just a quick question for any of the lads @ RPM ..

i have an R33 , pretty much stock as , apart from a k&N air filter and an exhaust.

my question is , i have a TO4 here (not totally sure on specs so im making this harder than it has to be) and im thinking of putting it on to get a few more rwkw's as im pretty bored with the car as is.

what would the approx cost be to install it, and what would have to be done ...eg , manifold / fuel pump / larger injectors....etc

sorry its such an open question, and i have so little info but im just trying to get a rough idea of what the cost will be. if you need any extra info pls let me know:burnout:

cheers

oh PS .. joel , where did ya get your windows tinted and what did it cost ya? just got mine done and was curious to know if i got a good deal... :D

I am currently putting a T04 on my 32 and try and help you, your turbo probably dosent have a wastegate so you will need an external one, depending on the size of the turbo you may be able to modify the stock exhaust manifold to suit, a wastegate will cost about $650 for a new one and to get the manifold done will be about $400 ( im only guessing on this as i did mine myself on my labour is free).

You really need to have the turbo looked at to see if it is worth doing, the one i got was fairly small so it shouldnt be to laggy.

You will need a fuel pump, and your injectors will max out after about 220rwkw. The you need some sort of management either a power fc or microtech plug in which rpm does or one of the hundreds of other ECU's.

I had mine done at Instant Windscreens.

It cost $250 for 35% all round.

It is a metallic tint or somthing that has a lifetime warranty.

It looks good but i'm not happy with the way they did the passengers window.

I asked them to re do it as they slipped with the knife obviously then on the fix the again slipped with the knife right down the bottom so you cant really see it luckly (The gap).

Apart from that the job looks real nice.

Shannon with regards to your Turbo you will have to get some sort of fuel computer for u'r 33 or even RPm's microtech.

With the std turbo freebaggin made just over 200rwkw, with lots of second gear tyre frying action. :D

He has a fmic but..

I have RPM's FMIC and it is nice and tidy, hidden well and works well. :)

But i don't like to show off the bits i have i prefer the Sleeper look :)

hey clint ,

let me know how you go mate .... very keen to see how it turns out. yeah i was gonna get someone to look over it, make sure its in good enuff condition and make sure it is suitable (i know f@ck all about TO4's and what types are best suited to what) i bought it off a mate that was gonna use it on a Vl turbo (G Force if you seen it round) so i thought coz its a similar engine it could be suitable

it doesnt have an external wastegate, so your right i will be needing one of em , want any experiance on doing another manifold?? lol!!

do you know of any fuel pumps that will do ther trick , will bosch ones that everyone one uses do the trick? .. also do you know of a cost on the pump and injectors?

would a pigy back comp do the job? shame the stocky comp cant just be re programmed.

sorry for all the questions :D

joel,

i got 20% tint .. metallic , lifetime warantee etc. got the car done for $200 so i guess i didnt do too bad.

what did the fmic cost ya bud?

cheers again

shannon

Hi Shannon,

Please pm me at [email protected] with your contact no. I'll ring you asap tomorrow morn of you like.

I have some prices for you in regards to the wastegate, manifold, an extra injector and fuel pump etc. U will not be dissapointed:)

BTW I was just speaking to the SA distributer of Haltech ECU and he can do me a good price for the newly released E-11 unit.

But yeah, the Microtech would be the more popular one at the moment.

Thanks,

Ivan.

Clint,

This is gonna be the latest reply Ive ever made to anyone. Regarding the springs it went well. I actually sold it to someone for a profit, which is unbelievable, because I wasnt even planning to sell it and he offered me $200. Apparently he needed it to go past Regency as well so I didnt refuse. But it is justified in a way because the guy was buying and selling GTRs for a profit.

Ivan

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
