Hey Guys,

I have an R33 that is pretty stock, catback exhause (i think its about 3.5'' with 4.5'' tip) and a HKS air filter is all that is done to it. I wanted to get a bit more power out of it and was wonder what are the 1st steps usually to an R33 to get the ball rolling?

I was thinking Boost Controller & Intercooler would be my 1st steps - but if you have another opinion where i can better spend my money to get better results i would love to hear them.

Cheers!

:happy:

Your first steps should be front/dump pipe ($250-300), hi-flow cat ($150-200).

Then get a boost controller (so you don't overboost), FMIC and then look at a computer.

all depends on how much u want to spend?

cheap way= full exhaust, apexi afc neo, ebc,cooler and 13 psi should get u some healthy figures.

if u want to spend more get a bigger turbo, injectors, fuel pump, aftermarket ecu run 16+ psi

I would definately look at getting a split dump / front pipe (split single piece) made up and a hiflow cat. it'll free up alot of option for future modding.

Then look at intercooler and maybe a power fc. Depending on how far you want to push it, but I would leave it at that. After this point factory parts start to fall short and break and lots of things need to be upgraded to make more power.

You'll be looking at some serious cash, new injectors, fuel rails, fuel pump, new AFMS, forged internals... blah blah blah..

Just depends on how deep your pocket are :happy:

    • If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.
    • You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.
    • Hi Brent, I am wondering if you ever worked this out? I have upgraded this unit to a newer one and everything works bar the reverse camera, so i really want to know what plugs are what so I can patch the camera through. many thanks in advance Mike
    • Once you have to get up in the morning and be useful, you suddenly value sleep it turns out :p
    • Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
