Hey ppls, ive dug into my pocket and hit up the missus and ive got $6,000 to spend on my 94 r33 gtst, this morning i spoke to Mike Vine, who owns Mike Vine Turbos, in my home city of brisbane, he has a turbo package that he claims makes between 350hp and 380hp im not sure if at the wheels or not. this package includes a T04B turbo, Custom frontmount, custom 3 1/2 inch dump pipe and a bosh fuel pump all fitted and tuned, which also included a boost gauge etc. and all this for $6,000. the problem is, is it worth it? he claims that this package which he has used on sebveral r33's makes this type of hp and does mid to high 12's. so what do u i do? i need some advice please HELP?

i can offer u

trust td06-20gH kit (manifold gate turbo(rebuilt with new seals and bearings))

intake pipe with 80mm air-flow meter + hks airfilter

injectors

remapped computer to suit

greddy turbo to intercooler pipe

all this runs on standard motor and is great value as a kit.....in this trim makes 275rwkw

i ran a 12.2 in it with 245rwkw

it is for sale for $5000

Now that seems more worth while.

Then purchase a $400 'hybrid' intercooler, $600 to spend on piping and thats your $6000 spent in a much better way. My opinion only.

Dunno about a dump pipe tho. I;m sure you guys could work something out :cool:

Is the car completly stock?

Im thinking...

$1200 for intercooler kit (can be done cheaper)

$1000 for PFC

$800 for exaust & dump pipe

$2000 for a turbo

$300 for fuel pump

$400 for a tune

Looks right on the money to me :cool:

thanx guys, by the way i didnt think u could remap the standard computer? that kit sounds good, but i cant fit it guys, id have to get my brother to. So do u think with the standard computer its capable of making that sort of power, and does anyone know of any reliable performace shops in brisbane. thank again

that stuff would be a piece of cake to install!

Guilt-Troy: you forgot injectors :cool:

Are you northside or southside?

On the gold coast there is no disputing that Gavin Wood Autotech in The Man for skylines. He does mechanical work and tuning.

There is also Matt Spry @ PITS. Tuning only i am told

on the northside i go to GRP Automotive cuz they are close to home... thats for my tuning only

this kit came on my car from japan....they can do lots of things :cool: the a/f ratios are fairly conservative....ie.in the 11s....its best utilised as a kit as its been mapped for this kit....gains can be made though a simple intercept comp or power fc if required on a later date but $$$ :headspin: :headspin:

People are making 400rwhp with stock injectors :P

Might wanna add $200 for a malpassi adj FPR

I did not think people in Australia were modding R33 computers yet, i know they can in Japan. So you would be stuck with the tune you get ? Id go the Apexi Power FC option for sure!

id put my left teste on the line the figure is :bs!: :headspin: :headspin: :headspin: ....me injectors are on 80%duty and their 550cc....me friend made 210rwkw pUSSSHHING it with a fuel reg...and 300rwkw was on 90% duty with 550cc

please explain ur figures...y bother upgrading injectors for $1000 when u can get a malpassi for $150 that does the same job :flamed: :headspin: :flamed:

You can only push a Malpassi soo far before it harms the injectory spray. I have heard a few people on this forum tell about stock rb25det injectors doing over 400rwhp.

Every car is different i guess.... There is a thread that shows that rb25 injectors running a little extra pressure do 440cc which is not a small flow rate really when you think about it.

ok guys, but still im in a loop, i spoke to mike at APC and he said theirs no way ur injectors will flow that much hp, and i really need help i dont wanna go throw $6000 down the drain for an unrealiable piece of shit. i live in coopers plains and the way that its sounding im not sure weather or not i should do anything at all, a coupkle of fellas said that id be close to detonation, also what boost can i run safley all day everyday without a frontmount.

if u get the tdo6 mentioned before.. it comes with injectors and a rich running computer.. run that on lowish boost (10psi or so) and save to get intercooler, exhaust and it should be alright.

rich running computer is a big statement to make :( ive seen many tuners a/f ratio for aftermarket computers....relative to mine i feel its not half bad :headspin: ive never seen a stoich 11.8 a/f reading on any car....if it reads 12.1 would that car be running a lean computer??? :Bang:

    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1680, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.
