only a bees dick of room for the turbo didnt think it would fit for a mo!

Exactly why I figure supercharged is the better option, despite the fact that the oil filter needs relocating and the power steering needs a little rerouting too.

my mate put the vortech kit on his 350z and got an extra 60kw at the wheels.

mine is on the dyno right now so i will be interested to see what gains i get.

pick it up in the morning so will post results tomorrow night

That's 81 hp at the wheels which is ok however the kit has a crap pulley as standard.you can get a different one to up the boost which is his next move.that means more money and retuning but if you change the pulley you can kiss any warranty you get goodbye

hp at wheels untuned tried a few different ecus with limited success haltech want me to ship car to nsw because they've never done an auto before but thats not gonna happen wired a new ecu up last night and its doing everything it should but not counting my chickens. if no go then off to to-mo for the uprev osiris but thats not cheap

You can do Uprev for 1/2 the price of a Haltech.

Auto can be done with a Haltech - but its not easy, and I suspect that no-one in the west has done one before. It was described as "hell to wire in" to me, thus I went uprev.

Please tell me your not running the car up to full power with no tuning? If you continue, you will break the motor.

no mate just one careful run to get an idea as soon as it was lean we shut it down. The new ecu works well on auto xr6ts so should be good. All hooked up with no issues, dyno shortly. The 123456 firing order was a surprise though.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
