Mate's Supra RZ, 2JZ-GTE in Melbourne made 235 rwkw at 1.3 bar with BP Ultimate. It's a black one with 19s and no spoiler, not sure if any of you guys seen it. Quite prominent. Tuned at ICE performance.

Mods:

K&N Pod filter

FMIC

Fujitsubo Cat back

HKS Dump and front pipe

i think 740 CC injectors

Bosch 040 fuel pump

Power FC

Apexi SAFC

and tomei poncams if i'm not wrong

the supra pulls hard all the way past 140km/h i reckon.

Ugly interior though, looks like a WW2 aircraft cockpit

2JZ-GTE into an R33 is stupidity in my opinion.  2JZ with the 6 speed costs an absolute fortune, and an RB26 can make similar power.  If you really want the BIG CUBE straight six, you could probably build a killer RB30DETT for less than a 2JZ engine swap.  The cost of installing a 2JZ would be phenomenal.

Add up how much it will cost to build a killer RB30DETT. To get it built with forged internals will cost more than the whole conversion it self. I picked up my half cut for $3900 (auto not manual) and the only additional cost to a rb30dett engine conversion is engine and gearbox mounts. Every thing else sits close enough to a rb that it wont cost alot to connect or needs to be done with the Rb anyway. A manual 2JZ would probably cost more but my auto conversion with tricked up auto will cost less.

Thanks mate interesting my car was also tuned at ice performance. did you mean apexi avcr (boost controler) not apexi safc (air fuel ratio bender)? would be pointless to have a power fc and safc.

That is the best option I think, a built RB30 bottom on the RB25, my mate just did one, it costs about the same as the second hand 2JZ-GTE, and I am guessing will hold the same power as a 2JZ-GTE. I wouldnt bother trying to get a 2JZ-GTE into an R33, although, I have always wanted to put one in an RX7 and show up to a Mazda cruise... just to you know, cause some trouble. :P

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
