My R33 Turbo In On My Rb20 Don't Know Where Should Go Next

Hello

I have a R32 GTS-T. I put a R33 turbo on it. It has a HKS adjustable acuator. I have it set at .5 bar. Going to set it at .8 or .9. I have a catback exhaust, intake.

What else should I do next? I have a R34 SMIC that I haven't put on yet.

I want to get the most out of this turbo that I can. Should I get a GTR fuel pump or a Nismo 4L pump? Should I put in GTR injectors or Nismo ones or keep stock? Do I need a aftermarket computer now? Should I go with the down pipe/ front pipe? Do I have to tune if so?

Later, in the winter time, I will buy a friends TD06 but cant afford it right now. Later going to get Emanage, and FMIC.

I have read and read and I really don't know where I should go from here. There is a big improvement in response and speed just from having the R33 turbo on there.

Help!

I want to do next important upgrading!!! I live in Japan and the area where I live gets only about 30-32 degrees celcius in the summer on average.

well i have a stock rb20 with rb25 turbo, 3" turbo back exhaust (no cat), bosch 910 pump with surge tank, 600x300 fmic, safc II, manual boost controller (turbo tech) & thats it.

gives a responsive 250hp atw, but larger turbo, injectors afm & nistune flash will be going on pretty soon.

Cool

Why the surge tank? Does the fmic give much lag? The reason I am going with the R34 smic is because I read on this forum that it is about 50% bigger than stock. So its shorter travel for the air to the turbo so hopefully not a lot of lag.

What kind of larger turbo are you putting on? What is a nistune flash? Why a safc II instead of a computer?

Thanks

I would put the exhaust and r34 smic before boosting. Its best to no not go past 14psi on stock r33 turbo otherwise it starts to get risky. But when u do boost, you should get a tune.

I will finish the exhaust(downpipe, front pipe, better cat) after I get a computer. I will put the smic on within the next two weeks. Busy with work. I will not be able to buy a computer and tune for about 1 to 2 months due to having to use money for something else. Is this fine? I will make sure not to set it about 14 psi.

yeah the surge tank is a bit of overkill but it & the pump were installed by the previous owner when the car had a different motor.

this setup is very responsive with sfa lag imo & i wouldnt run anything else but a decent fmic.

it has custom cooler pipes & the cold side pipe (after the cooler) is fairly short compared to some setups ive seen.

anyway i dont mind a bit of lag especially if you can run say 20psi & have a real good hit of power.

the safc was put on by a previous owner cause when he bought the car it had been bought back to pretty much stock. it was running autronics & hks turbo etc before he bought it.

the car is making reasonable power with its basic mods & a lot of that is probably due to the safc.

im going for a nistune flash instead of a new complete ecu cause they are only about 800 bux tuned & do the job i believe.

the turbo thats going on is a s/hand (6 months old) Apexi AX53B70 P-25, its a bit smaller than i probably would have liked but for $1000 for the complete apexi kit (turbo, dump, braided lines, etc) it was pretty hard to pass up.

cheers

Hi mate I have headed down the same path as you when you do decide to

go down the path with a computer upgrade to handle all these mods.

I would higly recommend that you go n see Dr Drift for a reflash chip for

the std computer as this is what I have done and the results have been

unreal totally different car to drive shit loads more mid range and can

drive the car on the throttle more around the race track.This has been

the best mod I have done on the car so far,and a lot cheaper than a pfc.

Good luck with it

he lives in japan so are these reflash options really viable?

can he send them his ecu & they modify it & flash a generic tune to suit his mods?

i would have thought a live/real time tune was the only type worth having

Are you telling me that there is no-one in Japan that can do a CHIP for a car/motor/ecu that's been around IN JAPAN for 19 years?

Not saying DR-Drift is good, but he lives in Japan FFS.. we get cars come over here with MINES chips etc.

why would he not do this instead of getting DR-DRIFT or toshi or cef11e to tune for a fuel we don't even have here??

There are places here, but I dont know where a lot are. Plus they charge crazy money here for a lot of this stuff. I try to put on as much stuff as possible getting help from friends. But none of my friends know how to tune.

How can I contact DR. Drift?

Fair enough I didn't read that he lives in Japan FFS!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
