13.4 second 1/4 for your 'stockish' R33. (A how to guide).

[8thSIN]

yeh it does, thanks J. but I have used a blitz and HKS SQV on my 180SX which is now currently on my 98 rex and had no such probs like they had in terms of low boost and then presing the clutch in so I kinda figured it's got something to do with skyline's?

Cause I have fitted a few bov's to skyline's b4 and a few of them didn't even work! as in won't vent off for some reason.

[Jay95R33]

Yepp, I think the Skylines are really sensitive to it

[redline2003]

doesnt the bak fire/stalling come from having the stock AFM? as the air going in is measuered but then vented out wifout the ecu knowing?

G'day Rev210,

could you tell where did you get your lightweight flywheel from, and how much did it cost you?

Also what sort of affect did it have on daily driving eg. going up hills etc?

[rev210]

takakaira.com.jp is where I got my flywheel from (ogura brand )

depends on freight and exchange rate, $600?

[muaythailuke]

couldnt get web page to work rev210

thanks though man

[Dsturbd]

33 4 door run 13.40 and spent less than a $1000 on it .. :headspin:

Auto with front mount & 3 inch turbo back......

made 280rwhp

[rev210]

geez a fmic kit and exhaust for less than $1000!

[Guest INASNT]

geez a fmic kit and exhaust for less than $1000!

yes sounds like :bs!:

[Guest MFX_R33]

Yeah, was that time also run on a BS meter (G-Tech)?????

Jeff.

[Dsturbd]

We made the exhaust in mild steel 3inch and the cooler cut down from a truck ... time was run at kwinana moterplex ..

made 278hp on SST dyno in shoot out mode...

Not the first to think its bullshit and wont be the last ..

[rev210]

ah.. Backyard workshops strike again! You just can't beat that kind of value for money. Good work.

although most people won't be able to get away with cheaper than $2k to do the same thing without their very own backyard workshop.

[Dsturbd]

Backyard workshop hahahaha..NOT :headspin:

just have to know the right people ...

[rev210]

where are the 'right people' in W.A then?

Can all the guys in Perth get the same deal

[Dsturbd]

200ks south of perth is where you find the RIGHT people

should see the air boxs we do .. :aroused:

Allo all,

I'm new to the forums and was just bringing myself up to speed when i noticed this jem of a thread.

Now i've recently bought myself a 94 r33 GT-ST (M-spec i beleive but hey new to skylines so i could be wrong) and i've been having a long hard think about what i'm going to do and how i'm going to make it matter by getting as much of that power to the tarmac with mimimum loss of traction, so all of this is of great interest.

So far it seems that the biggest problem with what your all trying to discover (stock BOVs vs 3rd party Atmos V's, LSD and tyre diameter) is that you dont have a baseline. So far everyones comparing their work and results but as we can all see, what works for one lad wont nessecerily work for the next. To me this would be because everyone, to some extent at least, have already got themselves knee deep into their mods so results will vary.

Now i find myself in an intersting situation... My new GT-ST so far is almost as stock as a rock. Besides a K&N pod filter, a 3inch cat back with 4inch tip and an apexi timer (all came with the thing) not a bean has been changed, tuned or tweaked (i even have the original panel filter with cold air box in the boot). So making the right decision first time would be nice.

Now what this leads me to think is "what a great opp to dispell a few myths or incorrect beliefs" not that i have the answers, i dont i have none, but i wouldnt mind finding the definative answers once and for all.

So basically over the next X amount of time my little baby will be getting a course of steroids, and i thought it might be a nice idea if i tested and checked things as i went, hopefully getting us all the info required to find that magic mix of parts (oh and air fuel too).

So people please tell me, what do you wish you'd checked out before starting work? is there anything you would want to try out or do differently if u got your hands on another stock unit (or near to it)?

Maybe as i do my work i can measure this or that and give you figures based on a near to stock unit, or alternatively updates as each bits goes on and is tuned (ie a third party BOV fitted as part of upgrade "A" that gave crap results but came good after adding upgrade "B").

I'll be heading down to Eastern Creek in the near future to set myself an unmodded time, something to compare all the work i do to it against. You never know what the results might turn up.

Ok truth be told i just wanted to say "CRAP WHERE DO I START!!?!?!?!?" but i wanted to make it sounded interesting, involved and full of possibilities. And you never know... doing up a skyline with parts chosen by general consensus might have interesting (or expensive) results.

I hate making mistakes, maybe with all your help i can avoid a few and maybe help others do the same.

Have fun all.

Messiah

[Dsturbd]

We just fitted a 3inch turbo back exhaust with one of our air boxs and made 236hp in shoot out mode ....

10psi and stock everything else :headspin:

[benm]

Ok truth be told i just wanted to say "CRAP WHERE DO I START!!?!?!?!?"

Remove the K&N Pod filter and put the standard box back on. Then sell the Pod Filter and buy a K&N "panel filter" to put inside your standard nissan box. This will do 2 main things:

* Keep the cops off your arse for having an exposed Pod Filter

* Get a direct feed of cold air thru the standand snorkel attached to the box.

Hot air = Bad.

Cold air = Good.

So far your cost is $0.

The next thing to do is fit a 3" front/dump pipe and a 3" Cat to your current 3" Cat-back exhaust system. You will instantly notice a difference mid-range and also off-throttle and dyno runs will show you a good 10rwkw extra power over the standard nissan exhaust, it will also raise your boost by around 2psi.

Your now up to ~$750

Next thing would be to get yourself a set of "pineapples" (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...=before%2Fafter) and this will improve the backend under accelleration.

That bumps you to ~$900.

I'm sure that will cover you for a month or 2, seeya at WSID.

[Dsturbd]

$750 for front pipe & cat fitted ...sounds a bit rich .. shop around for the best price....

[riggaP]

I used:

* Ceramic puck sprung clutch and stock pressure plate

By this do you mean you changed just the clutch plate and kept everything else stock? How much is this mod going to set me back?
