hey guys,

mate wants to make is S1 r33 go quicker. Just wondering wat u guys think he should do to get best results. wanting to spend around 3k, already has EBC and cat back zorst. also is it worth getting second hand parts for cheaper or just buy new.

thanks Jack

Complete the Exhaust ( Dump pipe + front pipe)

FMIC KIT

Cold Air Intake System (Airfilter + box etc)

Up the boost (12psi MAX)

Piggy Back ECU (safc) Or else full ecu + tune

should net you somewhere in the 250rwhp + region

edit: nothing wrong with buying second hand aslong as you check it out and condition is ok. NOTE: buy brand new air filter (unless it can be clean)

you will go faster if u use the search button. read the forced induction turbo upgrade dyno figures to see what mods most people do for what power.

But to make a car faster good tyres, LSD is a must. brakes should also be good to stop faster if u get to faster speed easier.

Sorry for interupting your thread, but I´m also making plans how to make my R33 GTS-T go faster at the moment, and came to the conclusion that the original turbo is crap. Is there any companies near the Perth area that rebuilds turbos and could maybe fit some other nice internals?

when i first bought my car it was pretty standard, am now running FMIC, full 3" exhaust with nismo dump and front pipe, SAFC and turbo smart boost controller, and am now running a very nicely tuned 251rwhp. 11psi.

have heard that the standard turbos are good for around 13-14psi, anything above that and you risk damage to the turbo, ie: disintergrating the turbo exhaust turbine in my case. My standard clutch also had to go, wasn't worn just physically couldnt clamp hard enough.

also just a note, my housemate also owns a r33 with a similar setup, only he managed to score a Mine's ECU (i'm o so jealous) and at 13.5 psi, it's good for 301rwhp.

im in the same boat wanting to get abit more from my R33, im new to this but i can pick up on most of the lingo but what exactly is "safc2 / power fc" mean? im guessing its got something to do with fuel management?

also just quickly, what turbo do series I, R33 GTS-t's come with from factory?

mine has been high flowed and will be for sale shortly when i fit a GT35 to replace it if anyone is keen, i dont know what its worth but the purchaser can come for a drive to make sure its ok before i remove it.

powerfc is a full replacement ecu

safc is a fuel controller.

you can even get a boost controller addon for a powerfc, they are great ecus but very very hard to find an r33 one because once people get them unless they write it off they wont sell it they are too good.

theres a great thread in the tech section on powerfcs if you want to do some research, they are a great unit, but around 1200+ for the unit with handset afaik

2nd hand. cheap and good for his budget

Yup, I just bought a second hand SAFC2 last night for $250. :nyaanyaa:

I Just gotta save for fuel pump, boost gauge, fit the the MBC, then get it tuned. Expecting that to be done around Late July/early August. I'll be happy with around 260atw. Atm it does 200atw on 7psi.

i got a PFC and 600 cc injectors sitting right next to me. hopefully get it tuned by Aaron at Intune Performance when he gets back from Dubai. he's gone over to tune some cars and SEMA is on over there. That should push me up to 340 to 350 rwhp then that's it, no more power mods. need to get the rust cut out and brakes need going over and finish of the body kit. then no more (maybe).

      Rb25det s1 igniter pin out

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's definitely not firing order. But I think it should also be made clear that the output that gets fired is the one that corresponds to the input that was switched at the ECU. So you could scramble them up totally so that the numbers meant nothing, and so long as you had the inputs and outputs matched up, you'd be fine. The reason I make that point is that blanket statements about what it is supposed to be don't always hold out in a world where there's been 30 years for the wiring to have been stuffed with.

      Rb25det s1 igniter pin out

      By EndZee · Posted

      Hello, im asking about this guy - coil igniter on rb25det series 1 r33 s1 engine. I need to know if pins on coil side indicate coils itself from 1-6 or it’s firing order so pin nr1 goes to 1st fired spark plug:(1pin-1firing spark, 2pin-5order firing spark, 3-3, 4-6, 5-2, 6-4…)   photo: https://files.fm/f/k9pdug38uq

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Remove it. Certainly from the hub face. I'm not in love with leaving it on the wheel assembly surface either - but if it is common to do so, then....maybe fair enough. It's not difficult. Just time consuming. For the hub face you just need a large enough block and suitable grades of abrasive paper to get it off flat. The same would be true of the assembly face. Just more time consuming, probably needing a lot more care. It's defo going to be easier just to assemble the wheels as is, seal them up, and check them periodically to see if there's any movement or loosening of the fasteners, than it will be to remove it though.

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By dyl33 · Posted

      Hello, I got my wheels powder coated and they've powder coated bloody everything the mating surface and hub (even told them not to lol) anyway should I leave it or remove it. (Would be very hard) I've searched a lot and lots of powder coaters don't mask the mating surface but do mask the hub surface. How bad it powder coat on the mating surface or hub? My question is what should I do?

      R34 Gt Auto Tuning

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, R34 with RB25DE likely has a 4AX01 box in it, which is a medium duty auto ~ with the RB25DET mill, it would've been fitted with 4AX00 (4AX13) heavy duty build (same case, different internals). An RB25DET will lunch on a medium duty 4R01 auto in pretty short order ...to give you some visual idea of differences between the 'medium' and 'heavy duty' boxes, you only have to look at the 2/4 band for comparison...it's chalk and cheese...(plus bigger high clutch, extra pinion in the planetary sets, higher oil pump output, different bearings, higher TC stall speed )... You can control them with just about any aftermarket TCU for electric-over 4-speed with TC lockup clutch (ie; the GM 4L60E and others)...I have a custom standalone TCU that includes MAP sensor (for turbo applications) along with TPS, RPM, and line pressure monitoring...in other words, I don't use any ECU signals...no real need to.
