hey guys

ive got a 94 gtst r33 manuel, current mods are 3 inch turbo back exhuast, fmic, greddy e manage, pod filter, turbo smart dual stage boost controller, car is roughly 215-220 kilwatt at 14 psi (standard turbo).

i would like to get another 10-15 kilawatts if possible by maintaining the same amount of boost (14)psi

i have mentioned to my mechanic about gettin either injectors, fuel pump, or getting the additional injector and ignition harness for the e manage, but hes advised that itll be a waste of money, and that my next mod would have to be a turbo upgrade, but i dont really want to spend more than $800 on parts right now,

also do splitfire coil packs give more power?

any comments would be greatly appreciated

Coilpacks definitely give noticeable power if your originals are f**ked. Otherwise you wont feel anything, they make it smoother n more responsive just like new plugs.

<br />New turbo or E85 + re-tune.<br />

Only problem with the 2nd half of this idea is that there probably isn't enough capacity left in the std injectors to make the power on E85.

As to the original question.....there's not a lot left in your turbo. You're already running it past the point (boost wise) where you can expect it to crap itself at some (unpredictable) time.

The only way you will make more power now is with bigger injectors, pump and retune on e85 if you wont upgrade the turbo.

If your car is making that power, regardless if people say its a happy dyno, you will be maxing out the stock fuelpump and injectors, so adding an extra one wont help if the pump is alreay maxxed out.

Seeing as you dont want to spend any money im not sure how your going to achieve this.

Coilpacks will be $600+ for Splitfires, injectors dont come cheap, then the fuel pump.. then a retune.

I say save your coins and upgrade it when you can afford it.

I would also find a new mechanic mate cos sounds like he dont know WTF he is talking about because with out bigger injectors and fuel pump a bigger turbo is useless to you! if you wanna do it cheap buy a 2nd hand GTR fuel pump and some SR20 injectors highflow ya turbs get it retuned if ya shop around and get lucky you MIGHT get some change from $2500 and you will be good for 250kw :thumbsup:

Stock injectors will do ~230kw max safely

But yeah your turbo is out of flow so the only way to make more power is either bigger turbo, or run E85 so you can wind more ignition timing in, stock injectors prob won't flow enough though.

Next step is $4k really as you need airflow meter, injectors, turbo, fuel pump, most likely coilpacks, then clutch, then tyres, then a full retune regardless of if you want 230kw or 300kw

If you already have enough fuel, eg injectors are not maxed out and nor is fuel pump, then putting bigger injectors in will just require a retune for zero gain, bigger fuel pump is probably not a bad idea but it won't give any extra performance, will just give you some extra safety and if you decide to use E85 down the track it will give you the required flow.

If you are maxing your injectors out the car will lean out and probably make slightly more power but pop the engine. Only replace them if you require extra fuel flow, eg a bigger turbo, as it will require a complete retune which is $$$

honestly your car is not making 220rwkw - more like 190-200 MAX.

this is what literally hundereds of users on here have found, the only way to get that far on a stock turbo and 98octane is a happy dyno.

for around $800 you could find a second hand highflowed turbo. throw this in and you can get to roughly ~230rwkw (that's a real 230rwkw though) so roughly a 15% gain.

throw injectors, afm and fuel pump at it and you can look at more around the 250rwkw figure.

this is not the best method, however it is the cheapest :)

also as rolls said you will need a clutch... probably want to shim your diff too

14PSI will not last very long on a stock turbo either. Do a search "r33 turbo max boost".

Stock Inj + bump the fuel pressure will get you a tad more power (whatever the number on the dyno reads)

After that you can throw what ever turbo you like at is, no more power. Your tuner is telling you turbo and rightly so. The stock turbo will not

last long at 14PSI. Do you want to be cleaning comp housing shards (yes yes the rear blows out, but it unbalances the shaft and the comp wheels generally grinds a nice path up against the comp housing) out of your intercooler?!?!

So basically you need to do all four, turbo, inj, pump and afm.

Also whats up the with e-manage? Just asking seeing 90% of the population use PFC, the other haltech, link, vipec etc.

Buy this bad boy and max re-tune it on the stock pump and injectors. It may cost a lil more than $800 but ur more than likely up for a new turbo sooner than later running 14psi on ur stock one

Its on sale at the moment.

my car dynoed at 220 rear wheel kilawatts when it was auto @ 14psi, by initial d racing,

auto should read lower anyway... so that result is even more inflated... there is NO WAY your car makes a genuine 220rwkw on the stock turbo. the lil turbo simply cant flow enough to make those numbers and there have been HUNDREDS of cars on here that prove that.

i wasn't trying to insult you, i was being positive, saying that if you get a genuine 230rwkw it will be 30 - 40 rwkw faster than what you have now, not just 10.

fwiw my car made 185rwkw with the stock turbo on 14psi running the same (ish) mods and a pfc. most people get around the 190rwkw mark.

also stick to around 12 psi. the stock turbo is out of puff then anyway. by going to ~14 or above you really are only squeezing like 5kw out of the engine for a LOT of stress on the ceramic exhaust wheel.

:)

Also whats up the with e-manage? Just asking seeing 90% of the population use PFC, the other haltech, link, vipec etc.

emanage is fine for up to around 250rwkw. according to trent who used to specialise in them there is great gain in upgrading past one unless you are planning on 250+

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
