Ok so im looking at doing a bit of work on my skyline. (r33 gts-t series 2) Looking for about 220-230 kw atw. According to my dyno sheet that i got with the car i have exactly 200kw atw. (anybody know is this is decent for a pretty much stock skyline or not?)

I want to put as little work and money into it as possible while still getting reasonable performance. My questions are as follows..

1. Should I get my turbo high flowed or buy a new one? I want it to pretty much bolt onto the stock manifold. ( If so, where do i get new turbo or get my one high flowed and plus how much $$ looking at?)

2. also i will need to change my ecu? or just get mine remapped? once again, where can i get this done, what do i use, and how much am i looking at? btw i am in perth.

3. if i change or highflow turbo, is there anything else i will need to modify for it to run properly?

my mods are as follows..

-full high flow 3" stainless steal exhaust .

-Front mount intercooler

- pod filter

-lowered suspension

- super heavy duty single plate clutch

and thats pretty much it besides boost gauge etc...

any and all help is appreciated!

the problem is going from 200rwkw to 230rwkw or even 250rwkw is a $5k exercise

are you sure you aren't happy with 200rwkw?

a 200rwkw gtst if setup properly is pretty quick and should beat most cars on the street

you cant really get a turbo for 230rwkw, its usually 250rwkw

a highflow or HKS GT-RS will get you there

but then to support it you need

injectors

air flow meter

fuel pump

stand alone ecu or decent remap

so its hard to get any more rwkw without a decent outlay - ie $5k inc the turbo purchase itself

if you really really want that power go for it, but its not cheap

highflow or GT-RS is about the same result

highflow is guaranteed to mate up

GT-RS you can sell your old stocker for $100

but then you may have to play around with exhaust to make it fit

but then you call your friends you have a HKS turbo

both are "new" and no difference as far as reliablity etc

oh so 200 kw atw is pretty decent? sorry im sorta noob.. my previous r33 "felt" quicker , no idea why but defenitly wasnt 200rwkw. What is "Stock" rwkw for r33 gts-t? yeh im happy with my cars performance but would be even happier if i could get a bit more out of it. And i defenitly dnt have 5k to spare. anyway of pushing another 10rwkw? without stepping into the thousdands of dollars mark? Also u say "if u set up properly" any ideas also on how to get the most out of my currents set up?

peak rwkw doesnt make a car quick, average power does

what does your dyno chart look like and how is it tuned?

you can 200rwkw and then you can have "200rwkw"

its all in the tune

stock ECR33 is 140rwkw

the only way to push 10rwkw is to make the turbocharger work harder, or lean out the mixtures, or change your wheel size

most are not a good idea, a stock turbo at 200rwkw is pretty much on the failure level already - ie around 12psi ish

okay i just spoke to old owners, and APARENTLY they gave me the wrong dyno sheet when they sold me the car. they had 7 skylines) and ive only had my car for about 2 months. I knew it didnt feel 200rwkw... new dyno sheet says 201.5rwhp**** my bad BIG rookie mistake. but i knew there was no way it was hitting 200rwkw especially with those little mods. so now my quesiton is.. anyway to push that without having to spend thousands of dollars?

(sorry for wasting ur time on previous questions :// )

You 'should' get a power fc. I got mine with a hand controller for $1000

Then a z32 afm. I got mine second hand for $100

Then some big injectors. I got mine for $500 refurbished.

All that with a bleed valve will get you another 50 rwhp or so but it will stress your turbo a lot more.

Mine made 189 rwkw or 253 rwhp on 12 psi on the stock turbo.

Unfortunately there is no cheap way out of it like paulr33 already said.

if you'd like to maybe purchase my hiflow i might be able to work a deal out with you, mines already made 215kw and would probably make upto 230 and bit more, im looking at upgrading to a gt30,

for ECU recommendations Im actually leaning towards a vipec or an ecu that can take ethanol sensor feedback for fuel map trimming so you can have the 'ANY FUEL' choice in the future...

I have a PowerFC and its fine, but I wish I could use the ethanol sensor and just use whatever fuel is available... that is E85 or 98...

keep doing some reading OP, sounds like you have lots to learn about upgrades and costs....

hey bit off topic sorry, but where do you get those graphics on your car? and is it expensive? looks good

yeh that dsnt sound too bad of an idea but if I do purchase say ur high flow turbo what else will I need to support it besides aftermarket ECU? and how much will labour set me back?

We dont have ethanol at the pump in Perth. Still a valid point tho.

I would take a stab at him getting the graphics from the place that his signature is advertising?

To properly support the high flow from stock you would need computer, injectors, z32 afm, fuel pump, front mount (and oil and water lines?) and it wouldn't hurt to have a decent dump pipe. You already have a couple of these things I see. You cant run bigger injectors or the z32 afm without the computer but you can install the computer and make around 200 rwkw without swapping the injectors or the afm. They will be maxed out tho and for the injectors its not a good thing. My injectors hit 100 percent at 190rwkw or thereabouts

    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
