Is an after market chip really that good of a bang for your buck mod on a resonabley stock car ? Cause I'm looking at getting a FMIC in the very near future (as well as getting my brakes done, machined and new pads) and then upping the boost a bit with a bleed valve. Then hopefully getting the dump pipe/front pipe done with a 3 1/4|1/2 depending on how much moneys left over.

The 32 ECU's are remapable (to a certain degree) aren't they ? Cause I read in Zoom a while ago, with a fuel pump, boost valve (to 14 psi though) and a remap they got 160rwkw on a stock 32gts-t.

Do you think a PFC for $2000 would be the best dollars spent though ? Currently all i've got as far as power performance is a catback zorst. Getting a bleeder shortly though.

I'm doing work on ecu's atm on r32's using an s-afc as well I need some dyno time to see how it goes the best bang for your buck mod you could do is to bolt the turbo from a vg 30 or an rb25 and you will make 170 rwkw hp at least at around 10-12 psi but I'd get a bigger fuel pump as well and a bigger fmic you don't need to spend 2k on an fmic if you only going to chase 170-180 rwkw you just need something bigger than what you have.

a s/hand one will do.

Well I'm looking at getting a FMIC at the minute, i'm looking at getting a decent sized cooler as i'm looking at around 200rwkw in the future. So I don't want to have to do it again. I will be looking at getting a VG30 turbo in the next round of semi/major mods. Probably with a fuel pump in between.

bump that - get a T04, thats what i am probably gunna do. :P

I am getting my S-AFC soon too, can't wait!! :P

Then i will tune for 12psi and i should be getting ~180rwkw (I am gettin 162rwkw now on 9psi with no S-AFC).

NOZILR!!

OK guys - that's really good feedback -

i can see merit in FMIC and boost contoller straight up. Gives colder (more dense) air and more boost (without detination right ??) Then ECU 'cause factory one is Shiet. I wanna know what dump pipe is, and what is the benefit ?? Then, bigger turbo (makes sense - more O2) After that you need more fuel right - ECU can only do so much so injectors need to be bigger right ??

Has anyone done a short shifter mod ?? Don't know how much benefit on the 1/4 it would be, but sounds like FUN.

PRANK - is there a local shop to Nth Beaches ??? Where do you go ??

OH - BTW - U F'd up my compliance papers to Canberra - sent copies instead of originals - LET IT BE KNOWN -they only accept originals - Have to make up the StfUp by lot of Canberra brown nosing. Hopefull I will have BEAST on the road by late AUG.

Cheers All.

i like ndr's home-made catch can haha..

No sorry Ryan,,,A catch tank is just a remote oil breather tank that stops oil mist from re-entering the inlet side of things.......Nothing to to do with a Bov at all..........

Dump Pipe is the first part of the exhaust off the turbo - they make a big difference when you get an after market one.. i have a 3 1/4" dump pipe (HPC coated - this lowers the heat emmitted from the dump pipe and keeps engine bay temps down..)

There are some shops, but i take mine to my mate in Castle Hill - Hills Motorsports, he has done everything to my car so far and knows his ****, a few people from the boards take to him.

Thats a bummer dude - how much longer will this cause it to be?

Christian

Hopefully, I can fix before the car arrives - Will be moving heaven and earth to make it happen -

I work in Castle Hill - So maybe Hills is the go - Have been looking at UAS, but yeah,,,,

Cheers dude,

So dump pipe is like a BIG exhaust manifold ??? Like headers ??? Am i on the right track ??? Lets gas out quicker than standard ???/

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
