I dont understand why you have done what youve done to the fuel system! For standard turbos! You dont need it. Plain and simple.

For the money youve spent on the fuel system you could have bought a second hand set of hi-flows and made ~270kw.

Forget about changing the dumps, thats stupid, might as well change turbos at the same time if youre going to do that.

Yes do a front pipe and check the cat. Or go de-cat. (Best)

P.S 13psi is scary for 19 year old turbos.

I think what he has done to the fuel system is perfectly fine. The fuel system is usually the last thing people look at after doing other mods, then when the pump runs out of legs on the dyno you loose the tune and start all over again. You honestly think he would have made 270kw with hi-flows running a standard pump? I don't think so.

My personal pref is to prep it for turbo's first and get all the other stuff out of the way, ie fuel system, ign, exhaust. Then all you have to do is change turbos and not worry about using them to there full potential.

Changing the dumps it's not stupid, if your staying twins and not upgrading turbos straight away then you simply bolt them back up to the new turbos later on down the track. Don't go de-cat either, go a hi flow.

I won't call you stupid for telling him that but like you did me, but if you don't want to go over the pits and get fisted then go a hi flow.

Stockers. Other mods (minimal) are in the thread R31Nismoid linked you to.

Turbos's dont take 5 weeks for delivery from within Australia. Contact the seller, get a tracking number

I purchased the turbos on ebay at auction for a good price. Tried ringing the guy and emailing him but got the feeling that he was avoiding my calls. He was going to deliver them personally he reckons.

Yeh, my car got 50kw's more in rw mode than in aw mode on the same dyno lol, some dyno's allow for the awkw mode and will read like rw dyno's and some have no correction and will just read the power output at all fours.. Also some will read higher than others because the tuners like them reading that way

That's the shiet thing, some peoples stated awd are actually just adjusted to read like rwd figures, at autosalon for example

I've always wondered about the power loss.. 50kw's seems alot to lose just to the front wheels being on? How can some legitimate tuners get readings on awd dyno's that are only a few kw's different from the same car in rwd on the same dyno

I see, Thanks GTAAAH. Didnt know running awkw and running rwkw made such a big difference. But yeah +1 to what you said on dyno readings

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
