Not getting old mate!

Missis wants a nice car with a big turbo why? Because they look cool! And I doubt turning tyres at speed is ever going to be a shared fetish between us! So until then she can have big turbos that do sweet f**k all because once she goes back to driving a Hyundai ill up the wick and have some fun!

When I was younger I lthought hot chicks, cleavage, short skirts, expensive cars looked cool.....not sure that looking at turbos had the same effect but each to their own.

Lith has come up with something that will fit the bill.

Lol I gotta say I have the same thought as wolverine. I find this pretty funny and weird. Its like saying saying you and your GF share a fetish for under body rust protection coating, and you want your missuses car to look like it has it but not the real one done right, just the look of it, so what super cheap auto spray cans will replicate the look. That way, when you show up for a wheel allgnment the mechanic is impressed.

Turbos are under the bonnet, so anyone seriously wanting to spend the time to look under the bonnet would have even basic engine knowledge, and when they see its a bone stock engine with a huge compressor housing turbo, it kind of defeats the purpose and is no longer cool, no?

Anyway if thats what does it for you, go for it. I understand the feeling of finding it fun to drive a mostly stock car with a big laggy turbo just for the "feel" of it, but I haven't seen somebody purposely set out to do it. Its ussualy more along the lines of *facepalm what have they done do this car lol.

+1 I think a nice gt30/gt35 with a big 4inch cover ( chromed up) and sitting high on a 6boost manifold would be impressive enough, it could be set on 6psi to be tame enough for the GF and 20psi for the "nothing, nothing, wait, any sec now, hmm, wow shit!!!!!"

add a big 4inch intake and dump and it looks like the business :D

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
