Hi there, My car is an R33. I've looked but I cannot find any info. I noticed the other day that when I flicked on the air con a red light came up on the right hand side of the dash. It had what looks like heat waves coming off a pipe like figure. It only comes on when I turn the air con on. When I turn it off it disappears. Is it somethin to worry about? I wondered if it was some kind of exhaust sensor that has been disconnected when I had my 3" put in. cheers, Dan

Just Been Z32 Tuned
senilykSkylines replied to senilykSkylines's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
But then again putting it on a dyno and letting someone fiddle with it is taking someone's word for it just as much as someone tuning from a distance, is it not? -

I will aim to put it on a dyno since I have clearly been put wrong or misunderstood. I am learning when it comes to tuning cars and I am reasonably sure that my car is in good running order (hence being confident) yet I do want to check everything out and get a power figure Just getting some weird answers from different people keep confusing me lol. I also made sure I got rid of the weak point and that is the fuel pump. The local guy said that he thought with the mods that I have done it might reach 150rwkw on his dyno which is a load of rubbish in my opinion after reading results on this site for some time. ...who doesn't chase figures? lol. -

senilykSkylines replied to senilykSkylines's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
I phoned a local guy and he told me that figures ranges hugely on different dynos... to quote him he said one might say 140rwkw and another 220! Sounds like waste of time to me. My cousin said he dynoed his subaru and it came to 380awkw. He said he doubted it made that much power and he thought it was more like that power at the flywheel. Everything is running sweet on my car as far as I know... there is no knocking sound etc, everyhting going smooth. Doing a premapped tune as opposed to a full dyno test retune is about $300 to $900... big difference. -

Yes it was Andy from X-tunes. From my understanding 190rwkw was a safe tune lol. I might have to travel down there to dyno it. I just don't know how worth it is since dynos don't sound very accurate. -

Trust me this guy has had heaps of experience tuning many skylines and he has done the same tune for others... so he tells me lol. -
Hi guys, I have just had my gts25t tuned to 190rwkw Torque is amazing and power is great! The mods are as follows: -3" turbo back exhaust -Walbro Gss342 fuel pump -GFB Boot T -Tuned Z32 ecu. Running 10-12psi. Stock turbo Stock intercooler I sent the chip away to a tuner in Auckland who did a pre-planned map for 190rwkw. I have not had it on a dyno and don't know if I will bother. I phoned a guy who ran a Dyno locally and he said that results vary greatly from each dyno. Some would read 140rwkw and another 200 rwkw. He thought with my mods I would reach 150rwkw on his dyno?! I thought it would be doing that with just a 3" exhaust. Seemed pointless to me? So, would it be safe to say that my car with those mods would be reaching 190rwkw? I know it feels definitely faster than stock. Also, for curiosity sake, what cars could I match with running that kind of power? cheers, Dan

