My First Build Up Yeah Yeah

[drewthegun]

hi guys, i bought my 1996 s2 r33 about 6 months ago it came with an 3in exhaust and an adjustable GFB BOV.

im spraying the front and rear bar and making the interior a liitle nicer.

ive installed a r34 gtt smic boost guage and electronic boost controller.

now im getting serious about going faster....

im going to get a fmic kit that plumbs up to the original holes

z32 nistuned ecu on the way

and i want to put a better turbo bigger injecrors fuel pump and then dyno tune it all

the problem im having is im an electrician not a mechanic lol and this is my first turbo car .... im looking at either hi flowing the stock turbo ..(some one quoted me $2000..DREAM)

or getting an aftermarket one maybe a hks gtrs but i dunno i know anything about aftermarket turbos what will fit what wont sizes anything....

what has everyone else done?

Hey drew have. Look though the forced induction page in these forums.. Plenty of info on modding your car

You're on the right track with your mods but keep in mind the end goal.. Eg will 300hp suffice or do I want more later on? Planning will save you money.

Can i just ask why not just use a nistune board on the r33 rb25 ecu?

remember reading one of martin donnons editorials about stock ecu's, and how they are actually really quite a lot better than what they are given credit for.

just wondering what the point would be of tuning an ecu that is made for a completely different car and engine??

The rb25 ecu is not Nistune compatible for some reason you can use an rb20 ecu or Z32 but the z32 is the pick as it will still control the VCT

That is exactly why people use a nistune. The stock ecu is very good, within reason and its limits. The nistune takes the same functionality and gives it the ability to be fully tunable in an aftermarket sense. Otherwise you might aswell just get a power fc.

Completely different car and engine when comparing the R32 Rb20 and R33 Rb25 is a bit of a dramatic comparison.

ahh thats right! nistune board 2.
