its about time i did some work on my r33

i was thinking of an engine rebuild

- some new rods (preferably off a GTR)

- some new pistons (prefer not to go forged) hypereuretic? anyone know where i can find these?

- gtr cam shaft

- some new cam gears

- probably a powerfc

- might need a new headgasket i thinks

and last but not the least A BIG A.SS TURBO :flamed:

what else would i need?

trying to keep within a budget of about 7grand provided i get the gtr parts relatively cheap :P

any suggestions / ideas welcome ta

nothing wrong with it lol, just time to see wat kinda power i can make it produce, oh 7K is just my starting budget , so as i keep working and the money keeps rolling in, id say it'll be upwards of 10K, but id like not to spend more than 10 if possible

You'll need 7k for the motor alone.

And you dont want forgies why? If you want a "big ass turbo" your gonna need them.

I suggest you do a search mate. This has been covered in far more detail that the slight bit you have touched on in your first post.

5600... for the 'kit' add 2 grand for machining and assembling..

you aint got nufing left if your tryin to budget 7k... if your goin to budget.. do it reasonably maybe 15k will get you almost everything to suit the 'big ass turbo' or yes simply do all the bolt ons and get it running rich as **** so you dont risk leaning out the engine n melting pistons 6 and a few others...

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
