Mod Recommendations

[RobertoB]

Hey guys,

I'm interested in getting a FM on my series 2 R33 GTST and wondering a good place in Sydney to get it done, also how much am I looking at? Doesn't need to be brand name or fancy, just work well.

Same questions on:

EBC

Power FC

My car is stock except for adjustable BOV, Apexi CAI and full 3" exhaust so hoping with EBC, ECU and FMIC I'll get good power gains, 180rwkw maybe?

When I had those same mods as you listed (except replace EBC with a manual boost tee on 12psi), I made 192rwkw

As for a front mount, never had any problems with a china model from ebay but I'd recommend a turn flow cooler so you don't have to cut a hole for the cold pipe. Should save some hassle if you get pinged and need a RWC.

PowerFC seem to go for anywhere from $1000-$1500, add $700 on that for a tune.

Get just jap return flow, cheap and pretty good even with bigger power levels and install is pretty straight forward too im sure you could do it yourself and save some labour costs if your willing.

Yeah I wouldn't know where to start though... Does TuneHouse do installs?

Hey man,

you will get some good gains with this mod list but when it comes to coolers, spend a bit more as the cheap ones, while are capable will add alot of weight to the front end and you will feel it when you hit a pothole or speedbump: ARC is a good brand and dont go too big; just what you need.

Pick a good tuner around your area, call them and tell them about your car and schedule some time where you can go down and take 20mins of there time to have a chat.

Search this site too, theres plenty on basic mods with results.

all the best

Wanna get an EBC next week, which do you guys recommend?

[GTR_JOEY]

how much u wanna spend mate?

Greddy PROFEC B spec 2 or Apexi AVCR are a couple of common ones that will do a good job

Just jap return flow cooler will work fine.

ARC are some of the best but does cost $

[SargeRX8]

If you get a turn flow cooler instal it your self, if you get a standard then pay someone as you need to cut and measure.

[RobertoB]

Hmm budget depends on quality I guess, doesn't need to be fancy just do the job and not break after a week, hi lo setting would be good too.

[GTR_JOEY]

youll find that the big name jap EBC are all good quatity and generally have 2 or more boost settings

[Rolls]

You dont need an EBC with a stock turbo, with a free flowing exhaust and rb20 spring youll run over 10psi anyway.

I've got a hi low boost controller you can have for 50. Has a plate you fit into the cigarette rubbish pocket thing in the r33. Its a hybrid branded unit with two dials and hi low switch.

Awesome hybrid is good right? Does it come with wiring? Can i have model number? How long do you think it would take someone to install so I can get quoted for this?

If you can find one. They are bankrupt!

It has all the wiring and what not. It's kind of DIY but it has 3 wires which connect directly into the engine loom(I can find out which collie wire for you). Send me a pm I'll get you pictures of the actuator, wiring and control face. Be aware this isn't the new tech hybrid stuff which cost a pretty penny, this is kind of old tech stuff it's still dual stage hi low but doesn't have the bells and whistles(gain control, LCD etc) just a simple ebc which does what it does! Hence the awesome price, even a manual boost tee cost more!

This is how I put mine in more or less. http://photos.imageevent.com/kadepunk/hybridinstallationguides/GTS%20kit.pdf

Get a hard pipe kit from ebay and the intercooler of your choice. Get a big one. Be confident and drill yourself a hole with a hole saw. Piece of piss mate.
