Ok guys, my 165rw/kw is getting bit too plain now.. Needing more shove in the back acceleration :D My R33 is virtually stock as a rock except for the 3" split dump and 3" exhaust and K&N panel filter... Now my next mods are:

FMIC

Aftermarket ECU + Boost Controller

Injectors

Fuel Pump

My questions is, what specs of each Mod should I go for in order to accommodate future engine re-build or larger turbo... in other words what FMIC size would be good enough for a larger or hi-flowed turbo and 15+ psi? What size injectors and fuel pump would be sufficient for 250+rw/kw applications? etc...

Another thing, what mods are recommended to increase bottom end power? up until 4500 RPM when the VCT kicks in, there isn’t much power on bottom end as shown on my dyno graph...

Thanks heaps guys! Any info will be greatly appreciated!!!

Well R33's come out of the factory with a lead+iron composite monocoque, so acceleration is a problem :D.

ECU+EBC will help bring the full boost on earlier. For 250kw+ you will need to look at injectors, fuel pump (Bosch 040/044) and a bigger turbo.

the first question to ask is what do you want to do with the car?

from there you may have an idea about what sort of accelleration, handling and braking you want to aim for in a compromise with driving in traffic.

Power is only one aspect.

i dont belive that you will need injectors for 250 as i have 300 rwkw with stock ones but i suggest you get a huge mofo pump like a 044 and a bigger fuel pressure reg a ecu and bigger turbo fmic ebc and bobs your uncle if he can tune lol

Ummm nope, injectors and pump in R33's are meant to be at max around the 200rwkw from what i beleive....

he isnt talking about a standard pump he is talking about having a huge pump and fuel reg to achieve the absolute max out of standard injectors. Whether you could achieve 300rwkw im not agreeing though you certainly achieve more then 200rwkw with various other fuel system modifications.

Ummm nope, injectors and pump in R33's are meant to be at max around the 200rwkw from what i beleive....

umm yes you can maybe you should try it as i have i have a bosch 044 motorsport pump surge tank malpassi rise n rate fuel pressure reg and i get more than enough fuel for my car

pick a power figure and how much money you have then aim for that, dont pick one and then go ill maybe change it later on cos you may buy the wrong parts. my advice go for a drive in a 200rwkw skyline and then decide. its at least 6k of parts involved to get 200rwkw. my next step for your car would be ecu and fmic + boost controller.

yeah but it wont drive no where near as nice and safe as a properly tuned and setup car. ie ecu, fuel pump, split dump exhaust. and i would also doubt that power without a piggyback

fmic 1200

exhust 1200

ecu 1000

boost controller 300

tyres 500

suspension 1000

cold air intake 350

thats using rough pricing, which is reasonable also

sorry i wasnt talking about suspension i was just talking about motor mods

yes i belive he might have something wrong with those injectors at 90% with my power i have at the moment im overfueling the car and thats with over 300rwkw

This is a package i do regularly for customers.

1) Walbro 500hp intank pump $310.........no need for surge tank or reg etc.

2) Hi flow turbo (bush bearing) $1350.......uses all factory plumbing & ducting

3) Apexi Power FC $950..........plug in, no installation cost.

4) eBoost1 on special for $550.........note that car will see 15psi with hiflow turbo. so if thats enough, you wont have to worry about boost controller & sometimes can get away without computer. If yor looking to run anymore boost then ECU and EBC are necessary.

5) Good quality intercooler & pipework, either PWR or Hyperflow core with long pipe being before core and not after like you see on most cheap kits. $1000

6) Good quality split dump & cat, whic you already have.

This package is extremely streetable, cheap to install and retains stock appearance under the bonnet.

Will see between 200kw 230kw.

Tune car & see what you make, upgrade injectors where necessary.

hahah oh ok..

Hey Paul, what is your thoughts on nankangs?

They have them around the corner from my house (45-235-17) for $150 balanced and fitted. Ive heard drifters use them even in competition. Though I guess grip isnt an issue.

I previously had bridgestone Re040's which were around $330.

cheers

Thats each aswell not for 2 hahahahah

off topic but ive tried pzero's 255, dunzlop dz101's 255 and now hankooks 255. i never heard anything good about the nanhanks and sound like a cheap tyre to me. good rubber is generally a fair bit, i was suprised on the pricing for the hankooks

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
