Hey i just recently purchased a r33 S1, and am goign through the process of workign out whats been done...

As far as i know it has the following

GCG Hi-flow turbo (happily discovered last night)

Aftermarket dump pipe welded onto a hi-flow cat, and i think 3" exhast thereafter.

HKS Pod Filter

Blitz FMIC

GFB BOV

Turbosmart Dual Stage Boost Controller

Apexi Turbo Timer

Stock ECU

Now I am thinking about upgrading the fuel pump, so i opened up the cover in the boot, and just see a few fuel hoses and sum gland thing.... which everythign goes down into... Do i have to take this gland thing off the find out what fuel pump i have. If someone can enlighten me on this process it would be great, and also how to tell if its a stock fuel pump in there now.

I was also thinking if the car may have injectors? or would this require the mapping of an aftermarket ecu? hence ruling out injectors?

That said I will soon be installing a PFC, and not sure wether i should get the PFC Boost Control add-on... or another after market electronic boost controller, such as an AVC-R? I would prefer to stick with a PFC addon, as dont really want extra gadgets unneccesarily, however am unsure of the accuracey, reliability and the ability for a PFC B-controller to hold boost, and wether boost can be tuned through the rev range with this unit?

Also i want to install an oil catch can some time this week, however all the cans i have seen only have 1 inlet 1 outlet.... i want a 100% plumback can, that i can have easy access to baffle, and require 2 inlets and 2 outlets.. should i just use "T joiners" or will this restrict flow. Am i better of just making my own?

Sorry bout the overly long post... just wishign to clear up a few things i am unsure of... thanx in advance, and please keep the suggestions reasonable... and dont go suggesting i get this and this and that to get 500rwkw.. more than happy to get 250rwkw at the end of the day

:) thanx

basically u would need some form of management to change injectors so that probably rules that out and the pump also (usually)

the powerfc boost kit offers basic boost control , it does not offer gear / rpm / duty based boost control , auto turbo learning boost control (where you do some 7000rpm runs and it automatically learns your boost curve) , scramble mode or any of the ricey stuff . although this stuff may or may not be usefull to you for the price difference (bugger all) you might as well get the avcr , atleast it can be removed and sold if you have to its not tied to the powerfc and you might want those extra features one day . There is a thread covering this if you want to search

with a powerfc , injectors and pump you should see 250rwkw . the turbo will be the restriction so perhaps plan a slightly bigger fuel system that could support 300+ incase you decide to get a bigger turbo later

thanks for your suggestion, i called GCG turbos, and they said the turbo is good for 260kw and 24psi boost...

but as you said i will require injectors and pump, as i want it to be a reliable 250rwkw...

Should i be leaning towards upgrading fuel lines aswell, and will a fuel regulator be in order?

Your stock injectors will look a purpleish color.

To take the black ring off to gain access to the tank then ur pump u will need a bar and a hammer.Sit the bar a groove then keep beating it counter clockwise untill u get it open.It may take a while but it is by far the only way to undo it.And make sure u put it back on the same way it came off.:)(I used a car jack bar and hammer)

Get into this thread catchcan plumbing question it tells all u need to know,with pics too,about catch can plumbing and will also help u decide what style setup u need.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
