Good to hear that this has worked well for you mate. Now time to dyno it to have a power figure to work with :P

Well, I got it dynoed a week ago, completely stock turbo 5psi, 134rwkw which is pretty basic for a stock rb25det (auto), i was told boost it to 10psi could get another 30rwkw maybe? will have to find out :)

good o hear :yes:

Hypothetically i get an increase of 30RWKW, that will make it 165RWKW, what would be the next best thing to do to this engine to make it say hit the 200RWKW mark and be safe for stock engine and running gear?

just after some informed opinions, the next best mod or change to get it to the 200 RWKW mark :)

high flow turbo or a garrett aftermarket turbo GT3071x

thanks, i was hoping there could be other mods without changing the turbo? or can you get a decent turbo for a few hundred and just straight swap? :) just after 200rwkw :P

If you haven't already:

  • 3" exhaust turbo-back exhaust
  • a front-mount intercooler

That with an ECU tune should see you around 200rwkw

Hell, my R34 was doing 182.7rwkw with just a 3" exhaust, and an intercooler - still on factory boost solenoid (saw peaks out to 8psi).

I've since fitted a 10psi R32 actuator; I would hope mine will do in-excess of 200rwkw once my ECU is tuned (I have an un-tuned nistune fitted)

Unfortunately in your case with an R33, a nistune is a less straight forward exercise, but an ECU (R32/Z33-based nistune, PFC, etc) should be your next step assuming you already have an exhaust, FMIC. This will help get rid of the factory overly-rich AFRs. It might also be worth considering your fuel-pump if this hasn't been replaced already. They do tend to wear, and require replacement.

Hi, yes i have FMIC and CAI and 3inch turbo back+hi flow cat, stock 5psi actuator seen 134rwkw, now i have r32 actuator im hoping at least 30rwkw increase, and then push for another 30 with a tune or something without changing turbos, surely you can reach 200RWKW off a stock rb25det with little mods I have mentioned? thanks

And then for some strange reason, at some point after these mods 200kw just wont satisfy any more. Keep in mind that everything else on the car will need replacing/upgraded sooner or later if the power output is increased significantly.

Once you make the decision to modify your car, there is no turning back.

Just a warning haha

I ran my car with the stock turbo on 12.5psi making roughly 215rwkw. The supporting mods were, Coilpacks, FMIC, Turbo back exhaust, Power FC, 740cc injectors (however you won't need to upgrade injectors or AFM to hit 200 rwkw). So a small list of mods should see that power figure :D

just chuck it on a hub dyno and make 200 as is!?

heey guys, just wondering since changing the actuator to R32 should I get a tune? like the car runs quicker but still average at the 0-60 mark? can i tune my standard ecu at all? will it make much difference? or wat should i, could I do to make the car have more response?

mate, take this advice onboard and run with it coming from sum1 who has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on cars in the past 5 years...

like a few other members said once u get to that "200kw" mark u NOW want once u acheive it u wil want 250, then 300 n so on, TRUST US, u wil, its a like a drug lol

go straight for a power fc, easy to tune and retune afta other mods r put in place (always pop up for sale on here and ebay)

next would b fuel pump and z32 afm

afta that id go coil packs, and direct replacment injectors

and finally turbo (either garret or precision)

if i were u id save all ur penny and do this at once, yes it may cost arounfd 5grand but if u do 1 thing at a time, retuning it everytime to support the next mod

u wil spend thousands just on tuning when u could b spending that on quality upgrade mods and get a 1 off tune...

beauty of have say 250-300rwkw is if u want that 200kw u want just turn the boost down (high boost switch is fun n convenient :)

i think every1 here wil agree with this post, save time, money and go have fun....

Yep totally agree with the post above. Spend all the cash on buying all the upgrades then save and have them put in or DIY and then get a tune. Otherwise you will end up paying a crazy amount on a mod upgrade and tune.

Most things you won't worry about getting a tune with, for example putting that actuator on, you really don't need a tune but look at getting an aftermarket ecu as the stock ecu's are no good for tuning :D

So you want more and more and more power, and a GTR style body kit .... why don't you just buy the right car = sell your Gtst and buy a GTR. It is the only real answer. As everyone has said above, you will continue spending significant amounts of money to get more power .... start on the right foot and just buy a GTR!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
