Hey guys,
Just bought myself a r33 gtst about a month ago as a base to start building up on.
The car is by far stock right now the previous owner new what he was doing but never really put any serious engine mods on.
So Yea my first issue i had was, trying to put a BOV ( atmos) instead of the stock one it comes with, I'm just driving along and i put clutched in and the car died so i started crapping myself and put the stock one back, did a bit of research and discovered that its because the engines running to rich or something, so i get why it was choking but nowhere/noone mentioned how to solve this problem. So my first question would be, to run a aftermarket atmospheric BOV what do u need to have done air/fuel wise i guess to prevent it stalling/ is it possible for me to have one on with my current specs. Im running a stock ecu and an afm
Secondly i was looking at getting an ECU I'm just pretty confused with what to get and like most of my mates bought their cars with ecus / didn't have to pay for their cars thanks to their mom n dad but id like to know and understand what I'm putting in my car, as well as not pay 1.7g for an apex just cause everyone has it. I see that apex comes with a hand controller option where u can tweak the settings yourself, but honestly that sort of thing is not for me, plus I've gathered that the power fc isn't a piggyback its a full takeover stock ecu isn't it. I was wondering if i got something like the Greddy emanate ecu, would that do the job? Cause basically all I'm after getting the parts i want, getting someone who knows more then me to dyne tune it and fix the settings, and if i wanted to change it id go back to my tuner. Hence would piggyback ecu's like Greddy do the job for me?
Ill bundle the last few things i was going to get together, Firstly I'm really keen on a high mount stainless manifold to replace the stock one as well as getting rid of the stock turbo and either putting on a KLS T70 or pcp 430.. possibly a garret 35/40 if i manage to get a decent price. Im not looking of running any crazy boosts or ever achieving more then 400hp out of my car so i won't need a crazy turbo, hence I'm guessing any one of those turbos would work. With replacing the manifolds and turbos, did the whole engine have to be taken out, cause I've been reading bolt on everywhere but when i pop the hood on the car, it seems a little more then screwing and unscrewing a couple of bolts.
Lastly, I was thinking of getting 550cc nismo injectors and upgrading my fuel pump as a few mates told me those cause significant power increased. Well thats all the things id like to start off with for now really and i would just like some help figuring out the best way to go about doing it/ any other helpful suggestions that i should do instead or as well!
Any replies would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Immy
