i have standard rb26dett engine on gtr33 with bleed valve, power fc, adj cams, high flow 3 3/4' exhaust and just got a pair of -9's from Osaka Imports today for $1500

Just wondering what kW am i looking at once the turbo's and dump pipes are installed....

and how much without the dump pipes.....

been told that by installing dump pipes, it makes a difference....

need to know what other supporting minor mods can help to increase the power......

thanks guys :)

Your first concern should be reliability and power being well and truely second. Once all bolted together get a good tuner to sort out a reliable tune.

As for the dump pipe difference, I guess it depends which dumps you have bought - sure they can make a difference but by how much depends on how good they are.

280AwKw would be safe, look upwards of 320AwKw but less reliable, depends how the car is tuned and where the power comes on....no point having 320 when your power is upward of 8000rpm for eg. 280-290 would be suffice with the set up and parts you have.

Yeah, im looking around 300 mark atleast....will see once it go on the tune....

I definately agree with Ant97GTR though, there is a big difference in making big power and making it and still keeping the reliability, take to a tuner who knows these cars inside out!

Where did you take yours to?

Many people told me that with the -9 on stock motor will be around 280 to 300 kW

I wonder how urs made 300+!!!

very concern and will like to know if you did anything else to yours....

Mine had a built engine, head work, cams, cam gears, 4" exh from front pipe back.

I have seen same setups making 290, friend of mine in his R32 GTR is making 328 with more boost, was tuned from a place in NSW just before he bought it, so i would say a little more boost and head work makes the difference.

Simon from NT Performance Turbocharging in Footscray, they had built some pretty serious GTR's and GTS-T's thats why i took mine there, if your keen i can pass their number on and you can have a chat to them about what was done.

I dare say that yours with head work perhaps a slightly bigger exhaust would make more

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • 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.
