Hey all, just need some advice on wat to do to my car next... been offered a couple of items at really good prices and not sure which one to go with...

been offered a new t04E for $400 and an e-manage ultimate for somewhere around $600.

im on an apprentice wage so cant afford both.

Tis a ser1 r33, car allready has boost controller, 100mm thick front mount, high flow cat and 3.5 back. hks intake and dynos at 187rwkw on 12psi. (ratios are fine).

will be getting front pipe in next couple of weeks and dont know which of the other 2 options to go with next! or mabie should i be looking at somthing else mod wise next?

cheers cheers!

computer is your next point of call. get the emanage or save a little longer and get a power fc or microtech lts12. without a computer to back up your other mods it would be pointless getting a new turbo. also you would need a manifld for the turbo coz of the different flange to the stock 1. means more $$$

IMHO save a little more, get a microtech (epa approved as it is tuner lockable) and set your car up properly first time. once you got your comp, you can stretch the stock injectors to 85% duty cycle, and stock turbo to 10psi everyday driving and you'll c a big difference. or better yet, for like 900 do a trade with slide for your stock turbo and get one of his hi flow turbos after you get the comp.

fmic, 13psi on slide hi flow, hks intake, 3" turbo back zorst, microtech lts12, 85% duty cycle on stock injectors and you should see around 210-220rwKw.

next step, bigger injectors, cams = 230-240rwKw.

its up to you.

yeah thinkin ill go with sumthin along those lines. got free use of a dyno and tuning software so should be pretty affordable. was just thinkinh bout this turbo cause its so cheap! been looking into the emanages a bit and they seem like a pretty good thing for the money they are worth...

yeh turbo is good and cheap, but does it have a t3 flange on it? if it doesnt means you need to make a mod plate or get a new manifold, either way spells money.

and in regards to a tuner, see ray at RE Customs. he doing my safc2 an d tune for 200.im in the same boat as you. im saving for the microtech and turbo but when i got given the safc2 for nothing couldnt resist.

i also am an apprentice, so know what it feels like. get the emanage then and take it from there.

    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
    • Evening all. Got this odd issue with my R34 GTT. If I let the car idle for around 15 seconds or more (even when cold) and I jab the throttle a bit, a decently sized plume of blue/grey smoke comes out the exhaust. Doesn't smoke when idling alone, just when giving it some gas after idling. No smoke on cold start or from what I know, normal driving. Not 100% sure about smoke on decel but I don't think there's any. Any pointers on what I should start doing to troubleshoot it? Or if anyone has experienced the same I'd love to get some insight. Cheers.
