Hi Guys,

I'm new to site, I've had a bit of a look around and can't seem to find the complete answers on most of the posts.


I have a 1993 S1 R33 skyline running a pretty much stock rb25det

Right, so my idea is that I'm after 250rwkw+, anything on or over that, I'll be pretty happy with.

As I said the engine is pretty much stock. Only mods it has are:
Splitfire coil packs

Heavy duty clutch

3" exhaust

I have on the way a front mount intercooler and a triple core aluminium radiator and I also have a Power FC

My plan was to help me get to 250rwkw+, I would run a setup similar to this:

Power FC

Front Mount 600x300x76

Aftermarket radiator

Split fire coils

HD clutch

3" exhaust

Deatschwerks 555cc injectors

Bosch 040 fuel pump

Standard Motor
Standard Cams

Standard intake and exhaust manifold

and of course a bigger turbo

I'm trying to be on the tightest budget possible at the moment without doing anything completely dodgy and cutting too many drastic corners.

To any who have or are planning to go down a similar path, what do you think this set up will be like and what other things can I do to make it a more successful setup?

Also with the turbo, I'm after opinions from people on their experiences with different turbo's. I'm after something that isn't going to lag heaps but will spool up around 3-3.5 and pull right through to 7.
Something with some good torque that will throw you back in your seat but will keep pulling hard until limiter.

Pretty much I'm after the right turbo to complete to combination and get the best results. After the best bang for my buck.

The right combination is obviously going to give me the best result so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for so many questions in one post just after the right info.

Thanks everyone in advance,

Ryan :)

Hiflow your standard turbo. Hypergear is probably you'd best option. Although if you can find a HKS gtrs or 2535 there fairly good options for 250kw. With the deatchworks 555cc injectors why not go slightly larger? Like 740cc's or I'm sure deatchworks even do a 1000cc option in side feed stock fitment. Although I'd ditch the the side feed option and go top feed rail with ID1000's. Are you going to run e85? If that's not available I'd run water/meth. You'll yield more power and have less chance of damaging the engine. You'll also need to replace the stock rubber turbo inlet pipe with a metal one as the factory pipe tends to start sucking closed up around the 220kw atw's power +.

Yeah hi flowing thw standard turbo did cross my mind bit why pay $1500 to make the standard tuebo better. I mean yeah i think on average 240-250kw is found at around 18-20psi with the hi flow but i could get something else for that price or a little more and possibly see over 260rwkw.

I was thinking something like a gt3037 or something like that. Theyre the same price as the hi flow and could possibly yield better results in the end.

The reason i was only going 555cc injectors is because I am using the car as a daily so im after not great fuel efficiency but a reasonable fuel efficiency. Just trying to find the happy medium pretty much. Good horsepower without the really really crap fuel efficiency.

Cheers

Injector size has nothing to do with fuel economy mate :) Ive got an evo 9 and when it was 100% stock was getting around 350-400km outta a tank im now using E85 with ID2000's and fuel economy is around 320-350km to a tank.

Obviously the extra fuel usage is cos of the ethanol and extra 120kw lol!

Buy a hypergear ss1pu it will make 250rwkw's easy I am just under 300kw's on it and climbing.

Get bigger injectors as when you get to 250 you will want more buy 660's or 740's otherwise you will kick yourself later for having to upgrade them again.

make sure your exhaust is full 3" not just a catback, get a quality cat converter too.

What a nugget :ph34r:

extra 120 killerwasps?

I wasnt claiming 120kw just by swapping fuels that was from stock to where it is now! So relax before you all try flaming me lol! My whole point was about fuel economy :)

Lol yes its still a stock turbo nugget Matty :(

250 rwkw is not hard or really that expensive, shop around for a second hand highflow turbo, a decent front mount, 3 inch exhaust, 850cc injectors, 044 external pump or 040 internal pump, z32 afm, nisstune or apexi pfc and u will hit over 250 rwkw EASY.

guesstimation on prices

turbo $400 to $800

Injectors $300 - $500

fuel pump $100 - $150

exhaust $200 - $400

Front mount $150 - $300

z32 $120 - $200

ECU $350 - $700

Tune $600 - $1000

All up $2200 to $4000 and would only cost you $4000 if you just didn't shop around properly.

My 33 drift car netted 280RWKW with the GCG XTR S1 turbo, jecs 850cc injectors, 044 pump, z32 AFM, Apexi PFC, hybrid front mount, no name 3 inch exhaust and an E85 tune from Garage7.running 19psi

All up cost to me was : second hand GCG $700, NEW injectors $550, Z32 $110, 044 pump $120, Hybrid cooler with piping $200, APEXi PFC $700, free exhaust and $600 for the tune. All up was just under $3000, and I didn't really shop around, just grabbed the items when I saw them for sale.

Something worth considering is the dollars spent to support 250kw.

The same or similar supporting mods can support 300kw+

e.g. Apexi PFC, z32, FMIC, Exhaust, upgraded injectors,and fuel pump etc.

Your turbo choice will be the biggest determining factor. Notwithstanding the mods above, the other is fuel choice i.e. 98 vs. e85 with the appropriate tune.

I found it very helpful worth investing the time to take a look at Dyno Thread.

You may notice a pattern of the turbo selection and fuel choice for those making 180-220, 230-70, 280-330 and so on.

See if they meet the 'response' your after at the chosen power level. I would argue pegging your power level a little higher at say 270KW+ and put those supporting mods to work.

Admittedly I went too big for my setup for my original power level of 260. So I went 300.

Lol yes its still a stock turbo nugget Matty :(

Buy Alex's FP Black :ph34r:

You coming today my man?

Cheers for all of the replies guys.
Had a bit of a look through the dyno thread.

I reckon I will be running bp ultimate or shell vortex for the dyno, but I usually run 98 anyway.

I had a thought about running a gt3076r or hks 3037. Both pretty much the same i'm sure, both turbos are good for around or a tad over 500HP which isn't too bad at all.

I'll most likely go with what most of you said and not limit myself too much on the injectors so I might go larger, something like the 740cc injectors. Just so I'm not maxing out the 550's.

Also I reckon I will be going an 044 external with a surge tank rather than maixing out the 040 intank. From what I could find, 040's are good for 250-270kw which is what I'm after, but a 044 might benefit me in the long run if I decide to keep going up.

Cheers Jim for reassurance of buying second hand, it was an idea in the back of my mind but I just wasn't 100% sure on whether I really should or not.
I've found a gt3076r for $1000 so I might possibly look into that.

500hp at the engine maybe but on pump fuel you will be in the 400-430 region at the wheels.

As for the 044, my single maxed out at 350rwkw (I think that is 470hp maybe or close enough).

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
