Hey guys,

I would just like some opinions on what i am planning to do to my R33 as the next stage and what other may recommend to do.

The goal is around 250 - 260rwkw's at around 1.2 bar (i understand some lag is expected).

I have already

FMIC, Power FC, AVCR, 3" exhaust with dump pipe, Bosch fuel pump, fuel reg, BOV, heavy duty single plate clutch. I am currently running standard turbo, injectors and air flow meter.

I have decided to upgrade my turbo, injectors and AFM in one hit and have the cash ready to go but the 2 options i can think of are

1) HKS GT-RS (brand new $2800 from Nengun performance), 555cc injectors (jap brand $650) and a Z32 AFM $300

2) High fow standard turbo ($1500 if i had to guess), 555cc injectors (jap $650) & AFM $300

I really wanna buy a new turbo as i don't like buying second hand stuff but i will save alot on getting my standard turbo high flow'd (even though i am not a fan of rebuilding the standard and using existing gate,actuator, oil & water lines)

If i was to get the HKS kit it come with new lines, heavy duty actuator and wastegate.

Opinions on high flows? Any advice?

Cheers guys

I just got mine highflowed. With this highflow set up i got it'll be very hard to reach 250 mark at 1.2 bar. With those types of figures you'll probably wanna get the RS.

However with my case being EPA'd played a big part in my decision to get it highflowed over a newer, bigger turbo.

I got a GTRS installed couple of weeks ago and got 255rwkw at 1.2 bar still have standard air flow meter so have to get Z32 so maybe a bit more in it and some better resolution in the tune. My mods are very similar to yours full 3 inch exshaust, FMIC, PFC, nismo 555cc injector, exhaust cam, lightened flywheel and ceramic clutch, spitfire coils and bosch 044 fuel pump. I couldn' t be happier great balance of response and power. I my main problem now is keeping traction in first gear. Also got $300 back for old turbo and i does come with new lines, heavy duty actuator and wastegate.

You can get a GT30 with a nissan exhaust housing.

 

I dunno how much power you'll get out of that though.

i have seen a r33 that got about 250rwkw from it , but it was running std injectors with a fuel reg to boost the pressure so that might have limited it

i dont know what kind of response it would have compared to the gtrs

Interesting thread. Seems some people only make 240ish with the GCG Hiflow and others make up around 260ish.

I guess it depends on how much power you are making before you go the P/FC + Turbo.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
