Hey Guys,

Well, i've just purchased my first Skyline (R33 GTS-T) and i'm very happy with my new toy :P

it's pretty stock apart from a front mount intercooler, turbosmart boost tap (running standard boost) , and b.o.v. My guess is that its pushing around165-170rwkw.

I'm keen to get more power, aiming for around the 220rwkw mark.

Just wondering what mods you guys have done and what sort of power is your Skyline pushing?

Cheers Guys :(

With just the cooler and standard boost your probably pushing around 140-150rwkw... do you have an exhaust?

Around the 220rwkw mark would require full exhaust, up the boost, aftermarket or retuned standard ecu, cant remember how much kw the standard turbo can hold but 220rwkw is probably asking for a new turbo anyways, standard clutch will probably go too, fuel pump... theres a thread in the forced induction section with what mods and how many kw they're making.

if you look in the forced induction section you will find loads of info to answer your many questions.

you will need a few mods to make 220+rwkw

to get started:

-full exhaust

-pod filter (preferably with some way of getting cold air to it)

-front mount intercooler

-fuel pump

then to get 220+rwkw you will have to look at($$$):

-more boost (bigger turbo)

-engine management (new ecu, or remap the stock one)

more power again($$$):

-injectors

-manifolds

-cams

-internals

just a basic rundown, i think most people would more or less agree with my assessment.

you can probably achieve 220kw on a stock turbo. but that would just about be its limit.

thats ok though, coz by the time it blows, you'll have gotten use to 220 and want to upgrade to a bigger turbo anyway

i'm sure nissan planned it this way ;)

and i dont think 260kw will max the internals. maybe 290kw

Soz yeah forgot to mention has a full 3 inch zorst into a 5 inch tip...I heard those turbosmart boost taps are bad for the engine what do you think? i'm keen to get rid of it and get an electronic boost controller..

cheers

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
