hey, pretty new here and n/a 33 owner just a couple of quick questions

i no there is all this exhaust extractors etc stuff but in a couple of topics ive seen things like camshafts and ecu's

but ive curious as to where to buy bigger cam or something and a blitz ecu????

im all about modding my 33 as its stock except for exhaust and extractors.

ive come up with a couple of things i wanna do to it but not sure if there worth the power gain for the money (btw im on my p's)

*bigger throttle body

*bigger camshafts/valves/springs etc (heard that u can use rb20 gtst cams but not sure)

*some sort of intake upgrade

if you could even fill me in on what some prices could be would help cheers

in the bit that has your user name and amount of posts etc it says that you have a R34 N/A but you are saying you have a R33 N/A.....which one is it????

My first (well second really) question to you is : what are you wanting to achieve with your car?

Why do you want a Blitz ECU? Why not go with a GReddy Emanage, or even a Apexi Power FC???

Generally speaking, if you want bigger cams, its always a good idea to get head work done aswell so you get the most out of having the bigger cams, then you may have to consider about upgrading your fuel injectors too.

You shouldnt have to worry too much about getting an overly stupid sized bigger throttle body, i would recommend talking to your tuner and seeing what they recommend.

In regards with the intake setup, generally you can just get a pod filter, and have a cold air intake set up to go to the pod.

Also you will find that you will not be able to use RB20 cams in a RB25 engine.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      As I've said elsewhere, I am using the stock intercooler piping path in the engine bay, and a return flow cooler, and making ~250 rwkW (without any effort put into trying to turn it up past there just yet) and expect to be able to make some more, and frankly, I would be perfectly happy with 260-270rwKW. This is peak road Skyline usability territory. You go past there and, sure, the car will snap necks more when it's on boost, but it will also break shit all the time, cost a (even larger) fortune in tyres, etc etc. Anyway, I also do not like the over-the-fan pipe path, and you don't have to do it.

      I see, honestly I’m not too fussed about the looks. The only reason to go plenum is to make the piping easier instead of the classic over the rad etc.

      Not easy to quantify wrt something like how many fractions of a second slower it would be over 0-100. But given that a 250-300rwkW car is able to do that launch sprint in 5-6 sec (and faster with appropriate tyres, and surface)..... giving up as much as a second would feel like torture. A ~450HP capable turbo is not going to make lots of boost in the 2000-3000 rpm range. So, whilst with some boost on hand it will be faster accelerating in that rev range than your engine currently is NA, it will not feel like a fast car until the boost is solidly in. You know what your car feels like right now when you open it up at 2000rpm. if you've ever been in an actual fast car, you will appreciate that the NARB25 is.... not exciting. Well, add some boost and it will be better. But shorten the intake runners and it might not be better at all. It might come out better, but it could end up feeling the same. For me, it's not the 0-X km/h sprints that matter. It is easy to fry the tyres with anything over 200 rwkW. You can't use all the power available in 1st and 2nd anyway, you have to modulate the throttle. What matters is how the car reacts when you're driving in traffic in 4th or 5th and have maybe 2000 rpm on board, and you want/need to add some speed quickly, and don't have time for the downshift. It won't make boost, it will be all NA (at the speeds we're talking about - remember how fast you're going at 2000 in 4th! and don't plan on breaking the limit by too much.) So giving away NA torque is not what I would consider practical for a street car. And retaining that NA torque builds boost faster which makes the car faster. The flashy plenum is not actually better, unless you're looking at a track car where you can keep it on the boil all the time.

      So how much difference does it make you think? Like 1 second in the 0-100?  I was have smaller turbo so hopefully that spools quick GTX2871.  currently it’s NA so you can imagine pretty slow, but I do want fast accusation a little as there’s not many places I’ll be driving where I go over 80 even near me. So 0-60 and 0-80 targets

      Short inlet runners cost quite a bit. Dulls off the off-boost torque, and delays boost onset, because arrival of boost is driven by gas flow is a product of the ability to flow air which is torque. This is the reason that the stock manifolds have longer runners. On a 3L, or bigger, you can usually accept the compromise of giving away some torque because the extra capacity gives you a little extra to waste. But on a smaller motor, there's not a lot there to start with. Example, I swapped RB20 out of my R32, 25NeoDET in its place. The "wall of torque" that I experienced afterwards made it all worthwhile. That's because I came from RB20 land where torque is not a thing. But I would not do anything, anything at all, to reduce the low/mid torque I have now, because I remember what it is like to not have it!
