The guys at cv performance recommend me saving for a vipertech ecu and 650cc injectors. told me not to get anything less than that.

a vipec is a better ECU no doubt, but if you are going for a highflowed turbo you aren't going to need anything more than a pfc / nistune

you will also need a z32 afm, 555cc injectors (minimum) aftermarket fuel pump, FMIC, better clutch etc etc

best search around here before you buy stuff.... have you already paid for the turbo?

the turbo you chose will influence everything else you need

damn :( the turbo is alread payed for and installed.

already have a fmic, exhaust, pod filter.

damn I thought the garret internals would put out decent power. I was going to upgrade to a bigger turbo in a couple of months though. just wanted something with a decent kick untill I go all out on a high mount kit.

what do you recommend?

depends on what you want to do with the car.

a highflow will get 300rwkw TOPS and that's pushing it. (i beleive hypergear have managed the 3 ton but generally highflows are 260-270rwkw

having said that have you driven a 3oorwkw R33? it's FAST

looking for more power than that out of a 2.5l will only lose response, and response where it's at (in my opinion)

i'd rather have a 250rwkw Rb25 than a 400rwkw RB25 anyday

your awesome man cheers. great great advice! I know where I stand now :)

nope never driven a 300kw r33 but I have driven a vl turbo 270kw on the weekend and it was scary fast. thing was spinning the wheels right up to 4th gear on boost. was hard as hell to control!

Hey man Im in a similiar situation too you, replaced my stock turbo as it was on the way out and the replacement now causes my stock AFM to max out so I need nistune and AFM too, I don't know where your located but I looked up a guy named toshi on the forums who can do a nistune for you for a fair bit cheaper then most places, pretty sure he's in Sydney maybe get in contact with him for your tuning? I plan too when I have the coin

should be worth it though. I'f I get done I'll let you know how I go :)

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
