dr-drift cannot retune R33's....yet

[TTT]

I'll pass on the drive thanks mate..

I figure I can buy a set of bob jane all rounders and drive around in rwd mode when it rains and get the same effect as you.

AND, tell everyone it is due to my intacoolah uleh

[TTT]

I might actually get a bigger intracoolah... one that is WIDER than the car.. that should give me heaps more power.

[Triskillion]

haha

[mad082]

it chirped 4th before the cooler, but does it better now. and i have decent tyres. and i didn't say the intercooler was he reason it chirped.

[TTT]

ok.. please tell me what mods you have.. I m dieing to know..

cat back and hks filter?

[Freddy Kruger]

ok.... lol

Is bigger better with intercoolers? is thicker better, i can get Hybrid 600x300x100 fairly cheap, but is it neccessary for say a mid power streetcar?

3" front pipe, 3.5" cat back, 10psi, twin plate clutch, front mount, pod. 225/50/16 tyres

I had tubo back exhaust, SAFC2, and 10psi of boost before I installed my hybrid cooler. After the install I had to regap my plugs and get the safc retuned as the car was braking down due to the higher and more efficient air flow. Please note thats without increasing the boost, once tuned it made a huge difference heaps more power and I could not notice the difference in thottle responce. Very worth while mod from my experience but do your exhaust, gap plugs to 0.8, and get a SAFC2 or Power FC first. I made 195rwkw on 10psi not holding boost. I suspect I would be making just over 200rwkw now, its holding 11.5psi to red line, I have installed also a sheilded Pod filter and a cold air feed.

I think what most are trying to get at is the intercooler it self won't actively give you a power increase but by fitting it you will enable the motor to produce the power it's capable of by removing the restrictive, heat soaked and poorly positioned factory unit! An aftermarket unit will

A, generally flow better due to the piping and larger core size/design . . . . and

B, cool better due to sheer size and positioning for max air flow through it

So the combination of a cooler charge and less restriction (less pressure drop) = a cooler slightlty higher pressure charge at the manifold which we all know means a better burn and more power!

And alot more consistant charge temps to boot!

[Black_CSR]

So getting a SAFC or PowerFC is the first thing to get then an FMIC???

Cuz i have the same mods exactly..(HKS Pod, Turbo Back, Stock BOV) n running 10-11 Boost... according to the Stock Boost Gauge.. which is 3/4 way up to Full..

Can u Increase the Boost More once u get a FMIC??

Chirping gears doesn't prove a car is fast. It simply proves you have a very good clutch, hard tyres and slam the gear damn hard.

Chirping gears is stupid, it puts un-necessary strain on gearbox's and will stuff your diff early.

Every R33 I've seen run more than std boost picks up power when you drop an fmic on them. Its not much, hardly noticable.

R32's... Well mine didn't.

[TTT]

but it's hektik to chirp on gear change.

I can chirp all 5 wheels (including the spare in the boot) 6th gear on my rb20 powered gts4, down hill, on drag slicks..

i have exhaust, filter, 11 psi boost and a boost gauge that has 7 colours.

oh I forgot to mention I have a fmic...

NO NO NO

Install the fmic FIRST then do a Safc or Pfc.... otherwise you're up for 2 tunes, like me! doh. I had a safc yadayadayada etc, put in an Apexi fmic, too much airflow stuffed up the safc tune, couldnt boot it anymore, needed a retune (although I had a Sitc waiting to be tuned too, so I needed to go on the dyno again anyway)

I should have been more specific like tangles said get your intercooler installed then install you safc or power fc or you will be up for 2 tunes like us. Many have found with the increase of airflow the stock ECU cant handle it and will result on overly rich AFR which causes flat spots hench the recomendation of SAFC or Power FC. Personly I would not run anymore than 11psi

cheers
