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

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
