My R33 Gtr

[ahh 33 s2]

I take it Clinton is Kermit, looks good with the cover mounted like that, I tried mine like that but ended up going with it down cos of fouling issues,

Haha no, they are two very different people.

[ahh 33 s2]

Oh i see, my bad.

[snozzle]

Well, got quite abit of crap done today..

I did the final install of the manifold and wastegate, i also had to cable tie the aircon line toward the strut tower as it was too close to the manifold and also wrap it with some orange sleeving

heres some pics of how it sits at the moment, fitment of the turbo and all the lines are done:

it took me a couple of hours to adjust all the lines and hoses so that nothing at all is touching the manifold, the closest thing to it is around 5mm away and is wrapped in sleeving

Not long to go till i can take it for a quick spin.. still have to properly relocate the power steering reservoir, block off the bovs and bolt on the intercooler piping.

Oh hi : ) my bad on that one, ur car is very nice

Man, this thing is awesome!

I see you have moved on from the fear of further police 'inspections'... Touch wood it doesnt happen again!

Did you lose any power going to the smaller diameter exhaust? Or need to retune it?

Anyway looking forward to seeing the results of the new install!!!

very nice mate, may i add that u can also run your main electricals up between the strut tower and quarter panel. unplug them from the little clip and cable tie them up top. no heat up there.

Ive actually sold the 3" 5zigen system that i bought new, i now have a 3.5" system on there now but the power difference between the two was very minimal!

Turbo setup is finally finished! The grin on my face after i took it for a spin around the block was priceless..... i am well happy with how it drives and not to mention how it sounds..

And ill just leave this here:

Next up is poncam install and its ready for a tune !

Pulled the engine covers off this morning, gave them a sand back with wet an dry and got them sprayed this arvo

Very happy with the depth of the colour too, im wondering how this colour would look on the rest of the car!

Bloody beautiful.

Poncams are in! Also replaced the timing belt, tensioner and idler pulleys and cam seals while I was there just for a bit of assurance.

[RBish]

absolutely love it. have to take me for a spin love the screamer pipe too does it vent the external wastegate gasses?

[snozzle]

yep

Its the oil filter relocation. The white part is the oil filter.

Me too! its actually quite responsive already, without a tune its making around 1bar on 4000rpm ! Thats as far as i want to rev the engine even though the knock hasnt gone over 20 so far.

Took a video of the idle today with my phone, for some reason the mic amplifies the ticking from the injectors alot, its not that ticky in person.

Well car got tuned this morning.. it initially made 460hp on 18psi with the ebc set to 0%, that is the lowest boost my wastegate can run and then it made 485hp on 20psi.

It makes 1bar of boost at 4100rpm.. Full boost is at 4400rpm, pulls very hard even though its very wet today..

Drives smoother than ever! Feels like a new car Big thanks to the guys at Allstar !

[UWISSH!]

how does it feel response wise compared to the previous twins?

any chance you could post up before and after dyno results

i duno if i missed it but what head work do u have done if any apart from the cams
