Need help! R33 gtst chasing power

Hey guys, 

I recently bought a r33 gtst which has some tasteful mods, custom exhaust, poddy, FMIC, alliminium radiator and FMiC

What can i do to reach 200kw atw? But i would need to stay in budget lets say the budget is around 4k or so. I can also get 1000cc injectors and ems stinger ecu but not sure which version for $500. If i get the ecu and tune it could i see 200kw on the stock turbo or will i have issues? 

Thanks for your wisdom o wise ones.

Yes you could get to or close to 200rwkw on a stock turbo. I wouldn't go over 11-12psi as the ceramic turbine wheels tend to snap off. If you're already getting injectors you could highflow the stock turbo for around $900. Will get you to 250-260rwkw. Will also need a better fuel pump, better airflow meter unless the ems runs map sensor, Afm won't be required.

I got 187rwkw @ 11psi on an average tune with FMIC and exhaust. Stock S2 turbo.

For what you're chasing, on a budget:

  • High flow turbo ($1100)
  • Walbro 460 pump, with allowance for relay mod and bits ($250)
  • Z32 AFM ($300)
  • RB20 ECU, Nistune and Dyno ($1300)

This assumes you wouldn't get the EMS or injectors, and the prices I listed are on the high side. This combo is sub-$3k is good for 220-240rwkw and gives you everything you need to shoot for more power with the addition of a good set of injectors, maybe a flex sensor and board.

What injectors are you considering? I had lots of trouble with injectors, make sure you do it right!

I think its bosch injectors... not sure. 

If there's any doubt, just go buy new. But as I said, you won't need injectors for <200rwkw

Inmaniac just exhuast and fmic? Stock ecu? And also what boost controller? 

So all id need is ecu and tune for 187rwkw? 

I used a Nistune, but in reality you don't need any ECU upgrade for that power level.

I used a GFB G-Force II EBC, but you can use a bleed valve if you really wanted to.

For that power level, your current mods and then upping boost to 11psi should do the trick. For 200+, as above.

Back in my old days I had a piggyback  safc2,gt28 turbo and managed to get 310 rwhp on stock r33 mad sensor. 

With the ems stinger,upgraded fuel pump+ injectors u should be able to achieve minimum 330 rwhp even do on stock turbo.

good luck mate 

Just get a manual bleed valve such as a $40 turbotech or a turbosmart and boost it to a safe 10psi, should get around 180rwkw which is still enough to have fun with.

I wouldn't get a tune with the stock turbo, to get 200rwkw you will have to run higher boost which is playing with fire with the ceramic turbine.

This.

Up the boost, FMIC, exhaust etc etc.

I got 256rwhp (190kw) years ago (no ecu, injectors). Plenty to have fun with until you want to upgrade your turbo (and everything else!).

Lol. No.

OP, get a boost gauge and a manual boost controller (bleed valve). Set to 11psi (max) and go have fun. Set and forget until you have the coin to go bigger and better. That's essentially what everyone is saying.

Thanks for the replies guys. Ive decided to go with turbosmart ebc, ems stinger ecu, for now and see if im safe at 10psi. 

Also anyone know of someone that does close door resprays cheap? Gotta a couple of dings and marks on it. Live in sydney

The reason I stated that is because I have seen it with my own eyes...

 

good luck mate 

My R31 made 109rwkW once (RB30E is a sub 100kW engine).
Surely a GTS1 cam, extractors and 20 years of use wouldn't give it that much increased power? I think I still have the dyno sheet haha.

Let us know your final hp figures.. cheers

My old manual r31 silhouette made 126 kw at the wheels. Had extractors and 270,000 kms of wheel spin and burnouts for mods. I miss that rusty piece of crap.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
