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.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
