Hey all,

I have been doing as much reading as i can regarding how to get 350rwkw out of my R33 GTR.

At the moment all it has from the previous owner is a exhaust and some HKS Pods. Everything else is stock, including the turbo's.

I have done some research and have a bit of a parts list put together by Kudo's, but just wondering what you fellas think...The car is going to be my daily driver.

Garrett GT2860R-5s

Turbo Install Kit (all required gaskets & studs...)

Genuine Nissan Exhaust Manifold Stud Kit

A'PEXi Power FC D-Jetro

Greddy Suction Kit To Suit AFM Less Set-Up OR HKS AFM Replacement Bodies (To reuse factory intake set-up)

HKS EVC 5 Electronic Boost Controller

Walbro 400ltr/hr Intake Fump Pump OR Nismo Fuel Pump (Direct Replacement For Factory Pump, No Modifications Required)

Power Enterprise 700cc Fuel Injector Set, Including Full Genuine Nissan Seal Kit

Greddy Fuel Rail To Suit Above Injectors (anything above 550cc are 11mm and don't suit the factory rail)

Tomei Type-L Fuel Pressure Regulator

Do you think its nessasry to go MAP's vs Z32 AFM's?

After i install everything, will i even be able to drive to the tuner? I think i remember reading that the D-Jetro doesn't have a base tune installed so the car won't run?

Is it hard to install the MAP Sensors?

It is a pretty pricey build, anywhere where you fellas think i could save a few pennies? Honestly I am looking for the best performance for the dollar. What ever gives me best bang for buck, that is what i want to go for!

Input/comments/feedback much appreciated by all

have a look at the rb26 dyno thread,

but..... get ID 1000 cc injectors with adapters will fit std rail. dont need new fuel rail, Dont need pressure reg, z32 AFM is fine.... No mapless not needed.

-5's with 20 psi or so will give you 350...But may aswell aim for 400 :)

You after top end power, or response and a bit less top end?

Looking for more response and a bit less top end, it is my daily after all.

Didn't know you could get adapters to fit the std rail, any draw backs on not using a aftermarket fuel rail?

Main reason why i wondered about the Z32 vs MAP is because you can normally pickup Z32's and Power FC's used.

False economy considering secondhand Z32s. They might work, but there's always a good chance that someone is unloading them because they were faulty in some way. Not worth the pain. Buy new, genuine from someone you can trust (and that's unlikely to be someone on eBay).

As per the infomation and results on here, Then i would say wrong turbo choice, Go for the -9s instead.

Although -

HKS EVC 5 Electronic Boost Controller

Might be known as one of the boost controllers with all its features etc, they CAN be a pain in the a$$ as mine is nothing but trouble....

I believe the -5's are capable of more power (if the need arises) and have similar response to stock turbo's if not better?

Yes, capable of more power - no, most definitely laggier.

Constantly gets err100 under full boost when its bolted up... When it swings free it works 9 times out of 10... Its probably a rare case but google search shows similar complaints out there but NO fix seems to exist that i can see...

Any reason why you would recommend the -9 instead of the -5?

-5 are like hks 2530 and -9 like hks gtss, both more lag then stock, by the sounds of it you want -7/34n1 turbos

theres a good write up in someones sig (forget who) that has the turbos choice for the power wanted.

-9s wont make 350, But close enough and -7s will make 320 odd.

-5 although such a popular turbos are much better with a stoked motor, Or a track car where you can wind the boost up and really let them open up.

As your said yours is a daily, -5s would be usless below 4500 rpm, -9s would be biggest id go. And -7s would be the best choice for a daily street gtr.

The aboive pretty much sums it up, Have a search in my name for the many threads i made about -5 vs -9 ect ect.

get an apexi avc-r , mine has never had trouble, is easy to work and has alot of adjustability

Still trying to decide if i want -5 or -9 turbo's.

How is the car revving before you reach full boost?

Also, How do you go about fitting bigger injectors in the stock fuel rail? or am i better off getting a bigger fuel rail? (where do i buy the adapters?)

You said you car was a daily and wanted resposne, Unless you have a stroker kit then -9s are your only choice that matches your needs

As for injectors, Tuff car parts will do a set of adapters to suit std rail for about $50 a set.

Grab some Id 1000cc from tuspeed.com, Great service and good price at $745 odd

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
