Hey guys i have an r33 gtst which i am hoping to bring to around 230-240rwkw and keep lag minimal.

Current mods are:

10psi boost

Full 3 inch exhaust

Apexi pod filter

Blitz return flow cooler

Gtr fuel pump

Car is making 180atw

Upcoming mods:

Power fc

Bigger injectors

High flow turbo

Z32 afm

so my questions are.

1. Is it worth tracking down a r34 turbo to highflow over a r33 one? I heard the 34 can flow better but is it much laggier?

2. What size injectors should i be going for and any other mods needed to reach this power level.

3. Does anyone know a good tuner in melbourne, located in west suburbs but willing to travel.

Any help is very much appreciated im fairly new to skylines.

You're in the right place.

21U Highflow and Adaptronic ECU from Hypergear in Somerton.

Injectors from Scotty.

Get it fitted up in Dandenong at Forced Motorworx and tuned by Trent @ Status Tuning in Keysborough.

The 21U R33 turbocharger is super responsive, that supports an average of 260rwkws on P98 fuel, 20psi @ 3500RPM.

The R34 turbocharger has an larger rear housing that is capable of making more power, handles more timing, we can also high flow it using our ceramic ball bearing system thats brings the optimum throttle response out of it. The turbocharger it self is capable of supporting the 270rwkws region in average, 20psi @ 3650RPM CBB or 3800RPM plain. If you have both turbos available, in my opinion OP6 is an better pick.

Thanks for all the info guys.

I will pm hypergear

Isn't 1000cc injectors overkill though? I was thinking i would only need around 555ccs

There's no point messing about with shitty old school injectors in the 550cc range. The modern Bosch ones will idle better than the crappy old ones even at twice the size. Plus then you will NEVER need to upgrade them, regardless of what you do (within reason).

Guys, I'm new to SAU, I'm actually buying a mates 33gts25t in roughly 3 weeks(cheers tax). I believe he's a member just not sure of his user name.

Anyway, I have a few questions seeing as this will be the second boosted car I've owned, first being a GT forester(let's not get into that) lol.

So basically we've done some minor mods and whatnot to it since I've been friends with him, and we aren't quite sure of the KW figure. Haven't been bothered to pay for a dyno.. Probably roughly 180-90ish

I know it's got the usual tasteful mods..

That being..

*Blitz Return Flow Front Mount

*3 inch cat back

*Walbro 255L pump(I believe)

*NGK Plugs

*Profec B2

Now when I get it I plan to go 3" turbo back.

Any tips or hints on how to get it around 220KW's without spending an arm or leg?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

I was considering a Nistune.. Not sure what everyone's take is on them but I know they're roughly 500 brand new.

Well it will be sliding at some point, but casually not everyday.

i thought about a 2540 upgrade but I've heard some bad shit about them.

Contemplating going Bosch 500cc also.

Not sure on the AFM though.

Obvious place to point you for a turbo is Hypergear. Look at the Hypergear thread. All of it. The 21U highflow will do up towards 250rwkW. You will need the Nistune of course and it's a sensible choice. It's less easy on R33s but at least it's not as bad as it used to be. You should look into what it actually takes to achieve it (effort and cost wise) then decide if any of the other options make any sense to you (such as an old PFC, or an Adaptronic, to name a couple of options). You will need injectors to make the best use of the turbo. Likewise a Z32 AFM (if you stick with Nistune or PFC).

Already messaged Hypergear. I was going to hi-flow the T25, but on second thoughts seemed to be a waste of money as such.

I'm not sure why everyone leans towards a power fc these days.. Majority of the lads I know that have stageas or skylines always have the fc. What's the difference? Besides the obvious hand controller which gives you all the readings.

I'd prefer to spend less money on a Nistune because I'm not building a weapon that has no purpose of being road driven, as it can't be driven to its full potential, and well having a skyline with a reading of 600kws at a drift meet is pretty pointless, as long as it holds sideways then that's all that matters really.

Probably because Power FC are cheap these days and if you want to Nistune an R33 you have to find a suitable Z32 ecu and set up the VCT control (if applicable).

I don't see how a hg high flow is a waste of money. 250-260rwkw on 98 and 300-310 on e85 and full boost by 3.4-3.5k rpm for $850 and is a 100% bolt on affair, no spacers or other bull shit required. I don't believe you will find any other turbo in that price range and unless you are chasing massive HP its a no brainer for most. Hypergear also does excellent pricing on adaptronic ECU's if you buy a turbo from him. You won't require an AFM or boost controller with one of them either, they do all the fancy crap, flex fuel, wb input, launch control and the customer service and support from adaptronic is phenomenol. My 2c.

    • I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
    • Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
    • hello wanted some insight on what my problem could be so i swapped a RB26DETT into my r33 gtst used a R33 GTR engine harness and im using a haltech platinum pro. The car cranks but no start the ecu isn’t getting any power now im trying to find out why i cant seem to find any schematics  or diagram for the engine harness for the r33 gtr anything helps thank you.
    • hahahaa @GTSBoy that is my last resort. Like use a cardboard and cut it using the indicator as a reference. But I was winging my luck to see anyone had a spare bumper because drawing the outline off the hole is always easier and less chance of mucking it up
    • Admittedly in that screenshot its doing about 13psi but later on in the log theres definitely spikes to 16. What is missing though is the massive peak, then a big drop and then a recovery. While it does go a little higher than I would like on base pressure, I think it's reasonably safe to assume that boost control via the mac valve should be a lot easier to control from here on out. I wasn't game to hook up the mac valve today as it's very wet and it's on the verge of fighting traction as it is.
