Hey there people.

I just recently bought a 1994 R33 Skyline.

It has a Big HKS exhaust and a Greddy Intercooler and a HKS pod.

I had a bleed valve fitted and it is running at 11psi, punching out

187RWKW.

I was just wondering what is next to do to it. I just wanna do it and

not have to worry about replacing stuff over and over.

I was hoping for about 350-400+ ATW. The car is off the road for some

of the work to begin.

I am not made of money and I saved for years for this so I am

hoping to do the work myself.

Can you please help me out.

Thanks,

Shaun :ninja:

doubling your power atw is going to be a very costly excercise... You'll need to fully rebuild your motor with forged internals, and have an extensive parts list to achive those figures. ecu, injectors, afm, fuel pump, head gasket, plugs, coilpacks, manifold, plenum, fpr, monster turbo, new dump, ext wastegate, boost controller, cams, pistons, rods, just to name a few, the list goes on and on and i'm sure ive missed a lot of things too. Do more searching around the forced induction threads and you should find the answres you need.

R33silverS2 is right. Can't just pull Horse Power out of the air. Something has goto give. = Change more parts = more time = more money.

BTW ya air pod looks alittle dirty in that pic. Give it a clean and let the car breath better. Is your Greddy Intercooler a front mount? Just hard to see from that pic angle.

shaun_perry - what is the budget??? Thats the key point here you haven't mentioned.

And like a few people before you, i dont think you realise how much its going to cost yet :huh:

If its 20k - you might be lucky and get 350rwkw, but i would imagine it'll be closer to 25k.

Its not something you can realistically do yourself as its going to require a full motor build by a professional as when your spending big $$, you want it done right.

R33silverS2.

That pod filter has been replaced with a new filter element.

(00)skyline(00).

I am not sure of a budget but approx the 10-15K mark.

My father and I will be able to do the hard work like fitting parts and

possibly rebuilding the engine ourselves as he is a Mechanic.

There are not many "experts" in skylines and other jap imports here so

we will do the hard yards and we'll have it tuned elsewhere.

I was just wondering what the next mod is. the car will be off the

road till all the work is done.

Thanks guys.

Keep the tips coming. :laugh:

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
    • How does this compare to the internally gated g25-550 in terms of power production at same psi and spool
    • Did you find that your voltage of the battery wasn't where it's normally supposed to be? for example on my r34, it's at 14.5v when running after a few seconds, but I noticed when I had a rough start and it initially wasn't idling correctly, the voltage on my triple gauge cluster was showing lower than usual. Seems like the alternator is starting to crap itself
    • And, given that you're in NC, go buy an LS7 or something equally sweet and piss that crappy old RB off. Or call up Wesley Kagan and get his help putting a Merc V12 into it.
    • Do a compression test, and a bore scope on the cylinder that lost parts of the plug. Chances are, that cylinder isn't so happy anymore...
