Hey guys, well the time has come, like for many of you, for me to upgrade the perfomance of my car. I have decieded to keep my car rather then selling it for an R, and hence need a little more ooomph out of my 33 gtst.
Basically I am lookin at aproximately 250-260rwkw's ++ Anything above that would be a bonus. Will be keeping stock internals.
In regards to which turbo to use, i am not sure yet, most probably a highflowed unit as i want the setup lookin a stock as possible. Meaning I will be using stock manifold. As the stock manifold is quite restrictive, would there be any benefit in gettin the dremel out and cleaning up the rough parts of the casting to increase flow? I was thinking of doing this while the car would be off the road.
Fuel pump will be a Bosch 044 unit mounted intank, however I was told that a 040 would be sufficient if not the same when mounted intank, is the correct? As im only aiming for 250-260rwkws, can i keep the stock injectors, and add an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator. Would you recommend a Malpassi Rising Rate or a Nismo FPR? Also I will remove the injectors before install and get them cleaned and flow tested.
Ecu will be a powerfc and will be using a z32 afm. I am undecided on a boost controller at the moment. Either continue to use my GFB bleeder of get a Hybrid Stage 3 EBC. I will also need a new wastegate actuator. I plan on running 15psi + so would a R32 wastegate actuator be able to hold that, or would i need a HKS item?
My clutch is currently a heavy duty item, i have no idea if it will last, but will keep it and see what happens with the new power level it will be making. Also at time of install, i will be getting a new split dump pipe, and will make a custom intake pipe for my HKS pod and z32 AFM.
I have also thrown in the air the possibilty of getting some head porting done? Would it be worthwhile considering what I am planning. I will also be building a waterspray kit for my FMIC activated my WOT switch (wait for my DIY guide ). Also forgot to mention I have an adjusable Cam gear on exhaust side. How much would some Tomei Poncams cost?
I think thats about everything. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I look forward to your replies
