lol. i only weigh 64kg.

so mid to high 200's with the basic mods that i have? i could run 10psi as i have a r32 actuator kicking about but im just worried about the turbo spitting its impellor fins.. and i dont have the cash to upgrade to a hks turbo. i did a boost run this afternoon an it made exactly 7psi on full throttle with standard 25 actuator in 4th gear with no boost controller or stock boost solenoid, just straight boost to the actuator.

Stock turbo will be fine at 10psi dude

Seriously, whip the spare out, any spare tools. Given the weight of the car and the hp your making it wont make much difference. Fibreglass gurads and hood might help a bit.

Stock turbo will be fine at 12psi.

Yeah, I wondered where the stains on my Bride seats came from

This thread is halarious.

The only "practical" things to remove to save a bit of weight (however given that your car is stock I don't see the point as you will notice nothing.)

Spare wheel

Factory jack and tools

Factory floormats

Boot lining

Problem is the rear of the car is not the main area that you want a weight saving. The front is where all the weight is on a R33 and what causes it to understeer, thats the hard area to remove weight from.

Honestly one of the best upgrades weight saving wise on a R33 is replacing the factory bonnet with a lighter carbon item. Good weight saving of 10 odd kg (dependent on quality of bonnet) and you are removing weight from the front. Problem is the legality side of things and the quality of the bonnet.

There are heaps of weight saving oppotunities if safety and legality aint a concern, hence for a track car.

My 33 has the alloy tech in it dont forget so all alloy block is awesome for saving weight

[PM-R33]

When you say Alloytech do you mean the Alloytech V6 found in Holden Commodores?

If so I don't think that counts for the purposes of this thread
