New To The Skyline Scene, Need some ?'s answered


Recommended Posts

hey im recently new to this site and im just about to buy a series 2 R33 skyline once i sell my 180, ive got a few questions that im not to sure about.

1 how much hp does the standard t3 turbo handle and boost?

2 how mcuh kw at the wheels should this performance package get me?

400hp gt28 turbo, frount mount, 3" zorst, piggy back computer, ill also have the other stuff like pod, bov, and revised fuel system and irridium plugs.

3 whats the most common problem/s that can occur when buying a skyline?

cheers :)

1. Around 13 pound... isnt it safely, before it goes pop?

2. Well from your package...depending on dyno etc im guessing around the 190 to 200 rwkw mark

Might want to invest in a larger fuel pump..and injectors next?

What sort of piggy back ecu are you using...

3 problems.

1./ need more mods...youll never stop, its like a disease

2./parking it in public car parks

3./its an idiot magnet

GT28 is only about the same size as the standard "T28 like turbo" on the R33.. except it will have steel wheels, and hence will be able to wind the boost up more. Problem is that with the A/R of these, you're going to run past the efficiency range that the turbo can provide not much quicker than the stock unit - and may only get around 220rwkw (if that). GT28 is mainly suited to 2L or 1.8L engines, bit small for RB25DET. The 400HP that is quoted is probably for smaller capacity engines - you'll probably get less than that on an RB25det

Should be able to get 190rwkw or so max with stock turbo depending on the dyno.

    • Both of those things are on my to do but not quite in a position to do that just yet until I can at least get it running back to stock. Going to work on getting the exhaust manifold gasket and studs replaced first, an obvious need it now. Then I'll try out the new maf and see hownthat does. After that I'm thinking cas if I'm still having the same issues. Still need to run the fuel out and refuel I'll change the fuel filter tomorrow along with cleaning the iacv with carb cleaner. If all else fails I'm going to get a serial port and see if I can get some sort of data on what the ecu is seeing when the issue is happening but really hoping one of the methods above work out first. After I get a good base I'm going link but have to save for that so it'll be a while for that based on my tuners suggestions. Definitely need the exhaust leak fixed first though car has always fallen flat after about 4-4500 rpm since I've had it and suspecting that's the issue. Then I can move forward with the rest. 
    • My vote is rebuild s2 engine or maybe get a neo (but expect you may need to rebuild that too). Doing an engine conversion you would have to be a true tragic nowadays and actively be aware there's better/smarter options for value.
    • Or buy one someone built earlier! (realistically V8 mustangs or MKV supras are great). I see people nowadays putting ZF8's into MK4's, and people putting 370z gearboxes, diffs, axles into R and S chassis and it's like.... just get a 370z at that point and mildly boost the 3.7 instead of the 2L and away we go...
    • If you're going to go v8 or really any swap now with all the tax, I'd most likely just get rid of the car and start with something else. Unfortunately, I have a mate with a surplus of ls and Ferrari/Maserati v8's that's always tempting me FFS lol.
    • If you can get a clean, tested neo from Japan for $3500 these days, it's probably worth getting either way, hard not to be skeptical at that price. Otherwise probably rebuild the s2.
