G'day guys.

First question would be, what turbo does stock r33 s2 have? (Please give us good details size, brand,... etc)

the Second question is..

I already purchased my car and one thing came across my mind.

It is a 98 R33, It had HKS Air filter.

I hear the air - induction noise is quite loud, compare to other ones that i driven.

Is this issue with wastegate? or is it just the nature of a HKS Air filter.

I had another r33 skyline with a K&N pod filter before and induction noise wasn't loud as this one.

Done a compression test with this one so i guess it's not leaking for the engine, and i also thought if it had a screamer pipe it should of been louder?

any thoughts?

Cheers !

R33 series 2 should have Nissan on the compressor housing.

Its made by AiResearch, a division of Garrett, should be able to find the code '45v2' written on it.

Don't really know specific details, search '45v2' on this forum you should find some details.

RE: induction noise, nothing to do with the wastegate. The turbo's induction pipe and air filter alters how loud the spooling noise is.

and i also thought if it had a screamer pipe it should of been louder?

What are ya trying to say?

do you have a screamer installed and you don't think its loud enough?

but again, the wastegate/dump, has nothing to do with the induction noise...

Mate, as members above have noted...

When you say it sounds "loud" are you referring to the spooling sound or the sucking sound of the Pod?

I have to say, I have one of the loudest sounding R33's on the road...sounds like a jet ... and I absolutely love it...like others have suggested...this depends on your Turbo piping, Air filter, intercooler and blow-off valve...

Do you not want it to be loud? Simple, get rid of the blow off valve (if you have one) and purchase a stock one and plumb it back. Get rid of the Pod filter (if you have one) and go back to the 'underwater diving' snorkel stock panel filter....and that ought to do it...you should find the car will be very quiet now...and whilst you're at it, get rid of your exhaust too...then it will be less noise!

hah bro you'll know if it has a screamer pipe if you go near the redline and it almost pops your ears :D

yeah and sounds like the exhaust just fell off when it makes full boost, well thats how my exhaust mate describes it lol

personaly I love the noise of my external gate :blink:

cant say the same for the internal gate screamers tho

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
