Just wondering, hopefully in the not to distant future i wanna mayb get a slide high flow and some injectors and it should push the car to 250 to 275kw.

Anyway my question is who has got that amount of kws already in a r33 series 2 skyline? because at the moment i can fill my r33 to the brim and i can get about 350 to 400kms to the tank in normal city driving. At the moment my car puts out around 200kws, so yer if i get 250kws + what can i expect a tank of petrol to last for?

Cheers

Adam

Do you think you will pick up an extra 50-75kw at the wheels from a zorst system and some injectors?, what other mods do you have?...

no no sorry a slide high flow turbo and injectors.

I have a FMIC, power fc, 3in stainless steel exhaust, boost controller, pod, bosch fuel pump umm yer tuned to 205kws

I am lucky to get much over 200kms per tank city driving for a series 1, you might get 250 - 300kms per tank...ultimately depends on how you drive it

damn!! only 200!! im deciding weather to do it or not because of the price of bloody petrol!

hmm it really depends hw it was tuned, wot size turbo, boost etc.. eg.. say u had a T04e turbo or a 2530 then it would make peak power in the mid range eg 4-5500 rpm etc.. if u used a bigger turbo it obviously make the peak power later on in the rev range, say 6500+..

the above is a very broad generalisation so dont quote me. if u had a smaller turbo, you wouldnt need to rev it so much to make the peak power therefore MIGHT get "better" economy out of smaller turbo since it runs out of puff after say 5500rpm or so.. therefore you wouldnt necessarily rev it past that range everytime.. where as if you had a large turbo which made peak power later on the range, you would NEED to rev it that extra rpm to get that power, thus putting more stress and using more fuel. get my drift?

haha yer got ya lol! thats why i think ill only go for a slide high flow turbo...

The tune does have a lot to do with it...but so does your right foot. Even if you go for the slide high flow you will find yourself pushing into the power curve more often to enjoy the extra power and use more fuel. It is inevitable :woot:

haha true true! lol

but im reali just trying to get an idea of the fuel consumption just to see wheather for what i want the car for if its worth doing or not

R33 S1

I am getting around 350km @ 265 rwkw running really rich.. ( dodgy plenum leaning out a cylinder) will be over 400km per tank once new plenum and tune finished next week.

And thats being in boost quite a bit........ I could drive completely out of boost and get more!

I used to get 500km when I had 178rwkw.

it all depends on the tune, i have about 250rwkw and can get around 350km's to a tank with normal driving, unhappy with that so i'm going for a re-tune next week

ok stupid question, remember i dont kno much about turbo cars, when i get a tune done for it can i basically say to them look i want a mix of good kws and good fuel milage? or what?

how can you get that much fuel economy!!! how!? as i said im about 200kws and get 400 at the very very most

You dont hit boost :woot:

If you dont hit boost, economy is essentially the same regardless of turbo size.

Soon as you do get on boost though, it all changes as more power requires more fuel etc etc

When you know how to tune your own car and you tune it "right" you get good economy.

You also do some hwy driving as well right? that would help a lil!

I have about 283rwkws and i get about 300-330 out of a full tank.. thats with alot of city driving and a fair bit of boosting :woot:

    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
    • Thanks   does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?
    • 'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
    • So unsafe would you say now?   little bit of has come off, guess road salt is a nightmare for Japanese car. Mx5 here have a well known issue or rotting 
    • Dissimilar metal corrosion. Aluminium is less noble than steel/iron, and will corrode preferentially when in contact with it and a conductive solution (ie, wet road salt). Tends to suggest that those brackets should be made in steel for a shitty climate like the UK.
