R33 Rb25de Gts-4

hey all ive looked on the forums with no luck, i have purchased a r33 rb25 DE GTs-4 the all wheel drive version, now its pretty slow as you could expect with not being the turbo version. does anyone know of any mods i can do to get a power upgrade with leaving it N/A??

Exhaust.

Cams.

That's about it really.

hmm fair enough, would a tune get much more outta it? or even better fuel economy??

hey man, congrats on the new car. I owned a black s2 gts-4 automatic many years ago and there isnt much you can do for power.

I had an exhaust, cold air intake and unichip ecu dyno tune and i got 78 awkw.

Best mods is to keep the stock airbox and put a knn panel in there, an exhaust and thats about it for cost vs gains.

Although the unichip gained 10-15kw in the midrange

its no powerhouse but handles well; I had some koni shocks and whiteline sways and it handled like it was on rails

don't expect much in the way of power gains or fuel economy gains. you have bought pretty much the slowest r33 on the market (the rb20e powered skyline is slower, but not very common) due to it being the heaviest. to improve the fuel economy you could check that the o2 sensor is working properly. if it isn't then replacing it will get you better economy. if it's working then you won't get better economy by replacing it.

as for advice for getting more power, my only real advice would be to sell it and buy a falcon or commodore or various 4 cylinder cars that are faster than a natro GTS4

haha, depending on how much cash you have to throw around, you can either go with the small mods like exhaust and cams to get small power or you could go all out and get the engine rebuilt to make a couple hundred HP and still staying NA. but how deep your pockets go?

Thanks all for the replies dam well i guess no power improvements for me it was just a go to work car anyways and as for sell it and buy a new car i already own a cv8 monaro with 350 horsies at the wheels so thats my serious car haha instead of updating my skyline i mote just charge the monaro lol
