In my opinion, you won't get a nice PULL from a stock R33 until you do some basic mods, e.g. Pod air filter, Blow off valve, front mounted intercooler and possibly some new Spitfire coilcovers and NGK spark plugs - this is what I call the basic mods. After these, you will experience a good hike in power. Added with a boost controller you'll be hitting the 200 kws mark and from here you will feel the joy.

Modify your car slowly as once you've done everything you'll soon want to move on to another car.

a blow off valve, coilpacks and some and some aren't gonna give you any power, and those mods won't get you a legitamite 200rwkw from a 33 gts-t

Yer, I've taken mine for granted! driving around a honda prelude for a few months now while my engine is out and im tidying up everything and upgrading a few things, trust me once the bug bites you will be burning money, i cant wait to put my engine back in and be able to feel the boost again!

ON TOPIC : I felt the pull in my stock 33 GTST only with a hks exhaust although it was my first turbo car, you get use to it fairly quick! Alot of first turbo owners think they have lost power once they get use to it lol.

first car; 33 auto/non turbo. .. lemon of a car.. slow as a bOat.

2nd car 3 months later. r33 gts-t. when i first jumped in it. its like HOLLY SHIT I CANT HANDLE THIS POWER its too fast.

6 months down the track.. its slow. i want to mod it..

then got a v8 for a few days.. peice of sht. need a turbo.

got my skyline back :D like anything, you get used to it if u use it enough

p.S YEAH. you THINK UR CARS GONE SLOWER so u go get a service. b uts its actually you just getin use to teh car. haha

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
