Hey guys thought i would start a new thread on my car so i can ask all questions/suggestions/comments on one thread.

People interested can follow my progress as i go..

Car is R33 S2.

Mods: (current)

-Split fire coil pack

-Full exhaust

-K&N filter

-Apexi Cooler

-Mines ECU (non programmable)-factory tuned to 12psi-14psi

-Turbo tech manual boost controller

-Greddy blow off

Made 207.8KW at wheels with stock turbo at 12 psi. Since then i ran 14 psi for a bit and blew the turbo. Upgrade here i come!!! Here is dyno chart for those interested:

image026.th.jpg

Installing:

Gt3040 AKA Garrett 3082r(top mount), manifold, external wastegate (40mm)

Aim is 240kw at wheels.-Suggestions? is it possible with this set up running 14psi on this turbo?

image027.th.jpg

Future: Aim 270kw

Power FC, fuel pump, injectors (in no particular order). Suggestions please?

definitely not safe without a bigger fuel pump. that should be much higher on the priority list..

next thing is injectors maxing out... may need adjustable fuel pressure regulator/ new larger injectors to put more fuel into the engine to mix with the larger amount of air pumped in from the bigger turbo.

next thing is afm will be close to its max now, i dont think it would hold up to 240rwkw... so probably need a z32.

Thank you for your inputs.

Its clear that i must get a FUEL PUMP so ill be looking for a 040 pump from now on. Hopefully i find one soon so i can install it while the turbo is getting done, at the same time.

As for injectors, im not sure what to look for? What brand is good enough?

hi

for that turbo you will need

turbo

manifold

external wastegate

exhaust dump pipe changes

powerfc

boost control kit (or elec boost controller)

fuel pump (nismo or 040)

injectors (550cc or GTR might be ok with resistor pack, 550cc is probably easier)

z32 airflow meter

budget around $11k supplied, installed and tuned, no problems with 270rwkw

youll have problems with traction however

the cheaper solution? but a 2nd hand R33 GTST turbo for $300 and be happy with 200rwkw

:D

you might find the 3040 will peak near 290rwkw ish

so its probably too much power for your requirements and budget

as you climb the power band, the cost $ per killowatt expotentially increases

ive had 200rwkw for about 5 years now and i have no issues with most cars on the street

i think ive had probably 2 vl;s and 1 or 2 v8s beat me properly

so you dont need 280rwkw to be quick on the street

for example if you got a hiflow or 2nd hand stocker and

spent some $ - maybe $2k on suspension youll make the quicker and handle heaps better

Okay lets see your list:

I have the following:

turbo-YES

manifold-YES

external wastegate-YES

exhaust dump pipe changes-YES

boost control kit (or elec boost controller)-YES

fuel pump (nismo or 040)-YES, got one today just need to pick it up.

New clutch-YES.

The following i will need:

injectors (550cc or GTR might be ok with resistor pack, 550cc is probably easier)-NO-not yet, looking

z32 airflow meter-Not yet, have to do more research to understand what it does.

powerfc-NOT YET-probably last thing because of tune.

I'm confused, people say you can run 240rwk on a hi flow on 17psi but you cant run 14psi on this turbo with out injectors and pump and z32 airflow meter? Or did i misunderstand that?

My initial plan was to go with these mods: (to achieve 240kw)

-Split fire coil pack

-Full exhaust

-K&N filter

-Apexi Cooler

-Mines ECU (non programmable)-factory tuned to 12psi-14psi

-Turbo tech manual boost controller

-Greddy blow off

-Gt3040 AKA Garrett 3082r(top mount), manifold, external wastegate (40mm)

-040 Fuel pump

-Clutch when this one goes

Basically i was hoping with that set up i would be able to run 240kw on 14 psi, and have room for improvement when i get bored of 240kw.

you might find the 3040 will peak near 290rwkw ish

so its probably too much power for your requirements and budget

as you climb the power band, the cost $ per killowatt expotentially increases

Yes you are spot on, i had the same experience. But i got raped by every skyline r33 i tried (2). So i they are fast in the same car, i wouldn't mind being a bit quicker too. But yea you are right, to get the upgrades now, its big bucks.

you cant tune the mines computer, all you can do is plonk it on the dyno

and hope the afrs are OK and it runs ok, given you are changing AFMS and injectors, its unlikely

it probably wont even idle - so unless you can find a shop to remap the mines ecu (try dr drift)

your stuck with a probably unsafe tune / unstable or youll have to replace the ecu

your better off changing injectors, AFM and ECU all at once

and getting it tuned once for the most safest power you can make

then use your brains to control the power or turn the boost down

doing a complete tune on one level of PSI, then months later

doing it again on another level of PSI is stupid

or turning up the boost later and hoping for the best (ie, without retune) is also stupid

i dont see why you need a Z32 or injectors..

Im getting 242rwkw with:

Highflow turbo

Mines ECU + Safc

Exhaust

Cooler

Pod

Walbro fuel pump

Shard adj Fuel Reg

Boost controller on 1 bar boost on safe tune..

Hmmmm, interesting. I see you have Shard adj Fuel Reg, do i need it on a big turbo, in you opinion?

ive had 200rwkw for about 5 years now and i have no issues with most cars on the street

i think ive had probably 2 vl;s and 1 or 2 v8s beat me properly

so you dont need 280rwkw to be quick on the street

and just how did you manage to overcome an ~ 80kw difference?

schumacher, is that you? :blush:

(seriously though, i would like to know)

Hmmmm, interesting. I see you have Shard adj Fuel Reg, do i need it on a big turbo, in you opinion?

Depends if you want more power later on..

I got use to the power in 2 months.. now i want more..

If you JUST want 240rwkw i say go highflow.. its cheaper..

Oh btw.. Dr Drift did tune my Mines ECU.. =]

Oh and if u get EPA'd, ull be taking the turbo out cos its aftermarket and it looks bigger..

I had no problems with the highflow :blush:

I nearly went for hi flow but thought of future wants and needs so i opted for bigger turbo.

So dr drift tuned your ECU, what the rough price for that job?

As for EPA, i know. hehe o well we all take risks.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
