Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Whats the go with engineering the emissions in Adelaide rb25/30,custom plenum and power fc. Im about to put 10 Grand in to my r33 motor this year but dont wana go rb25/30 if i cant engeineer anythink.

Iv also been thinking of putting the 10grand into my rb25det(internals only) but still would need to engineer greddy plenum and power fc. Iv also herd that you can have a larger turbo but need to stay in the Emissions range. Iv talk to a few ppl about what im looking at doing but stilll lost so i rang up regency but they said do the work and come down and show us but dont wana wast the money to be told i cant engineer it.

Unfortunately you're pretty much sh1t out of luck.

The way you will want to have it to drive it on the street it WON'T be legal anyway.

Any exhaust you will need to make any kind of power out of the thing won't pass drive by noise regs.

Any aftermarket programmable management is not legal, as it can be adjusted as soon as you leave from the testing.

Spending money on trying to engineer it would better be saved for putting it back to stock if it ever gets defected.

I hate to sound like a wet blanket, but a truly legal modified car is pretty much a pipe dream.

The hole engineering of my car has got me pulling my hair out. The last 2 weeks iv been reading diffrent forums,transport s.a iv talk to the local police and talked to the ppl at regency and none can give me straight answers. Iv just got a hole heap of numbers of engineers in Adelaide that are recognised by transport s.a so im hoping they can give me some straight answers during the week.

With regards to engine changes.

The few vehicle standard blokes I've spoke to have said they can't see a problem with the RB30det as it is essentially just a stroked rb25. Providing no other work is done via camshaft changes etc total power output won't change. Torque will; an increase in torque they don't 'see' as a problem.

Was all very vague but you get that from vehicle standards. :P

Went in a sti wrx stock turbo running 18psi today and shit they fly, but 18psi sounded a bit high for stock turbo tho

Honeypot road didnt seem that long in the sti lol

Mid to low 13sec pass out of a stock car is pretty damn quick. But in saying that the 'old' in comparison r33 gtst with an exhaust, fmic and ecu runs the same times.

Yeah but its something different Dan. :O

Something new/different to play with.

You'll probably get bored eventually and venture back to a gtr though. Couple of nice little mods and 350rwkw.

Then bang there goes third gear. lol

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By R3N3 · Posted

      Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
