Silver 33

Quick question guys, is 210rwkw @11 psi possible with those mods or is the seller exaggerating? I'm really only familiar with the approximate power increases of bolt ons so I don't know what effect pushrods, pistons and a crank has on the power output.

Cheers.

It is possible to get a reading that high on a dyno, but the reality is it isn't making any more power than the average 33 that reads 180-200kw on other dynos.

Looks like a pretty schmick example, I would make sure you get proof and evidence of the rebuild though, ultimately I would call the workshop that did the work and see what they have to say as they are almost always completely unbiased in these situations.

Respray and rebuild would have cost ~$5-6k at minimum so it is good value for money.

depends on what turbo it is running, it may be a highflow. the engine has been rebuilt so the compression may be a bit higher. i'm also guessing it probably has some form of aftermarket ecu, especially since it says it has an extra injector (crude way of adding in more fuel). i'd say that it is entirely possible for it to be making 210kw at 11psi. only way to find out more would be to talk to the guy.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
