hi i have a R33 s2 1998 model i think it has a RB26 in it like the R34's because it was a anaversary edition and the last r33'S made and It's not a GTR and i am wondering is it worth upgrading it because i hate all wheel drive cars, i want to put a HKS T51R turbo in it but i dont know if i would have to get new pistons with stronger piston rings any other sugestions?

Too long and did not read?

R33 1998 GTS-T + HKS T51R = would i need new pistons and rings because it already has a stock turbo?

dont ya love school holidays ;)

no.

to original poster, no, the standard pistons and rings on your factory rb26 fitted gtst is good for 1200hp. why the f**k would you put a single t51 on there though? put twin t51spl's on it. f**k it, put 6 of them on the flamin mongrel. then it'll go fast enough to beat your dads veyron. his white one. not his red one, they go faster. just.

Just curious, does your motor look like this..........

or like this..........

If it's the first one, the whole "2500" label vs. the "RB26" on the front of the timing cover may clue you in. Confusing, I know, mixing all those numbers with letters and what not, but they can actaully be deciphered believe it or not. O yeah, then there is that little blue plate on you fire wall that actually tells you what motor you have in case you didn't notice already while looking past your engine to look at the plate ;)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.

      As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
