Hey guys

I have a r33 series 2 1996 model that relatively stock but am looking for a little more go. I don't wanna molest it cause I want it to be reliable.

It has a front mount inter cooler, 3" stainless blitz exhaust turbo back, apexi cold air intake, greddy profec b boost controller and a turbo smart plumb back bov (know it won't do much but thought I'd chuck it in).

I'm wondering what sort of power it could produce with these limited mods but also is the standard r33 tuneable at all? I realise it wont be much if it is tuneable at all but i dont have the coin to buy new computer turbo injextors etc etc. I have read on the Internet that it can make around 225kw.

Any feedback would be awesome cheers

well i just dropped off my car for a tune today so will give you before and after figures when i get it

earlier this year i ran it on the powercruise dyno and got 177.9 with JJR return flow fmic, jjr bellmouth front dump, venom 100 cpsi cat and hks super dragger catback, minus mid muffler. bosch 040, std ecu

i was really surprised with this number so im getting a before done by my tuner too to compare

the r33 ecu isnt tuneable. ive gotten an apexi power fc as my tuner knows them inside out, youll have to ask the tuner your considering for their preference.

im only running 9psi as thats what my stock boost solenoid. if youre lookiing for reliability i wouldnt go above 10 - 12psi... i think 200rwkw is more of a reasonable target,

im only really looking at anything around 180 - 200

for the mods we have its more about making the power throughout the rev range better rather than a high number

I'm just going of what I saw on the Internet but I didn't think 225kw with these minor mods sounded right. It's a slow project for me so I'm just building it up slowly. It only runs 9-10psi and I don't want to go much higher due to reliability. Is there much point going aftermarket ecu if you don't do further mods then what I have written down?

I don't know a hole lot about tuning and everything so it's all a learning curve for me

well its upto you to decide whether its worth it or not,

the stock ecus map is known to be quite rich, so going aftermarket for what you have will allow the cars tune to be altered to get around 20rwkw more, help make the car nicer to drive throughout the rev range and can help with a bit of fuel consumption, but that obviously depends on your driving style...

seeing as though you wanted 'a little more go' i think thats your only real option....

stock turbos are getting on towards 20 years old now so the word reliable should really be avoided here; especially if you want to push more power at the wheels then it produced at the flywheel when new 20 years ago.

If you want to make 240kw at the wheels relatively cheaply and reliably you can do so with:

-hypergear hyflow turbo (rebuilt stocker that makes more power) ~ $900

-nistune ECU $1250 for whole ECU + tune from Toshi

-Z32 AFM ~$300 new but you can get 2nd hand ones.

-Walbro 255 fuel pump ~$100

about 15psi on the stock injectors will make a fast responsive reliable R33

Thank you recommend me.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
