Oh, here is a photo of the freshly washed R33 4 Door, nearly ready to get some plates slapped onto her. (not embedding because the photo is huge)

Theres so much bird poo burn on her, as well as weird stains that I just couldn't remove and some weird blue-tacky glue stuff that's somehow leaked onto her. My current tools were not able to remove those.

Also plenty of scrapes and dings but hey.... the car was less than $3k and I'll sort those out in time.

Current plan: Mesh Grill, Remove rear Window Tint and Fit the Wheel Arch Guards. Then either drag my mate around to fix the Electrics, or if he really can't make it, drive the car to KYP, have them fix the electrics and prepare her for the pits.

Take Car over Pits, Get Licensed. If the car doesn't get licensed, fix whatever they want and take it back.

After that I need to save some cash, and then I move on to fixing the body and adding a few things (Reverse Camera, new Head Unit), and then we shall see about making the car perform better.

Not bad... For a 4dr

Reverse camera? Moar powerz!!

The car has a front mount intercooler, GFB bleed valve, Splitfires, Pod Filter. It's currently running the stock Turbo and BOV. It's also had the Oil Filter re-routed for easier access.

Here is a photo of the engine bay, taken just before I fixed the leak: http://i.imgur.com/8AMJuJm.jpg

Did I mention it was rebuilt 50,000km's ago and was resprayed candy apple red? along side all new piping (which was tig welded, but needs a polish).

It's plenty fast enough for now.

Truthfully, I have no idea what to do with the engine...bigger turbo? aftermarket B.O.V?, ECU + Tune?.. no idea yet.

Things I definitely want: Coilovers and Sway Bars, New Breaks + Rotors, Braided Break Lines.

edit: fixed some bad spelling

Def ask before spending on engine. Trap for new players is that many advertised parts on eBay etc are crap. Not crap built but design. Standard bov is fine

Many threads with newbies who bought a tone of cheap engine parts then join Sau to find out why their car comes onto boost at 6500rpm and only has 250hp, if it didn't blow up first

Good plan right there. 25's respond to minimal mods half the time, quality high mount/manifold/gate/exhaust/injectors/ECU. Got one down here putting out 600hp with standards internals bar head gasket and cams

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
