I have an 94 ECR33 Skyline GTS-t and I am looking for advoce on power ups for it.

It already has a greddy manual boost controller (wound to 11psi), Greddy FM intercooler, 3.5 inch cat back HKS exhaust and a HKS pod filter.

I am thinkin next for:

Sard Fuel Press Reg

Sard 550cc Injectors

HKS 3037 Turbo (or Garrett equivalent)

Top mount turbo manifold ???

Front facing Intake plenum ???

Electronic boost controller ???

I would like some info on where I am able to buy these parts and if someone can advise me on which brands to choose for the manifolds and a boost controller.

Thanks,

Shaun.

Sard Fuel Press Reg- dont use one

Sard 550cc Injectors-Ive got 800cc gives me room in the future

HKS 3037 Turbo (or Garrett equivalent)- I went bigger (T04) which is a bit laggy but punches like Mike Tyson, the standard one high flowed is good though.

Top mount turbo manifold ???- Like mine but looks out there if you get pulled over and cops pop the hood.

Front facing Intake plenum ???- I got a Greedy knock off which is preforming well and much cheaper

Electronic boost controller ???-Profec B 2

I use a LINK ECU to control the thing

It all depends what you want the car to do, drags, circuit, daily or something of a all rounder which will be good at most things you throw at it.

Work out what you want your car for, then you can work out how much power is needed(over about 280kw needs forged internals if you want it to last) and what you need to get there and what is just wasting your money, but first do your brakes, quality tyres and suspension which is the most important factor of the build up.

S15 Spec R Injectors(480cc) - would easily support well over 300kw. And it would be cheaper then new sards.

Top mount mani - not necessary but would make a difference bigtime.

If running an internal gate then would pay to get a decent EBC as you def dont want creeping.

Imho - dont waste time modifying the factory plenum. I would take that money and spend it on a decent cluch.

Also you might need to upgrade coils then too(only if its breaking under boost). GL

Get a highflowed stock turbo eg a GCG or slide (depends how much cash you have) you mentioned the HKS turbo so you can afford the gcg. That way it looks stock and you don't have to modify as much. Also if you try and max the 3037 out I don't know how long your motor will last if its still got the original bearings etc. Keep the standard intake and get either a R34 sidemount of a FMIC.

I'd then organise some aftermarket ECU or some way to tune the setup, a clutch to handle the power and maybe a diff/rims if you are still running stock ones.

edit: oh yeah if you have stock suspension Id personally be fixing this, the clutch, diff, rims etc first before seeking more power.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
