Hey,

My brother has just put a bigger turbo, bigger injectors and a Z32 AFM on his R33 Gts-t. I think the turbo is GT35 size, not sure of the brand. The car hasn't been tuned and the ecu is a Power FC. He was thinking of driving it around tomorrow.... Im thinking that this would be a super bad idea and can damage the engine? So I was wondering if he could drive it at all? Could he drive it if he didnt hit boost?

Will it be ok to drive around at low revs, or will it Tick Tick BOOM!

Thanks :thumbsup:

As if he's gonna drive it around without hitting boost! And if it isnt tuned for the AFM then he will be lucky to get out of the driveway. But its up to him. It will be a cool story for you to tell us when he blows his engine anyway! look forward to it !

+1 for won't start.

Great choice... GT35 on a stock RB25... Its going to go tick tick boom anyway.

Good luck.

Another guy on here running a GT35 on an unopened motor, 25psi 475rwhp, 3 years. All depends on your driving. As a daily driver it will last.

To OP, as others have said, it won't start with those injectors. AFM you can get it working in the PFC, same as injectors if you know how to set them. It will be driveable to get to a tuner. I drove my car with my Z32 and SS2 turbo to the tuner then had them fit the injectors in.

A while ago I had a tune on my power FC for 200rwkw (stock injectors, stock turbo). A year later I had 740cc injectors put in, along with a high flow turbo. I then tried to drive it un-tuned to the tuners. It was running like crap, black smoke was pouring out, it was spluttering and I couldn't go over 30km, it made it less then 1km before the car completely died. Flooded the engine, had to get a tow..

Not worth it.

    • Hey all just wanting some advice. I’ve just compression tested my RB25det and these are the following results  Cyl 1 - 135psi Cyl 2 - 135psi Cyl 3 - 120psi Cyl 4 - 140psi Cyl 5 - 130psi Cyl 6 - 125psi   do these numbers seem ok.  Thanks in advance 
    • I must say - this is how I picture all R31s!
    • Rust repairs completed, doors back on! pretty much totally back together running now. All future repairs will be fiddly wiring getting everything back up to road condition.  hasn’t  taken that long considering the condition I got the sub. note my helpers keeping the back seat warm 😂
