Hey, I originally had this setup in my R31 but decided it was time to upgrade and get something with better handling, so stripped the r31 and scrapped it.. Got offered my mates S1 gunmetal grey 33 for a price I couldn't refuse so I pick that up in 3 weeks...

Currently it just has intercooler, Hiflow turbo, 3" exhaust, microtech ect and puts out 180rwkw... But I want more....

So against all the haters on here about SOHC, I'm putting my setup into it cause it's already done, and itll be abit different...

So this stuff is what's going into it:

Engine Type: rb30et

Exhaust: gt3582r, 38mm wastegate, himount steampipe heatwrapped and ceramic coated manifold.

Intake: JPC plenum, 880cc injectors, XF throttle body.

Head: ported, wade 1147c camshaft, machined lifter blocks, crow double valve springs.

Block: ACL Race main and rod bearings, hypatec pistons, moly rings, ARP head studs and rod bolts.

Gearbox: r33 5 speed, 4puk brass button clutch with solid centre.

Interior: standard apart from water temp, oil pressure, and boost gauges, haltech duel stage shiftlight, switches for line lockers, ecu and ign power, and isolation switch.

Other Mods: 2L surge tank, twin Bosch 044 pumps, rising rate reg, remote oil filter and cooler, power steering cooler.

Setup is good enough for 350rwkw on 20psi.

It's just a streeter and drifter for now until I can get cage installed, then I'm going to do some hill climbs aswell..

I'll post up pics once I start getting some progress and pick up the car..

Don't really have any pics yet cause I haven't picked up the 33. I can put some up of the parts tho I guess lol..

Yeah it should be fine in the 33, I just have to make sure I stick to it.. This motor has been mounted in the r31, a 180sx a VL and now goin in this.

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
    • Shimmed or shimless, still solid, no hydraulic pump up stuff.
    • They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
