) & thats it.

gives a responsive 250hp atw, but larger turbo, injectors afm & nistune flash will be going on pretty soon.

Cool

Why the surge tank? Does the fmic give much lag? The reason I am going with the R34 smic is because I read on this forum that it is about 50% bigger than stock. So its shorter travel for the air to the turbo so hopefully not a lot of lag.

What kind of larger turbo are you putting on? What is a nistune flash? Why a safc II instead of a computer?

Thanks

I would put the exhaust and r34 smic before boosting. Its best to no not go past 14psi on stock r33 turbo otherwise it starts to get risky. But when u do boost, you should get a tune.

I will finish the exhaust(downpipe, front pipe, better cat) after I get a computer. I will put the smic on within the next two weeks. Busy with work. I will not be able to buy a computer and tune for about 1 to 2 months due to having to use money for something else. Is this fine? I will make sure not to set it about 14 psi.

yeah the surge tank is a bit of overkill but it & the pump were installed by the previous owner when the car had a different motor.

this setup is very responsive with sfa lag imo & i wouldnt run anything else but a decent fmic.

it has custom cooler pipes & the cold side pipe (after the cooler) is fairly short compared to some setups ive seen.

anyway i dont mind a bit of lag especially if you can run say 20psi & have a real good hit of power.

the safc was put on by a previous owner cause when he bought the car it had been bought back to pretty much stock. it was running autronics & hks turbo etc before he bought it.

the car is making reasonable power with its basic mods & a lot of that is probably due to the safc.

im going for a nistune flash instead of a new complete ecu cause they are only about 800 bux tuned & do the job i believe.

the turbo thats going on is a s/hand (6 months old) Apexi AX53B70 P-25, its a bit smaller than i probably would have liked but for $1000 for the complete apexi kit (turbo, dump, braided lines, etc) it was pretty hard to pass up.

cheers

Hi mate I have headed down the same path as you when you do decide to

go down the path with a computer upgrade to handle all these mods.

I would higly recommend that you go n see Dr Drift for a reflash chip for

the std computer as this is what I have done and the results have been

unreal totally different car to drive shit loads more mid range and can

drive the car on the throttle more around the race track.This has been

the best mod I have done on the car so far,and a lot cheaper than a pfc.

Good luck with it

he lives in japan so are these reflash options really viable?

can he send them his ecu & they modify it & flash a generic tune to suit his mods?

i would have thought a live/real time tune was the only type worth having

Are you telling me that there is no-one in Japan that can do a CHIP for a car/motor/ecu that's been around IN JAPAN for 19 years?

Not saying DR-Drift is good, but he lives in Japan FFS.. we get cars come over here with MINES chips etc.

why would he not do this instead of getting DR-DRIFT or toshi or cef11e to tune for a fuel we don't even have here??

There are places here, but I dont know where a lot are. Plus they charge crazy money here for a lot of this stuff. I try to put on as much stuff as possible getting help from friends. But none of my friends know how to tune.

How can I contact DR. Drift?

Fair enough I didn't read that he lives in Japan FFS!

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
