Auto Skyline with 10-11psi, 3' cat back and pod = 136 rwkw. Just got it dyno recently and haven't had any problem boosting to 10 psi.

I don't think it is the auto box you have to worry about just yet, but more you turbo because of the ceramic thingy. I think it depends on the condition of your turbo, not long ago I read another thread that some guy blow up his turbo and he was running the same boost as everyone else here.

If you search this forum (or SDU's for that matter) you'll find quite a few threads on how much boost to run on an R33 turbo, about 12psi seems to be as high as you wanna go is the general concensious (sp?) I think. Some turbos simply last thou even at 18psi plus, where as I've seen some fail at 12psi... back pressure, heat, clogged oil or water lines, theres a few factors involved.

As for setting the timing, on an R32 and possibly the (series one) R33 theres a little loop of black wire which goes into the ignition amp, this is for coil/cyl 1 and some timing lights will work off that, but its not very accurate. Removing your centre cover to get access to the coils, and then lifting coil 1 is the better way. You just put a short HT lead between the coil and spark plug and use a timing light off that. Much more accurate. Factory timing should be about 15 degrees BTDC.

My first (R32) Skyline wouldn't go past this without detonating, my second R32 Skyline would run 20 degrees even at 1.1 bar without issue. What my R33 is running I have no idea as my timing light packed a sad I just turned the CAS slightly counter clockwise and listened carefully for any pinging... I'll check it properly later but the quick and nasty way is advance till you hear it ping then back it off slightly.

Btw, remember to keep the coil grounded when checking the timing when using the HT lead. You will also need to unplug the TPS definately in an auto, unsure with a manual, but I think thats still the case.

My auto runs well at 180rwkw (a bit of a disapointing fugure)

I run 13 PSI, a PFC, FMIC, 3" exhaust and rising rate reg. My injectors are now at 70% (so i have plenty of room to increase power)

I am hoping a HKS2530 turbo will get me a lot closer to 250rwkw. I will also include a trans cooler and an electronic line pressure switch to make for crisp shifts and a cooler trans.

such low numbers for those mods ... 136rwkw ... i've seen manuals get 180rwkw ...

think you got something mixed up, dont think ne r33gtst with cat back and pod filter at 10psi has 180 kw at the wheels

more like 150-160 max

dont forget that you will always have less power through stall converters compared to clutchs for manuals.

eg your average 160rwKW should be 175 through a manual trans.

i am running 9 PSI on mine with 170rwKW. running rich as well as i have stock ECU.

auto, but mind you. SHE is a bullet

Well to give you an idea hippy, the dyno I went on my car made 136 rwkw, but I saw an R34 GTT (manual) stock on the same dyno and made 115 rwkw.

Then another R34 GTT went on with exhaust only I think and made 125 rwkw.

So I can't be too disappointed with my figure.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      HG's high flow is not "bolt on". The core is shorter, moves the comp cover rearwards in the engine bay. means you have to deal with the inlet plumbing a little bit. This is probably something to consider with every "bolt on" turbo anyway.
