r33 GTSt intercooler upgrade qu..

[Zahos]

Nah, got someone else to do it on a dyno. After watching it once though, I think I could do it myself now on a dyno. Anyway..... I'll tell you something else though..

I went to someone who claimed he could "street tune" the SAFC for $50 (coz a dyno tune was over $100, and i had no job and was a tight arse). I told him I wanted the hesitating at 5500 rpm that was so common to boosted R33's sorted out. This guy did the worst tune, basically did stuff all difference to A/F ratio's, but he wound the timing right back to 10 deg, so I wouldn't feel the hesitation... Needless to say the car ran like SH1T!!! Smooth, but slower than in stock form!

So anyhow, I wound the timing up to 17deg, boosted to 11psi, and took it to get it dyno tuned. Needless to say I was very happy with the results afterwards.

If u aren't experienced or confident enough to tune it yourself (and u r at the risk of wasting ur engine if you lean it out too much), take it to a dyno where u can have a lot more confidence in your tune....

Thought I would show you my FMIC,

I purchased this FMIC second hand for under $1000 and it bolts striaght up to the existing plumbing...

It's not too big but you can tell it does the job. The biggest improvement was the flow (up high like 4500 rpm) compared to the stock I/C. Then you also notice less heat soak on warm days.

Anyways, I am also aiming for as close to 200 rwkw's as I can. The below FMIC will be fine:

Hay mates what about the EVO 4 intercooler? Becasue i also thinking of upgrades the standard intercooler, the garage guy rekon me to put an EVO 4 intercooler for my R33 GTST!
