More KW wanted HELP

[GTS 33]

Would like some advice from anyone, regarding the best way to get some good results from my R33.

It currently is 228rwhp. The engine is pretty standard at the moment.

I have an Apex GT intercooler

Cold air intake

Pod air filter

3" exhaust with Dual dump pipe

I am considering getting a Apexi PFC with H/C, an HKS exhaust cam pulley and probably a Apexi boost controller. Got pretty reasonable prices so far roughly $2100 for the lot. But after speaking to few people not sure if the Apexi is worth it. Been told the Autronic SM2 is much better but its alot more expensive. Also been told to upgrade my turbo. This option seems like the expensive option but probably get best results.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

how much $$ cash u got to use for the upgrades?

[G0DF4Th3R]

GTS33, have u considered other options such as Wolf? dig up some threads abt Wolf. heard a lot of good things about it

PFC

straight plug in can be had used around $1200 then hit the dyno, seen em push very consistant air fuel ratio readings and great drivability.

[GTS 33]

Probably want to spend about $2500.

Haven't read that much about wolf. Thought Apexi was one of the better ones.

Got quote back today;

APEXi Power FC - 80,850

APEXi Power FC Hand controller - 28,875

APEXi Boost controller - 30,723

Exhaust cam pulley - 12,123

Shipping - 3,300

TOTAL 155,871 yen or

AUD$2059.76

Seems pretty good value but not sure if its gonna give me much more KW?

Thanks

GTS 33 - what power goals are you looking for?

If you looking for around 200rwkw then the stock turbo should be OK if tuned right.

But if your looking at 250rwkw, then go a different turbo. But if your stuck on spending $2500 then keep the stock turbo.

I think your on the right track. Spend the $2100 on the mods you've listed (remembering that you'll need to fork out more cash to get the PFC tuned), and always put a bit of money aside for the unexpected.

Have fun

Yeah thanks for the advice Jay.

If eventually I do fork out for a bigger turbo is the Apexi PFC gonna beable to manage it OK?

The PFC won't have any problems at all.

There are 700hp+ skylines in Japan using the PFC

Like I said, just leave a bit of money aside, once tuned you may find that you need to replace your fuel pump or something.

BTW: where are you getting the parts from? Seem like pretty good prices.

Yup your list sounds spot on, if you got the extra few hundred grab a Fuel Regulator just so that your fuel system is kept alive.

That should bump you up a good 25-30% extra rwkw

Hey Jay

Got a quote from Greenline today (Above Quote). But Nengun has told me they will beat any price I get.

Still gotta get back to Nengun see what they will do it for.

Fuel regulator Any particular type? Do I need to get it from Nengun aswell? Or can I purchase one here in aus?

Thanks

I assume you want to go quicker not win a horsepower shoot out or mouth off about how much power is under your bonnet?

If so the Light flywheel should feature high on the list.

[MrMayhem]

your not going to need a fuel reg with a std terbs

5kg flys not going to hurt any

tyres..... power is useless without traction

[rev210]

MrMayhem is right .

gotta make it all stick.

MrMayhem, flying brick? I own one of those too

[MrZac]

If you do end up getting a fuel reg, the Malpassi brand is very commonly used and are around $300 new I think. A mate of mine picked one up 2nd hand for $150. If you are looking at plug and play ECUs, have a look at the Microtech model for R33s as well as these are $1300 new and do not require the Airlow meter. As usual, allow for tuning.

[benm]

their is currently a 2nd hand malpassi for sale in the classifiends section for ~$190

go off what boostd has done. he got 216rwkw out of the stock turbs, and as soon as he upgrades that or if he does, he is guarnatied to reap the rewards of smart modding.

he has a lot of good gear from what i read on his thread.

stock turbs he ran 12.9.

rev210 has another example too, if you read his posts.

dont go spend big on stuff if you are not going to complement that mod with another.

e.g, no good getting a massive set of injectors, if you still running the stock fuel pump. 1 mod is always linked to another in most case, which makes it hard money wise to sort and plan it out.

Thanks to all you guys for the info.
