hi, guys iv got a r33 (rb25t) with 221kw at wheels... sounds good but thats MAX! on 10PSI its only got like 97kw at wheels. iv got FMIC, bigger turbo, 550cc injectors, walbro fuel pump, dump pipe into 3inch stainless, HKS pod, microtech LT-8 ecu...

was thinkin of getting splitfire coil packs but told there a waste??? dunno about that

what mods can i do to make more grunt... budget minded at the mo hehe

thanks guys

lol im amusing you ment on 10psi its making 197kw at the wheels. Next mod on your list id be looking at a bigger turbo again. You have all the supporting modifications to support a safe 250rkw. So if your maxing the set up at 221kw im assuming the turbo is the restriction?.

No point in getting splitfires unless your packs are breaking down.

mate youve done all the mods you can do before you change the internals. Im thinking if you want more grunt, considering you have a bigger turbo, crank up the boost. What turbo do you have, so that someone can tell you what level of boost is efficient. Say, if youve got a big turbo such as a gt 3040, you would need to run higher than 10 psi to get good power. but then to get even more power, youd need to change internals to support the stress on your motor :yes:

gee's.....

I agree with 700hp GTR33......

and just to confirm...it is an Rb25 R33 ?

what turbo again?

and those "bolt on" mods?

you get those twopower levels...

97 and 221

Your Turbo and tune seem to me as being at fault

Who tuned it...and what Turbo is it?

i havent dynoed it myself the previous owner dynoed it at JEM, dunno what turbo it is... i had someone who knows there turbos and couldnt tell me... it aint stamped on turbo... its not much bigger than stock

yes, Nice avatar :yes:

mate, something is wrong with your car or someone is telling you fibs - take it somewhere else and get a dyno run....

Sure, dyno's are used as a tuning tool, but your two power levels and boost - its just not making any sence.

Even RB30 non turbos make that power - 97rwkw !!!!! (Well, I know of one that made 101rwkw)

that sounds like what i will have to do... i feel like iv been shafted now... :yes:

if it is bigger, how come it only seems to flow 97kw of air at 10 psi, whereas a stock one can give 180+ quite easily. either your turbo is not suited to the low boost, or you need to get the microtech tuned properly. sounds like you would be better off with a stock ecu atm if the turbo IS bigger

If you want more grunt as in the sound - then get a proper CAI with a bigger POD - pipe it straight to the front bumber and you will get better sound.

Regards,

its a HKS 3 inch neck (luv the mad induction noise :yes: ) with custom heat sheild... but getting straight to bumper will be good... will it make alot of difference in power?... any gain is good for me.

dunno... could it be the turbo is shot or something??? maybe i need a full retune or something...

you most likely dont need a rebuild. get your car on a dyno at a dyno day or something for $50 instead of guessing from what previous owners have told you, and get a print out of the air/fuel ratios and power curve obviously. compare your curves with some from the rb25 dyno thread and go from there. you may find there isnt much wrong after all, or you may find that the turbo or management is totally wrong and u really are low on power. a retune will sort u out, the microtech is a good thing. changing turbos is a bit harder/

i dont think you have any damage, just a system mismatch

no worries i will definatly have to get it on the dyno by the sounds of things, will an air/fuel ratio gauge help me...

    • My plan is to go the pink option. But still add the 4th fitting near the oil cap and just cap it off for now.  That way I can add 2 extra to the sump and have 4 dedicated breathers/drains if I ever remove the sump for any reason. 
    • Oh, yeah, look - here's the thing. You always replace the tensioner when you're going in there to replace a belt....under normal circumstances. You want to make sure it is good and safe, and that you don't create a reason to take the front of the bloody motor apart again. But in this case, OP is replacing a belt that has aged out on time, not usage. The belt is a million miles away from aging out on usage. The belt gets a time "limit" merely because it is made of rubber and can degrade naturally. The tensioner? Not so much. I reckon it could last forever on the current usage pattern. So I reckon if the thing is going to continue to get used at the same rate, replacing the tensioner is somewhat gratuitous. Would I replace it if I was doing it on my car right now? Hell yes. Because my car does 10-20 thousand kays a year. So it's all going to be the same thrashedness. Would I YOLO it on OP's car. More than likely.
    • I dunno. I think any one of those from each side to sump is probably enough. Remember - this is about creating a path for gas flow up from the sump to the cam covers. That gas flow then has to leave via the lines to the catch can. There's probably little point in providing 100% more capacity from sump up to covers cf. what you have from there to the catch can. Put in the 3 convenient ones? Any which way that you see fit. That'd be my thoughts.
    • Getting holes drilled into to cam covers and AN10 fitting welded on. My sump has 2x AN10 fittings on it already. These are the options I have come up with that can be done without needing to remove the sump to add more fittings. In all options front of passenger side cover connects to VCT head drain bung (i know this isn't the best spot but my feeling is it must do something). Option 1 (pink). The back of each cam covers gets its own line to sump. Option 2 (blue). The back of each cam covers are linked and share a line to sump. The front of drivers side gets its own line. Option 3 (Black). Drivers side are Tee'd together and share a line to the sump. Passenger side rear gets its one line to the sump.
    • I'd be surprised if Nissan doesn't mention it in the manual as it seems unlikely that a tensioner is going to last 200,000km.
