2871?

I run a low mount GT3037 pushing 300rwkw and 720nm of torque.

Car is a standard R33 Series 2 with mags. Got suspension but it doesn't even look lowered.

Everything looks pretty much stock.

Is that 300rwkw on stock internals?

Is that 300rwkw on stock internals?

Sure is, completely stock engine.

Since this dyno graph, I've leaned it to 12.7:1, and fixed that bump in the curve. That was at 18psi, I've also since had it up to 22psi. Makes a fair whack more power at that boost, but I couldn't control the boost properly so I pulled it back to 19psi.

I do ALL of my own tuning.

In reguards to R31Nismoid's post, HKS make whats called a HKS Silent Exhaust System.

You still get the flow and the nice cannon muffler but the noise is near to nothing. Probley just a slight rumble on full throttle and thats it.

Well I've currently got a custom exhaust with 2 mufflers being made at the moment, it's a backyard job though, so I hope that doesn't hinder me.

So getting a PFC rather than remapping the stock ecu is that much more beneficial? Let's say I get a PFC and get done, when I swap my stock one back in will my car run like goat's cheese? Ie. pass an emissions test, assuming I have a high flow turbo ect.?

If that's the case I might just do that unless I can get away with just the sock ecu remapped.

Nothing wrong with backyard jobs :D MOst of mine is backyard work, and better than any exhause shop in town.

As for emmissions -

I'd talk to Guilt-Toy, he's passed emmissions with a Powerfc and 380rwkw.

He might know the tricks to get emmisions passed with a remap, or even a daughteboard.

Ok well I've been doing some more research and I've been looking at getting a hi-flow r34 turbo, stealth intercooler kit, painted injectors, my custom exhaust.

I'm thinking about heading down to racepace since the are near my house and getting their advice too,

Will need to get a stock airbox with hi-flow filters to replace my pod.

Anything I've missed guys or any other suggestions?

Thanks heaps!

:spank: YEH bottom mount turbos are sweet,also a greddy hideaway intercooler is good,basically replaces the stock one,but is 5 times bigger..cams ,certain n/a tunes help compliment turbos ...cams,lifters.most internals,short shift kit...good rubber get what power u have to the ground...oversize everrtything...throttle bodies...etc... power chip.... tune...etc :devil:

EPA open the ECU covers if they suspect a chip, so either way...

Jesus christ you guys have it hard down there!! Beginning to understand why more and more of you guys keep everything looking stock on your cars.

This is Vic - there is no way to pass for the average punter. It costs more than all the mods put together so not worth it.

Simple as that.

NSW + Vic = not same. Cannot compare.

You'll pass easily.

idle and no load emissions will barely change with a larger turbo as the test does not involve loading up the motor.

Its been done time and time again by people, hence i recommended it.

Ye i must say i was surprised when he opened my ECU cover to check for a chip... lucky i didn't have my "special" stock ECU in there :spank:

Wet shots of gas can very, very easily be hidden. You can set it up so its virtually invisible. Hardest thing is hiding the bottle somewhere that isn't obvious.....

just mount the bottle in the cavity between the boot and back seat, just above the fuel tank access (if its a r33)

I don't think cops look in there?

Yes they can but, you don't need to and shouldn't. The bottle needs good ventilation around it.

Taking a setup kit out can be a 10-15min job, leaving behind only a secured braided line, bottle bracket and plumbed in fogger with a couple of little screw on caps on it. Too easy :cheers:

It's a great option for someone wanting to go drag racing on the odd occasion. If the power requirement is only 150rwhp or so then you can get something like the Zex solenoid setup that looks to me to be the easiest to plug in and un plug quick for a visit to the strip. Although I believe they only offer smaller kits.

Adriano,

11's with stock intake (not restrictive really) stock Turbo (2rismo has already done it with a fairly small shot) and stock exhaust (well thats the nasty bit) do-able still. Little bigger shot needed perhaps a 125 to 150hp-ish.

Food for thought. :)

just leave your airbox and upgrade the standard side mount, you doing track work? high flow the standard turbo and get bigger injectors and pfc and your laughing. bingo bango job done and car still looks standardish.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
