Hey guys. so just a quick rundown to whats been done to my 33 gtst:

Haltech platinum pro

850cc injectors

fmic

walbro in tank pump

haltech boost solenoid

intake

3" catback (turbo to cat is still stock)

on 12psi im making 233kw atw with full boost at 3500rpm (pretty sure turbo is stock, looks like it is, so wont go over 12psi)

at the end of the day, I want around 400kw atw, which is why im starting to search into building either a 30 block or 25 block (30 block seems more the better choice though). in the mean time I want to get a bit more oomph out of the car, so what I want to do is just some tomei poncams on, upgrade the turbo (either t04z or gt3076, but the 3076 wont get me to my final power goal down the track I dont think). at this stage, do you guys think putting in the haltech flex fuel and getting it tuned for full 85 tune and the 98 tune so I can then use 85 when I want? I was told by someone I need an 85 safe pump and injectors, but my tuner said I can do it with whats on it but didnt say if my injectors (power enterprise 850cc) and pump is 85 safe? cheers for any advice, just interested to see what people reckon, getting that extra power out of ya cars always exciting.

233 with stock turbo, ive never heard of this?

To4z and 3076 are very different output turbos.

400kw from std rb25 is def pushing it.

Have you ever driven 300kw on the street? Cause it is a pretty big figure really for street.

What makes you want 400kw?

What are you doing that makes you want that figure??

from driving mates cars is why i wanted that figure, but then the other night when i drove a 340kw 34 gtt and had no traction makes me think twice about building an engine and going high power, if I can get the std bottom end to 300kw safely (I know safely isnt a word used when talking bout stock bottom ends lol). which is why im wondering if it is safe to do 85 with my setup, and if its even worth it? and also, I know what you mean about my stock turbo, ive seen gt30's do less then that lol. I am not 100% its stock, think it MAY me highflowed (if so, then i can chuck more boost through it) what I am gonna do is pull the dump off when I get a chance and put a magnet to the exh turbine, hopefully it sticks ;)

I know this is all very exciting to make some more power but the best bet is to stop and do a lot of reading and researching. Everything you have ever thought of doing has been done more that once so take the time to narrow down what you really want before starting with a scatter gun approach.

ps. the magnet will tell you nothing but if the turbine housing is machined out then you will know more, if there is an ID tag (eg. GCG hiflow) then you can save your time with the dump.

Mate, highflows won't make that sort of power at that sort of boost level.

233rwkw at 12 psi is no where near a stock turbo. a GCG highflow will make around that power at 20psi. hypergear's will do it around 15psi.

So unless you have a massively inflated dyno figure I'd be willing to bet your turbo isn't stock! The guys on the forum are pretty damn good at identifying turbos if you want to throw up some pictures? I'm sure someone can figure it out,

its not stock turbo then!

I agree as above as it seems u dont really know what is needed or how to go about it...

Lots of reading will help you, others have done these things and their trial and error will help you understand what works and why it worked for their goal... Having a power level goal i dont believe is the best way to start if you havnt driven a car with power before, and i dont mean a half hour drive up the road in someone elses car.

Yep reading lots is your friend. Really sounds like you have no real set idea in your head of what you really want from the car. And research this forum is what you need to do to work out what you want out of it and how far you want to go. As not having a rough idea what you want out of it can end up very costly. For example you said your turbo choice is a 3076r or t04z, two completely different turbos which does not really make sense,lol. A 3076r will come close to 360rwkw on e85 setup correctly. So not far from your goal of 400kw. I wouldnt bother with a t04z as there a dated turbo now and will be rather laggy on a rb25. I strongly consider a gtx3071r, very good all-round turbo for a rb25 on e85. 340rwkw with awesome response. I could go on and on but I think you get the idea.

Cheers Josh

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