Walbro Intank Fuel Pump Installation?
senilykSkylines replied to senilykSkylines's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
I was reading through the bosch guide and new pipes/hoses were being cut etc. My kit came with some wires, a filter and the actual pump, but no pipes. Can't I just use the original ones there or do I need to go to a shop and get some correct sizing hoses? My pump is a Walbro GSS 342. Sounds a lot easier than I thought -
Walbro Intank Fuel Pump Installation?
senilykSkylines replied to senilykSkylines's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Sounds like you guys do them all day... lol Um, I don't even know if I have to take out the fuel tank?? I think I do though. The instructions I got with it were not car specific but they showed how to actually connect the pump. I need the first step like... where the pump actually is! I'll have a look at the bosch guide and I'll give it a go this weekend. cheers, Dan -
Hey guys, Could someone please help me find a DIY for installing the fuel pump into my R33 gtst 1997 4 door? cheers! Dan
-
Hi guys, Just try'n to look up some info. I would like to run 10-11 psi with a boost T I got ready to install. How high can I actually go before rich and retard kicks in? Would I need to install and retune with a new ecu chip or get a different air flow meter? What actually causes it and can i get that kind of boost from the stock ecu? I hear some people talk about an R32 actuator... does that help? I got only a 3" turbo back exhaust at the moment and getting 8psi. A walbro fuel pump is on the way though. Still learning... regards, Dan
-
I don't know what one I got to be honest... all I know is it works awesome. It sounds mean too! really raw compared to the four inch tip I had. I think I will put a resonator in still just to quieten it down a bit. It inly has a single muffler at the moment. I think I will wait for a fuel pump before I install my boost T. Once those two are installed I might go for a dyno run.
-
Just had a 3" turbo back exhaust done. Wow, makes a difference. I am even getting 5 1/2psi boost down low and 8psi up high. Great upgrade. Haven't done a dyno yet but I would be curious as to what power its doin now... I'll do the free boost mod soon hopefully
-
As the title asks, how far will the stock fuel pump take me on my R33? I am conversing with a tuner and he said that they need to be upgraded by about 170rwkw... is this true? I seemed to remember seeing others on here with more kw than that on stock pumps. I need to know before I do some tweaking. cheers, Daniel (I can't find any info through the search)
-
I'm not expecting it to be quiet. I want a rumble... but I just don't want it loud enough to get my ears...or the little one's.
-
Many thanks guys, Depends what you mean by "quiet" I got a 3-4 inch tip on the back at the moment and it rumbles. It only gets my ears going slowly up a hill. 90dB unless I am mistaken is rather loud. I've got a little bubby expected early next year so I want it to be soft on his/her ears... but I want performance as well cheers

Hey guys, I have got a boost T ready to hook up but I want to get an exhaust done first. I have been recommended by others to get a 3" turbo back exhaust so I booked in my car for a quote. The exhaust guy said that 3" is too big and will be too loud (I don't want it loud. just performance) and suggested that all I would need is to take out the cat converter and run a straight 2.5" pipe through from where the cat was. The rest of the stock pipe is 2.5" but it changes to a 2" half way down which he recons is all I need to take out in order to get some good performance. Getting told millions of different things. It is cheaper to do the 2.5" obvously, but is it worth it? Some help and/or experience of different exhausts would be great thanks!

FINALLY! After much toil and suffering, it is done! I sent it up through the bonnet release catch's grommet and managed to find it and pull it through to the engine bay. For others who try to do it this way... the grommet that the bonnet catch runs through must have a sock-like thing that the cable runs through after the grommet. I tried for ages to push the vac/boost line through but it always only made it a couple of cm and wouldn't go any further. I pushed a number 8 wire up there in the end and poked a hole through the sock and then sent the vac/boost line up through that hole (I had to push and feel for it). I hope there isn't anything wrong with doing it like that... Glad that nightmare is over for such an apparently simple process.

Hey defari, Looks like we lost those last few posts! I am still keen for that pic. As I said in the wiped post, the furtherest I got was getting it into the side panel behind the wheel. I am guessing this is not the route because I could find no way through to the foot-bay area. thank you for your time!
-
Ok, intensely frustrating. I took the kick board off and tried to feed the line through down there... no sign of it. So I took a box off with the letter "J" and looked behind it and it seems like an inclosed panel with a wall where my line should be coming through. Hmmm. Is the reason that I cannot find it because I am using a bendy/curly bit of pipe that came with the gauge? It may not be reaching down there. Am I looking in the right place? cheers, Dan P.S. Thanks for the photos! Though I think the connecting the T bit seems the easy part.
-
Thanks mate. I think I get ya. I'll have a go next time I have day light and time after work. If I am still lost I'll ask for a pic!
-
Sorry for my ignorance but what do you mean by kick panel? Is that the plastic cover just to the right of the throttle pedal that seems to cover a whole lot of wires on the side? cheers
-
Haven't got it done yet since it was getting dark. I'll have another shot at it when I have a bit more time.
-
Yeah, bit of an archeological thread this one...
-
I second that! Just tryin to feed it through to under the steering wheel area and getting nowhere. I am feeding it through a hole just a little bottom left of where the throttle cable exits the firewall. Is this the correct hole? where is it suppose to come out? Or do I drill a hole lol.
