More Power

[TUFF_350]

Hey guys, currently only have a stockie '96 R33 S2 M-Spec but having gone from a 98 Honda Accord immediately felt the power difference in every aspect. Now after only a month im used to it and it just feels like any old car...time for upgrades i think first was thinking of turbo back exhaust, if done right apparently you can pick up anywhere in between 20-30rkws! This would make a significant improvement and secondly FMIC.

What are your opinions? Thanks in advance!

you have the right mod first, plenty of power is gained from a good exhaust. i went from 144 to 169rwkw with a split dump pipe, 3" system and 5" cat. thats your best option to start with. them fmic and boost, then next level ecu, injectors, pump, turbo, clutch etc etc...

i started with 147 rwKw, felt fast, then nex set of mods, 187 rwKw, it was wow for a while, now 217 rwKw and Dam it feels fast, but use to it in a month or so, need more. LOL.

Lol wow that was fast, thanks guys usually nobody can be bothered replying!

You do get used to the power, mine only feels faster after I've been driving the 4x4 for a week then take the skyline for a spin on the weekend.

You can NEVER have too much power.

yeh when i had 254 before i blew it up it felt slow....but now 12months later 200kw @6psi lol feels fast but getting tuned for 18 next week....make sure you do your mods in stages so that you get the feel for the car at each power level, i know dudes that went bang heres 15k on mods 12 months later there bored again. rather than do it slow and have more fun

mines only got 230 @ the wheels but cause i only drive it a couple of times a month it always feels fast!

Watch out for the power bug LOL

I went from 199rwk's to 260 and then 292rw's. Now that even feels slow, until you line up a crapy comodore. LOL

As a few of the guy's said before though, the more often you drive it , the less spectacular it feels.

I ownly drive my GTR 1-2 times a week now and get more pleasure from driving it . Damm beats the 1.6 laser wagon. LOL

8 months of withdrawal though waiting for the new clutch. Now its back on the road , Im in heaven.

Turbo back zorst!

take the car to a circuit, and u will realise its not slow or the hills

Im now sick of 382rwkw that ive only had for 1 week, but have been driving it a fair bit.

As mentioned the less you drive your car the better it feels.

Sick of 382rwkw.

Man I never thought I'd hear that. I'm almost content with my 150rwkw.

not bragging ae we?

i agree that above 300 is great but i wouldnt say im sick of it! thats a big call...

where can you use it?

if its a street car then 300 - 350 is ample and can / will get you into alot of trouble with the po po!!

just my thoughts...

[tjandriesen]

Keep in mind the other alternative to make it fun is to make it perform better overall e.g not just more speed but better handling and stopping as well. Great to go fast in a straight line but feeling what it can do through the twisties is a great rush as well.

used to have a dual stage EBC

running low boost most of the time (155rwkw)

and high boost(180rwkw) on weekend or whenever i need it

so i always feel the car goes pretty good

Where i live there is plenty of space to use it.

Ok, maybe not sick of it, ive driven my car so much this week im "used" to the power it has and want MORE. Think im greedy.... But dont we all want more all the time.
