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.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
