Where Should I Start.....?r33 Build Up

[nsta]

Hey guys, im wanting to start getting more power from my r33, and thought this is the place to come........

To start things off,i have a 94 r33 skyline gts25t coupe,done 167,000 kms.....running very nice, had to have manifold studs replaced about 5000kms ago and thats about it.

3" rage exhaust, front pipe catback and rear muffler, no dump pipe.

Apexi Pod filter

Auto, but goes well.

Where should i go from here?, i'd like to have a daily driven, track potential street 25t, capable of around low 12's.....is this too big an ask?Considering the age of the car.

I just got a $22 boost tap before, but dont know whether to up the boost yet or not???........but i will be getting a dump pipe soon......and from there i dont know where i should start spending the money.

There is a lot of difference between what you have there and low 12's. How much money have you got to spend?

I'd budget $10k and you'll have your low second streetable R33. There was a very recent post (last week) about some guy asking the exact same question. I'll see if I can track it down.

mmm..........i was thinking of spending as i go, but from the looks of things, itd be better to have a budget in mind:)

Would you guys say it'd be a good start, having a fmic installed, and a split dump pipe fitted to start things off, then go from there?

if reliability was the key for me, would the 200ish rwkw sound about right for me to aim for?

[Dee 33]

To hit 200rwkw you'll pretty much need fmic, zorst, boost and a computer (most common PowerFC).

You'll be hard pressed hitting this without some kind of aftermarket fuel management.

I'd be getting a compression and leakdown test before anything.

*sigh*

please read the sticky thread at the top of this section.

Its contains many Links to many threads about this topic and reccomendations for modding in what order etc etc.

beginning to think i created it for nothing

I'm thinking of getting an external wastegate, any reccomendations as to how big/small i should go for 200-250rwkw, and brand type tial/hks??, and if theres any harm in getting one so early in my build up, ive heard these things sound nice on the 25-t's:)

might pay to have a look. Its not as simple as getting one

I don't know about other people, but my external gate had such a horrible note that i plumbed it back in. That was an HKS low mount manifold and HKS 38mm ex gate.

My setup sounded simply awesome combined with a very "generously" noisey exhaust i had

hehehe
