I have a S1 R33 gts t automatic

and have fitted bilstein suspension, jasma 3" cat back, and a KN pod. For some time now i have flirted with the idea of adding some type of piggyback! Out of all the many options out there i like the PRofec e-01 and was very pleased to see the abundence of info on one of the threads......thanks guys :D (and the e-manage)

i am trying not to aspire to a 12 second line simply because i want eat and pay rent etc! I simply would like to up boost! how high boost can you go on the standard turbo and core?

the only thing i will consider getting after the piggy back is a fmic.

is the PRofec e-01 the best way to go is there a better option for me?

hey pete

I dunno much about the profec e-01, but I assume that u're looking for a fuel management system of some sort. A good piggyback one is the apexi S-AFC range. I put one on my car a few months back...it gave me 66rwhp right off the bat. I couldn't complain.

It won't increase boost though, but it will increase the power output on whatever boost level u are at.

standard turbo and core should be able to handle up to 13psi if I am not mistaken. If anyone can correct me on that, go ahead.

hope this helps

Pete forget about your ECU at this stage and finish off your exhaust. Going from a 3" Cat-back exhaust to a full (front/dump/cat/back) 3" exhaust I gained 10rwkw.

Then taking the boost from the standard 7psi to 11-12psi is another 10rwkw gain.

yeah what ben said... get a dump and front pipe and a 3" cat (round $700-800 for that lot) and defenately get a new intercooler before even thinking about management, Australia's climates really screw with forced induction without decent cooling... then, with the series 1 turbo, you could wind up to 14psi safely and you'd be looking at around 160ish rwkw with those mods.

As mentioned above, do the dump and get a front mount and a simple boost controller. And a boost gauge would help too.

The e-01 is a boost controller, not a piggy back, the e-manage is the fuel/ignition computer.

ok thanks guys... i will get hold of the down pipe and front pipe to finish of the exhaust! IF ANY ONE KNOWS OF ANY FOR SALE PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

as far as the front mount goes i am avoiding it simply because of the cost and that i will probbaly have to replace the front bumper for airflow and room! i would think that it would be impossible to fit a gtr core behind the s1 bumper??

Hi Gson,

I get most of my exhaust mods done by Glenroy Exhaust in Campbellfield, recently got my front pipes done for the GTR their. No offence to BATMBL but can't see them doing any better job than the guys at Glenroy Exhaust & Paul always looks after me on price $$ 350 fitted.

Ask for Paul - "if you like" tell him Simon with the GTR sent you

PS: They been in the industry for years, & most of their work is performace stuff. The guys their really know their stuff.

Intercooler wise the trust R-SPL tube and fin core replacement would offer improved performance over stock and fits in the same position for about $900.

The airflow of the original postion is much better than a frount mounting but, has space limits.

See how you go without the intercooler upgrade first.

Totally agreee with benm.

Since you have a 3" cat back system, get one of batmbl's 3" dump/front pipe. It certainly did the trick on mine then get the SAFC to tune the air flow.

the R-SPL is the tube and fin core. The R-spl core is the one you get with the trust intercooler that bolts in the factory position (ie: it's a side mount not a front mount). Front mount intercooler kits are availible in a variety of core spec and sizes.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
