my mates done nearly the exactly the same as mine, less compression then mine, less aggressive cams and it made 180kw on 98 so that's why I was hoping for atleast 200 on e85, my engine builder is pretty positive it will make 200kw, but the proof is in the pudding!

Here is a photo of her in, heard her run for the first time today, I do have a video of it on my phone, will figure out how to get it onto here, tuning tomorrow, will try and get some video footage and decent non-phone photos sometime aswell.

Dyno sheet - Mild Tune (will push it a bit later when its proven to be all well)
Engine torque is that divided by the diff ratio. 3.7 in this case
Annnd its on a hub Dyno hence the power curve "interuptions", if it was on a roller it would be smooth as silk.

I can't read dyno sheets.. :(

Is that like 165kw?? :)

yeah mate 167.6 down the bottom

did end up making 170 odd by the end of the day, although I need to adjust the cam timing to get a few more revs out of her and upgrade the cat back exhaust, also tempted to get the throttle body's enlarged and sealed properly, one has a slight leak on idle causing a very minor miss, pretty sure EFI hardware will do that for me.

That was just 98, E85 actually didn't make any more power but the car sounded a lot nicer, sounded smoother through the rev range aswell. which I was sort of disappointed by but in an NA build all gains are very minimal.

Not sure if this will work for most of you

Waiting for my go pro to be returned that I left at my friends place while I picked the car up so I can upload the video properly

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
