R33 what power?

Hey guys,

Just wondering what power I'd be looking at with the following mods on my r33 s1;

3.5" turbo back, highflow turbo (hypergear, G3 with high pressure actuator), splitfires, 550cc injectors, z32 afm, r32 ecu nistune, fmic, blitz pod, walbro 255 

Any rough guesses from previous experiences or if you know roughly in kw?

 

thanks guys

250 - 270 sounds about right on P98, depending on how happy the dyno is that day. Your injectors will stop you going to E85, but if you upgraded them & tuned for E85 you would be looking around 300. Intake piping & cat may cause issues at that power level as well.

Cat is de-cat (hollow) 3.5" and Intake piping what do you mean? Plenum?

No, the rubber pipe from the AFM to the turbo - if you still have the stock one it will suck closed at the boost level you need to get over 250RWKW.

Ok will change that too. I'm only going safe tune so roughly 17-20

I have literally the same mods aside from the 550s (I have 740s) and I got 230rwkw @ 14psi - I would have gone higher but at the time I had a shitty actuator (which is now replaced). 

Your mods will net you 250rwkw-ish as stated but yes, replace the stock intake pipe for a solid one. 

Im going E85 in the next few months and all I need is a 460 pump upgrade, flex sensor, fpr for peace of mind and a tune and I should be in the 300 club :3_grin:

Best bang for your buck way to get to 300rwkw imo. I wish i looked more into going E85 flex before i got a power fc.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
