You will always get used to the power and want to chase more, it's just the way things are.

Remember that feeling of getting into your 200kw car and thinking it was quick? Well that's what 300kw will feel like for the first few months.

I'm running 250rwkw and to be honest it's really good for the street because I have a responsive turbo. I find it hard to even use 250kw on the street without breaking laws.

Exactly

I spent part of today in a Mclaren MP4-12C, i can tell you if it lays the power down well like the Mclaren, even 441Kw can get boring after a while. :)

Something with big cams and a big turbo hit of power can feel far more quicker and scarier, even though it wont be doing 0-100 in under 3 seconds......

I had 380 in the old 33, it was enough to destroy gearboxes but after a while even 380 is boring.

Was fun at the track and drags though.

I would say if you are looking for a powerful car you need at least over 400 with lots of torque all coming on by a least 4500.

Just remember that at that power level most of the drive train becomes a consumable.

As for chasing power, my latest car has around 85kwaw but handles like a go cart, and I think it's much more fun that way.

That +100kws will cost you around $3,500 (or more) depending on what modifications you have now.

He speaks the truth!

-standalone ECU

-fuel pump

-injectors

-intake

-exhaust

-intercooler

-AFM (depending on ECU)

And a tune of course.

Plus other bits I probably missed.

If you want 400kw for later then ditch that RB25 and get a 2J Supra, else you will have your money disappearing really fast once things break in the r33. Or have a built RB25 and still waste as much cash. Thats what my plans are for later once I get hold of a nice RZ Supra, not a big fan of the bulbuous looks though..

300kw on the street is quite quick. .. but you will still be done by Evos, WRX etc.

On the track or drag strip you will have to do some serious work on the tyres and suspension etc to take advantage of more power.

I never wanted 300kw to hose off anyone, it was the pure sound and ability to lay rubber like butter when the torque comes on, Evo's and

WRX's can be quick but sound boring to me.

Go to the drags and even a 10sec V8 or EVO gets boring, watching a pissed off RB is more exciting.

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
