If there is any advice i can give ya mate

dont get the bendix pads....save some money and get lucas pads

bendix put out shitload of brake dust compared to the lucas

and lucas brakes better and can operate at a higher temperature

Theres nothing wrong with bendix. I've been using them for the last two years and have zero complaints, why change? I've never even heard of lucas pads, and I don't track the car so *shrug* why bother..

yeah im a fan i was sure you had dyslexia with your power figure and meant 153 not to worry

...

Yeah? I'm sure he said 135kw but maybe i heard wrongly. He couldn't print it out as he needed a new printer head! Mods is hi-flow panel filter, turbo back 3" exhaust, hi flow cat, mbc @ 9psi.

i was just letting you know my experience with Bendix pads

they are great apart from the massive brake dust that they put out

yeah they are rather dusty but i have grey rims anyhow so its not really an issue

I've know Shaun since pre-Boostworx days (well before) and I can't speak more highly of him. The business grew strongly in those early days from word of mouth alone.

The Boostworx crew is:

Shaun - owner and tuning guru

Troy

Adam - apprentice

Andrew

Ha-ha, apologies Nick, it was I that killed the print head - a week or so back. It was already a bit dodgy, but after scrolling though heaps of dyno log data and printing off a few sheets I managed to kill it completely.

From my experience with completely standard RB25DET R33 engines the average power figure on a Dyno Dynamics dyno is 130-135rwkw.

Yep, spot on, Steve.

A completely standard R33 GTS25t (and I would assume RS4 in RWD) on the factory setting of 7 psi boost will return 125-135rwkw on DD dyno. At 9-10 psi with basic supporting modifications (exhaust and filter) that figure should increase to 145-150rwkw.

I have a DD dyno sheet from back in 1999, at the time my '33 had a pod filter, cat-back Trust exhaust, and was running 10psi via a bleed valve. From memory it recorded 148rwkw.

with my few mods and thanks to steve for lending me his bleeder on the day

i made 195.6rwkw on the boostworx dyno

was very happy with the result of it

mods.....turbo back trust exhaust, pod filter, fmic, coil packs and bleeder on 13psi = 195.6rwkw

Spot on IMO.

My R32 GTST when 100% stock right down to the exhaust and cat made 110rwkw, 115rwkw with a little more timing and 125rwkw with the afr leaned out by Tim's (old rpm performance owner) good old fuel pressure reg bleeder.

Can't speak more highly of Shaun also. I have known Shaun since pre-boostworx days when he was helping out RPM.

A standard R33 RB25DET wouldn't even get close to 170rwkw on Shaun's current DD dyno. Not a hope in hell. When I state standard, I am talking about stock exhaust, stock 7psi boost, stock everything.

Even the old Boostworx dyno wouldn't have recorded 170rwkw for completely standard '33. The old dyno was about 15rwkw high - so a standard RB25DET '33 would record ~145rwkw.

On the current Boostworx DD dyno a standard R33 RB25DET will record ~130-135rwkw, much more than this and you have a freak or it is not standard.

Yep, that's about what I would expect for those modifications on the Boostworx dyno.

You have almost doubled the stock boost level (7psi + 6psi) completely opened up the restrictive exhaust and cooled the inlet air charge. I would guess that your '33 GTS25t is a series 2? The series 2 ECU responds quite well to basic mod's.

Nope its a r33 series 1 mate

i wasnt too suprised as with those mods on 7psi the car made 179rwkw on graham west dynos

and boostworx and graham west dynos are within 2rwkw of each other

my 32 GTR is going in for a pair of 2860r-5's next week.

mine had blown a few weeks ago, so i am really eager to get the car working again. its booked in for plugs and a tune too.

i am hoping for around the 250rwkw mark. but i guess well just wait and see how the car handles it.

it will be the first time i use boostworx so it will be interesting for me to find out whether all the good rap they get is true.

i hope so!

Another +1 for Boostworx. I've had the 100k service and a 10k service done there now, and the only complaint I had was that when they've refilled the radiator, they didn't fill it up properly with Distilled Water after putting the coolant concentrate in. So when I got home and had a look, my overflow bottle was empty and I couldn't see any coolant in the radiator... having just driven 45mins in peak hour traffic, I was a bit freaked out... esp as they'd have done the dyno run like that. But it only took another litre of demin water to top it up, and it's been going fine ever since.

But they're great guys to deal with and I'm quite happy with their services.

could have possibly just overlooked that i guess

they are pretty busy down there....they do some awesome work though

my 89 GTR is just stock with a full 3 in stainless exhaust and high flow cat.

and a couple of trust airnix pods.

its not that uncommon to get over the 250rwkw mark with the RB26 with a little more boost and better flowing exhaust and filters.

i just hope the turbos arent gonna be too laggy.

i suppose i dont have too long to wait!

    • 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).
