What's required for an R33 in 13's?

[Hotwire]

Hi all,

Im looking at getting an 5sp R33 GTS-T soon, and am wondering what sort of mods will be required to get into a mid 13sec 1/4. By looking at the time slip registry, it would seem that around the 200-250 rwhp is required (150~185rwkw).

What sort of mods are required to produce this? Are the mods such as full exhaust from turbo back, FMIC and boost control (at what psi??) enough to get these times? The reason I ask is the car will be a daily driver, but I want it quick enough to have some fun on the weekends too.

The car simply wont be a straight line car either, the suspension will be set up for hills handling (low springs and new shocks, strut brace), so will this affect times too much?

Thanks for your help.

someone asked about that not long ago dude, i personally dont know but i saved the recommendation of parts someone posted up, they were:

" front pipe / dump pipe / hiflow cat / 3" turbo back probably $1400 ish?

the dump pipe and hiflow will give a good power upgrade as the stock system is

pretty restrictive. other cheap mods,

apexi safc $400 untuned

cold air intake kit $200

some wider tyres 245's 255's. $400 each

pineapple kit $150

pod filter with cold air intake $80 pod only

boost controller (bleed or electronic). - bleed $50 - elec $250 "

hope thats some help

My old thread, on the forced induction section '13.4 a how to.....' covers a cheap way of doing it. The gtst's are pretty good from the factory you just need a couple of mods to wake them up.

I just found that thread on the 13.4 how to. Very intersting stuff I would have thought more mods would be required. That makes me happy Thanks for the help

No worries.

A fair few more guys have run as quick or quicker (sub 13). It's pretty clear that you can get mid 13's without upgrading the intercooler which saves you some money and keeps the response of the factory engine.

I would think, full exhaust, 11psi, and decent street tyres would be enough for a 13s pass.
