What To Do Next?

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:

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      And at over $2 per litre I'm starting to consider setting up a corn mash still and converting over to alcohol and running mine on it !  Up side of that is it all doesn't have to go into the car ! Win win !

      H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.

      This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.

      Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.
