bigger fuel pump

aftermarket ecu or something like a nistune

bigger injectors

z32 afm (not to worry if your going for a map sensor from something like a vipec)

bigger turbo

3 or 3 1/2 inch exhaust

FMIC

either a metal intake pipe or do the mod to keep the standard one from closing

a boost controller

probably need new coil packs

id be changing the spark plugs too

all new hose clamps - the standard ones will blow off

pod filter

ive probably forgotten a few things but yeah that just the engine, at that power level ud want to look into suspention & brakes too or atleast brakes, at 450hp a rebuild with forgies would be a good idea or just drive it till it blows then rebuild, standard rb25 will do a reliable 400rwhp

hey all :yes:

im just woundering the best way to make about 400~450hp, from a stock r33 :D money is no limit, but i dont want much more power then that

cheers :)

what'd you do win lotto or something? :ph34r: wish i had no limit on money lol.

Walk into a workshop, tell them the exact same thing

Drop a deposit, pick up car and pay balance

lol if only it was that easy!!!

There's no fun in that at all though! Half the fun of building a fun/fast car is failing the first time then fixing something yourself and reaping the benefits! :ph34r:

He doesnt have a budget and this would clearly be the best way

Giving it to a professional to do it right the first time so you dont have to spend $$ and do it again ;)

He will reap the said benefits when his driving the same car that feels totally different :)

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/  
    • That would be my Shoei helmet
    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
