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+

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
