Hi All

I am new at the skyline scene, trying to gather enough info so i can make better decisions

below is my dyno graph, dyno was done on 24th june 2010, car has FMIC and pod filter, car has not been tuned since

i got it, no other mods are done, is this expected power ?? is it too low for a 1997 R33 GTS-T

what should be the next steps to achive my target power figure of 250 rwkw, an estimated cost

thank you

148kw is fairly ordinary from 8psi, check that you don't have a tiny compliance cat choking up the exhaust. Might be worth investing in a high flow catalytic converter, or a full turbo back exhaust (or a catback at least)

To chase 250kw, you are going to need to get a aftermarket ECU and get your stock turbo highflowed (then you can bump up the pressure, as you can't go higher than 10psi safely with the stock turbo wheels). Then to support 250kw, I don't think the stock injectors are up to the task, you will either need bigger injectors or a fuel pressure regulator to squeeze the most out of your existing injectors.

Power sounds right for factory exhaust.

Honestly - use the search function.

The ole "250rwkw - How do i get it" is a common common question.

From a bone stock car, to do it reliably with middle range parts you are looking @ $10,000 IMO.

Thats everything from better tyres, hi-flow turbo to exhaust & injectors.

the most rwkw you will achieve least expensively is around 170 - 180rwkw, once you get to this stage you need to start looking at turbos and injectors, ecu's etc witch is money money money.

youll get there with a 3"zorst and proper dumps/fronts, along with bumping the boost to 10-12psi (the most before you start having issues)

  • 3 weeks later...

See I'd say put the turbo in first, you want be able to boost it yet,which kind of defeats the purpose.

But at least then when you have your injectors and ecu the turbo is already done though...Thats how I did it anyway

IMO Its no use putting the ecu in first cause you,d have to get it tuned, and then pay to get it tuned again after your turbo which is wasted $$$..But putting a turbo in is pretty straight forward if its just a hi-flo, and even at 7psi will still pull harder than you are at 12psi now...

Because a it's overated german shite IMHO

I know a guy with a 70s porsche with 700,000kms on it...original engine

if you spent 80k on a GTST and it didnt beat a porsche your doning something wrong lol

True, but ive seen people do it

Luckily i can wipe the floor with a Porsche then :thumbsup:

No doubt, but will your car pass a pit test??

My point is 80k will get you plenty of cars like an evo or better, that are ready to go...And just as fast as alot of these money pit skylines

But it's better build quality :thumbsup:

And what's wrong with German precision?

M3s are no lame ducks either and then there are 335i with twin turbo.

Arguably nice cars!

The fun starts when you can smoke a Ferrari in the lower 12 sec range.

Well im doing 251kws on mine and i was required to do this:

ECU: Either a Nistune, PFC or VIPEC i choose PFC

Exhaust: 3inch all the way with a highflow cat

Cooler: return flow cooler

Turbo: Stock highflow with a .63 rear housing

Ignition: Splitfire coilpacks unless your factory ones are still good

induction: stock air box with a highflow panel filter or pody

Air flow: z32 or a Q45 i choose a z32

injection: i choose to highflow but i would recommend proper ones like nismo,sard 550cc's or so

fuel pump if your one is about to die, change it to a BOCH 040

do all of these and you'l be doing some good power on standard internals.

Hi!

Would you recommend a high flow turbo, or rather buy a 'proper' one?

Cheers,

Andrew

Highflows are great. Stock location, no exhaust modding. Come with everything you need to bolt it on.

Plus, all you aussies love it when it still looks factory cos your laws are a bit on the average side. Were heading that way at a guess too. So thats a big bonus in that respect.

I dont know what they go for new these days, but i dare say they would be cheaper than the Garret/HKS equivalents?

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
