Considering the fact that you're not allowed to modify your engine performance in any way, there aren't any methods that are legal for you.

A better, and legal, way to reduce the time it takes you to get from A to B is to learn how to f**king drive first. Walk before you run, dude.

wats the best way to get power in non turbo  r33

if your willing to pull the engine out , put a rb30 bottm end under it and use the rb25de pistons ( give 10.5 - 1 compression ) or get block decked to take it up to 11.0-1 , about the limit for premium unleaded .

a set of cams

an after market ecu or just an apexi safc 2

rb25det injectors 370 cc as against stock 270 cc

extractors with 2 1/4 " or 2 1/2" exhaust

cold air intake

dyno tune

fark u know some good stuff bout skylines

wat bout extractors

I dotn like your tone (if intended sound sarcastic or not).

If some one bother to answer your noob quesion at least thank them, dont reply with 'F' words.

as above, do SEARCH!!!

as for your mods DO A SEARCH!!!

cheers

dont bother, ur wasting other peoples time trying to explain to u how its not worth it and wasting ur own time trying to prove otherwise

just as scathing said: learn to drive, earn more money, and get a turbo model

The guy's a new P plater (or otherwise he'd apparently have a GTSt with a "big blower" :) ) so he's not allowed to modify it. If he didn't care about remaining legal, he would have just lived his life-long dream of owning a car that makes offensive noises for the sake of making noise.

ey, what do ya mean by get the block decked??? n how much does this kinda engine work cost?? how hard is it to change the bottom end over to an rb30??? n is it really worth it?? do you have any ideas what kinda figures the engine could pull??

block the deck ie. shave the block, in order to raise the compression.

the price will depend on how deep your pocket is and how much of the work you do yourself.

changing the bottom end is swapping the block - how hard it is depends on what you do, what head you decide to use and what you want to incorporate into it.

you can do a basic build with stock parts and balanced bits, or you can go all out with lightweight pistons, knifebladed crank, shotpeend rods, etc etc etc.... and can be anything up to 5k+

then you'll need an aftermarket ecu, or piggyback, tune, maybe want to consider a brake upgrade.

the key to NA engines is high revs (ie. formula1 and ~18000 rpm) so you'd be looking at fixing the harmonic issues with RB30s (engine cradle) and around 9000 rpm, again depending on your wallet. and also high compression.

advantages are: linear power in the rev range, and a torquey mofo with 3L bottom end, driveability.

in a nut shell its worth is your personal opinion. are you looking at power:money, or uniqueness:money, or 1/4time:money, fuel:money, etc. guestimate would be around from anywhere 170rwkw~200rwkw, even more depending on how far you'd like to go.

i'll be looking at this conversion in future if uni fees decide to be friendly with me - so MAYBE expect a worked NA in future.

cheers

eug

hmmm what i always say is it comes to driving, i know a fair few guyz with r33 and r32 and 180's and i know most of them dont know how to launch at all, if you perfect your driving in your NA it wouldnt suprize me if you stayed equal or even beat them! also dont put a POD unless you use some sort of cold air induction or heat sheild coz it will make it worse.

and exhaust... thats about it, but if you really want to gain a lil KW, maybe cams and upgrade fuel system.

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
