Going along the same lines as the NEO post, was looking at going further in my 33 and thought I'd get some ideas. Current setup;

-Hypergear ATR43-SS2 .82 rear internally gated

-FMIC 76mm thick

-Power FC

-3" turbo back exhaust (empty cat)

-splitfires coilpacks

-Z32 AFM

-3" alloy intake with a pod

-walbro 460

-denso 550cc injectors

-gizmo ebc

From the top of my head.

Tuned by Unigroup engineering at 18psi it made 255kW on pump, the actuator couldn't hold 20 properly.

I was thinking cams(tuner recommended), cam gears and going external wastegate as the next step, alongside bumping up the boost. Wanted to get feedback and ideas, with going e85 being the last option

Thanks

I have pretty much the same setup [GT3076 vs ATR43-SS2] and I get 300. But I have cams and WMI to get there [no flex out here].

Cam gears are a waste on RB25's, Tomei cams are set to zero anyway. Cam gears are only useful on a 26 [for road use].

Did you get your dodgy actuator spring replaced? Assuming you have VCT working an adjustable cam gear on your exhaust cam could net another 5 - 7kw.

Why not run fulltime E85? Just run your tank empty - fill with E85 and retune.

I haven't replaced the actuator yet, the plan was to go external soon so didn't see the need.

E85 is the easiest power option, the cars driven quite frequently though so fuel economy could be an issue. With a 33 gtst would the fuel lines have to be replaced for E85 ?

What are the potential power gains from cams, gears and external ?

Forget gears.............don't waste your $$$, you don't need the adjustment for Tomei [and prob most other] sticks. Cams and external depends on the setup you use, but from 255 to 300 is a big step for that.

I'd prob go external first and think about cams later.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
