This is my car, the question marks are things i'm not certain about because my mechanic has organised it not me.

Car: 1993 R33 GTS-t

Under the hood:

Engine: RB30det (RB30/25)

Internals: RB30 polished and balanced crank, Eagle Rods, HKS? pistons, Tomei Cams with adjustable cam gears, RB25 port and polished head, ? valve springs, Trust GReddy Plenum, ? Metal Gasket, Custom extractors and exhaust manifold. See through timing belt cover, N1 oil pump, and nismo water pump.

Induction: GT35/40 roller bearing turbine, with custom blade angles to spool up at 3000rpm, nürburg spec intercooler, Internal wastegate ?mm, custom airbox and pod filter to look as stock.

Fuel System: 1000cc injectors, GReddy fuel Rail, surge tank, Bosch fuel pump, braided lines, splitfire coil packs.

Management: Apexi power FC with hand controller.

Exhaust: 3.5 inch straight through and 9.5? inch cannon.

Gearbox: Rebuilt RB25 gearbox with strengthened 1st and 2nd gears.

Clutch: Exeedy twin plate with push button.

Diff: R200 2 way diff?

Brakes: R33 GTR calliper kit with drilled and slotted rotors.

Suspension:?

Wheels: 19x8.5 inch decorsa all round, running michilin sports pilot.

Performance estimate: 410rwkw, 900Nm, power to weight of 0.304kw/kg.

Now i've aimed for 400+rwkw, with the above modifications, should this be attainable, and if not, what should i look at doing.

The head has stage 1 cams and will be able to rev to 8,500rpm with the oil pump, water pump and nitrated crank.

the gt35/40 i heard is perfect for the engine, and the early spool should make it pretty awesome, i've read about a r31 called hypogt getting 480rwkw bt he had a 45mm external wastegate and smaller injectors, will the limitation of the internal wastegate, be an Achilles heal? I'm trying to make this look stock, so as far as a cop is concerned my mods will be exhaust and intake plenum.

the turbo will be low mount and in a bag and the pod filter in a box that looks like standard so this should pass the canary cops.

I am unsure what to think as i am a first year mechanic apprentice and many class members have said i'll be lucky to get 350rwkw, have they underestimated the RB30det or have i over estimated?

Just wondering, if at all, you thought to take a read of the 400rwkw/GT35 thread already created in this section, that was the top post...

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Re...5r-t287217.html

It answers pretty much all your questions which are well, the same. Please have a read of it. Especially the part about the exhaust size.

IMO you wont make 400rwkw internal gate.

Two other points.

1. 480rwkw through a GT35 - Not a chance. Even on C16 I'm dubious. It would have to be modified.

2. Being you are from Vic - i give you my word, if you are pulled over, you will not pass.

I was defected for a low mounted GT30, this was 5 years ago. Knowledge has spread far wider. This was factory everything else mostly.

You on the other hand have every other cop/EPA magnet parts - fuel rails, braided lines, and exhaust that is going to be so loud you'll be heard a block away.

If you think exhaust/plenum are the only "catch points" You are going to be in for a rude awakening.

Police are not as "dumb' as they were 6-7 years ago, I've noticed first hand a steady increase in awareness of all things modification.

If you get EPA'd, actually, don't even think about it... it's unspeakable badness for you.

If you want a legal 400rwkw - there are much better ways to do it and be MUCH more stealth, almost to the point of appearing 100% factory :)

question isn't the legality issue, i have a few tricks for making it appear stock for that, the problem is, with my build am i dreaming to think i can get 410rwkw with a low mount internal wastegate setup like the 1 i listed, i read that post and got the rest of the info, i just want to know if it's possible, could i get more, or will i ultimately get less like my fellow apprentices believe.

Well it around 650-700hp, so 350rwkw, perhaps a bit more.

Its really dependent on when the back pressure becomes a problem, you could look into having the rear ported a bit, dunno how much gain you'll see there though.

IMO put a 26/30 in there, -5's, look 100% factory/400rwkw/easily engineered.

so how much is attainable with an internal wastegate?

Hey Hakon, where u from? Judging by your name it sounds like you're Norwegian, in that case you've got a neighbour here from Swede, building a RB30/26 :D

Good luck with the project!

Cheers!

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
