Hi Guys

I'm getting a tune with Toshi shortly(replace ecu , dyno & road test) and installing a high flow turbo and transmission cooler so I can up the boost and push around 200rwkw

As it stands however this is my setup , just BPU

1997 Skyline R33 GTS25T AUTO

Straight through 3'inch from turbo back

Pod filter

Blitz turnflow cooler

HDI Boost controller

stock turbo (running at 12psi)

Splitfire coilpacks

Automatic box

What do you reckon I'm doing now at the wheels? (150 -160 rwkw?)

Ps: Just asking for a power figure, please keep the "put it on a dyno , skylines autos are slow etc... to yourself

Cheers :)

150rwkws now

170rwkw with ECU, tune and a T

Highflow turbo will need injectors and fuelpump.

Will net 240 to 250rwkw

Oh, only 170rwkw @ about 12psi with tune?

Toshi mentioned 200-220 rwkw max after ecu replacement,fuel pump and tune and also said it would not be wise to go above that , even with a high flow turbo as the auto box will not be able to handle it (it is also my daily driver , so not looking for a "dyno queen" or anything , just a responsive cruiser).

Did not think the auto skyline was capable of netting 240 to 250rwkw

It is - If you have supporting mods.

Remember Injectors, Fuel Pump, Nistune with what you already have.

Check the Hypergear thread.

Auto - I'm pulling 245rwkws on a highlow (GCG 2871) now out of puff. I expect Transmission safe up to 280-300kws.

I have a 34 GTT with Neo motor.

Was 170rwkws stock with FMIC, Exhaust + 7psi

thanks. Certainly not 100 , thinking about 150. Was just a bit curious . Cheers

Point of my post was, it's a moot question that you ask.

We don't know your engine or what power feels like to you, so it could be making any amount of power between those numbers based on what every other untuned R33 has ever made on a dyno. It could be down on compression, it could run inefficiently or restrictive, or it could be well kept and healthy. Too many variables at hand.

People can guess all they like, but no one knows, so playing "guess the kw of this setup" is so pointless that people even make fun competitions out of it at dyno days and the guesses are always all over the place. Therefore any figures or feelings you take from people who have never even driven your car are irrelevant. Did you know that a car tuned precisely on a dyno may produce 5rwkw more or less on the same dyno 5 minutes later? Now imagine how varied the guesses are when we don't have a dyno...

I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but I think you are trying to emotionally side step the hard fact that only a dyno will help you with your question. If you don't care about dyno queen figures, any figures shouldn't really matter anyway - only the seat of the pants feeling or measured acceleration difference that you are chasing. Thus, my recommendations are to choose modifications that are known to increase midrange pull, and forget all about the numbers, as the only time power figures are relevant is when showing the difference between tunes on the same dyno...and even then...variance.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
