That can work (gear ratio), but you'll lose out on top end speed and can get expensive.

The best option is to get a ball bearing turbo and tune your ECU. It spools up quicker and you get the added bonus of gaining power up top too.

I'm not sure how much of an difference it will make but I'm fitting the Blitz SBC-iD this weekend so I'll let you know if it brings boost on much quicker.

Apparently in most cases it states 500-1500rpm earlier.

Dump Pipe makes a huge difference.

It didn't really make full boost come on a lot quicker still at say 3000rpm(200rpm less than stock) but it did make the car develop more boost between 2000-3000rpm hence it feels like a smoother power curve not like the old nothing then snap feeling.

I've also fried my clutch I think.... :D Its only 3-6 months old :D

So I wont tell you my driving style to make it quicker down low.

To much Riding off the line I think.

Hrmm.. Which dyno was that on?

That sounds a little high for a Std Ecu & 11psi the average DD Dyno.

I think the average R33 with the same mods but an SAFC or a fuel pressure bleed pull around 170-180rwkw?

In Freebaggins case 206rwkw on 14psi with the Microtech L12 and no AFM.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
