But those LS3 Clubby's weight 1800kg+. with 317Kw and more torque than a telemarketer.

Power to weight is 170kw per tonne.

So a R33 with 1400kg would need 250kw, =~250rwhp. Which is double. Just traction issues for both. More for 33.

yeah but wikipedia and red book says this stat and that stat and blah blah blah lol, power is a question of money, someone will always be faster.

a budget u've set of like $500-$1000 on a basically stock R33 isnt gonna get u far.

once u start upgrading things on ur car, its like pringles once u pop u cant stop.

Well PFC's are discontinued. Great ECU's. But they are expensive 2nd hand and new from overseas. The wolf 3d v500 has huge capabilities and parameters. Top racing has been tuning them for ages. The ECU may have been average a few years ago, but that would have been V2 or V3 not V500.

The ecu's are Plugin Kits for Nissan R32,R33 GTST for $2,095. More people have gotten exposure to them in the last few years. So, its ur call.

your forgetting 317kw at the flywheel.

so thats ~240kw atw considering 25% drivetrain loss.

However the torque is alot more in an LS3 than your 25 thats for sure.

Were u talking to me? 250kw at the flywheel is around 250hp at the rears, with tha 25% drivetrain loss's, and the conversion from HP to kW.

Oh yeap, my mistake didnt see what you did there.

Converting from kw to hp half way through the post threw me off :down:

I'm more confused than ever now

If I may can I refine my original question now I have more info.

I reckon alot of guys have to me in my situation

I have a car that goes pretty quick

I just want it to go a bit quicker

I am sure I don't want an all out race car

just this one mod will do

I have about 180rwkw and want to go to 220-230 AND THAT WOULD BE IT !!!

I know it has to be a turbo upgrade and so an ECU upgrade (my stock ceramic is at its limit ...10-11lbs)

What can I do for $1500

will a piggy-back do if I am absolutely sure there will be NO MORE MODS

I have the exhuast, the intake and the FMIC

I know I won't need injectors for this HP (have the in tank 500HP pump tho)

I really don't want to go the dyno/tuning route if I don't have to....is this poss???....with piggy-back maybe????

But I will do it if I have to (maybe once!!!)

Pls help someone

Why 220-230rwkw?

If all you want is a dyno readout then photoshop one.

On the other hand you can squeeze more 'go' out of your car but, sometimes there are compromises.

Tell us what it is you like about the car and exactly (as best you can) describe what you want the car to 'do' better. Set an actual goal.

This lessens the dollar waste and increases satisfaction because you have a design plan, not some half assed thought.

I don't want a dyno readout at all !

As I said I don't even want to dyno my car

I like everything about how the 33 drives (my first turbo)

It is fast and I love the way it drives now

But I want that extra bit of grunt

Maybe 60-70 horses....just pull harder..a nice turbo hit and then pull hard

No burnouts or crap...

Does that answer your question????

SECONDED!!

that site is a friggin good no-nonsense resource..

but in short

a) as someone already said how are you gonna know how much power you will have unless you get it dyno'ed

b) if you highflow your turbo and increase the boost then the ecu is more than likely going to make the engine run rich so you're going to need some sort of ECU piggyback or replacement combined with a dyno tune to correct this.

get the biggest drop in injectors you possibly can around 740cc with a bosch o44 and a nismo fuel reg with a good computer and u can run 15 psi into your stock turbo and push just a tad over 300rwhp alot of people will say its not possible and not safe but it has been done

Good.

Your budget is too small for a start.

You like the nature of a fairly stock car and why not.

Getting the extra power is however something that doesn't say why 60-70hp is the magic number.

Why 60-70hp? Well you could upgrade the car to give you this amount of addtional power without really impacting the way the car drives too badly.

A new 2530 sized turbo would do this and with minimal difference in lag. Assuming you also take care of the tyres and suspension setup you can stick the extra power down to the road better.

You will ideally want an upgraded ecu and fuel pump and a beefier clutch friction plate (the stock pressure plate pressure is quite fine).

That will keep everything you like about the car but, up the power and straight line speed.

You want to be making use of that on a track by the way for full benifit. :P

overkill for 300hp?

standard turbo will be out of puff before the injectors

and 15psi is to much

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
