bigger fuel pump

aftermarket ecu or something like a nistune

bigger injectors

z32 afm (not to worry if your going for a map sensor from something like a vipec)

bigger turbo

3 or 3 1/2 inch exhaust

FMIC

either a metal intake pipe or do the mod to keep the standard one from closing

a boost controller

probably need new coil packs

id be changing the spark plugs too

all new hose clamps - the standard ones will blow off

pod filter

ive probably forgotten a few things but yeah that just the engine, at that power level ud want to look into suspention & brakes too or atleast brakes, at 450hp a rebuild with forgies would be a good idea or just drive it till it blows then rebuild, standard rb25 will do a reliable 400rwhp

hey all :yes:

im just woundering the best way to make about 400~450hp, from a stock r33 :D money is no limit, but i dont want much more power then that

cheers :)

what'd you do win lotto or something? :ph34r: wish i had no limit on money lol.

Walk into a workshop, tell them the exact same thing

Drop a deposit, pick up car and pay balance

lol if only it was that easy!!!

There's no fun in that at all though! Half the fun of building a fun/fast car is failing the first time then fixing something yourself and reaping the benefits! :ph34r:

He doesnt have a budget and this would clearly be the best way

Giving it to a professional to do it right the first time so you dont have to spend $$ and do it again ;)

He will reap the said benefits when his driving the same car that feels totally different :)

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
