i have been looking for answers for this for a while. asked a few people on the forums about their setups from the dyno thread for RB25

i went into a reputable performance shop on the weekend and asked a couple questions too.

i like the standard turbo for R33.

i like the way it spools quickly for me it is good enough. however i want to be able to draw 16psi from this turbo thats the power level i want from my car nothing more.

i know it cant handle this level of boost however but the gcg high flow can

i dont want to spend so much on the engine either want to keep costs to a minimum im not asking for too much power from a computer, elec boost controller to hold the 16psi and high flow turbo shoot for around 220kw.

the reputable performance specialist said the turbo doesnt work below 230kw?! and you still need to put afm, injectors etc etc to finish it off. is this true?

i already have all other mods dump, high flow cat, filter, cooler and zorst. can anyone shed any light on this?

you will get 200kw with the standard AFM, injectors bla bla. it will feel pretty good compared to what you've got now, it will keep a grin on your face for about 2 days. for 220kw you can use a safc/sitc if you're not keen on spending $2000 for an ecu and a tune (you'll only be spending $1000).

reality is you will be wanting more from what you have with whatever setup you want to go with. you may think that you'll be fine with 220kw for now but in 2 months time when the money/time is there you'll be spending double of what you already have to get it how you want it - trust me.

Learn from 90% of our mistakes and get all of the right gear now. you WILL be saving yourself alot of $$ in the long-run.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
