R33 Needs Power

[R 2 THE J]

Hey guys I am in need for some more power but before I go ahead with the process I would like some feedback of what you guys think about my intended goal and how I aim to get there.

I have an 1994 R33 Gts25t. The only modification on it is a HKS Pod Filter and GReddy Type-RS B.O.V.

My Goal is to rise power @ the wheels to around 220-250kw. With a min budget of between 10 to 15 thousand (including labour) I would like to know what would be the best way to get there without trial and errors.

- Brands are not so much important but reliability is a must.

- Bolt-ons would be great without any mods to any parts in the actual engine bay.

- Response is my main agenda rather than power.

- MOST IMPORTANTLY...would like to keep my car legal and "SLEEPERISH"

So far I have come up with this list after searching endlessly...

* X-Force "Varex" Turbo-Back exhaust w/ split dump pipe

* KKR-430 Turbo

* GReddy Profec-B Spec II Boost Controller

* GReddy FMIC "Bar & Plate"

* GReddy Ultimate ECU

* 550cc Injectors

* Bosch 040 In Tank Fuel Pump

Questions I'd like answered are...

- Is the turbo suitable for the power wanted, and also responsive enough?

- Is the Boost controller reliable enough?

- Is my choice of ECU compatible and most of all reliable?

- What other mods would I need?

If you could help it would be much appreciated, and would most likely be beneficial for others.

Cheers.

for the turbo if you want responsiveness why not go a HKS 2535, GT-RS, 2835..... and if you could get a Power FC and yes the Greddy boost controller is good have you also got a clutch? e.g heavy duty? if not you should consider one

Cheers

for under 10k youd have an awesome setup. if you want to retain a stock look and go for your desired power goal go for a gcg hiflow, pfc, injectors, fuel pump,fmic, turbo back exhaust,hd clutch. should get full boost by 3k. its been covered many times before.

good luck with it all

Sell your car, put the car money and cash towards a GTR, remove the body kit, front badge, replace boot lid with a GTS25t, or GTS and get rims that hide the studs.

Just an idea.

15k do a full puffy leather look f**k modding the motor

[R338OY]

For $15K you can have more than 250kw. I reckon only spend what you need to get 250kw (that's plenty for the street) and spend the rest getting the power to the road.

HKS GT-RS (or another pick, btw highflow will be lucky to get to 250kw)

Injectors

Fuel Pump (Nismo/Walbro/Bosch etc)

Front Mount

Turbo Back exhaust

Apexi intake

Power FC + Boost controller

Oil Cooler

Z32 AFM

Regapped spark plugs (0.8mm)

Good, you already got the clutch.

Other mods i'd STRONGLY recommend are:

Coilovers

9-10 inch wide rims (on the rear, smaller up front)

Uprated brake pads and brake fluid (brake lines too if you can afford)

Boost and Oil Temp gauges

[R338OY]

KKR turbos are good for the price.

[R 2 THE J]

KKR turbos are good for the price.

Thanks for the tips...

yeh i never considered on braking and handling...

to go fast u need to handle and stop aswell...lol

yeh...do u think the $15,000 will be needed...thats including the labour of course!

15k do a full puffy leather look f**k modding the motor

hks 25/30?

[KezR33]

who would want to hide such a gem?

He said he wanted a sleeper, and hot damn what a sleeper it would be. Just imagine the look on people's faces.

[R 2 THE J]

hks 25/30?

HKS 25/30....do you know much about them?

WHats the response like....also what psi would I need to run it to squeeze out my targeted power figure!

I've noticed people mentioning a lot of HKS turbos but what about the GReddy TD06/25G...is it not as good..i've read a lot of articles and power figures with the response it gives is substantial....but not to familiar with the price though!

Thanks for that...

I'll give it a look up!

Exactly mate...

I had a Honda Civic with a 2.0 V-tec banger in between the front struts...

And boy oh boy did I love racing forced inducted cars...

when the V-tec kicked in it screamed so hard you couldn't even hear the exhaust note from the other car...

From peoples replies I believe 250rwkw would be perfect for the street!

I'll keep you updated on how things go in the next month or two!

Any thoughts...
