hey guys

ive got a 94 gtst r33 manuel, current mods are 3 inch turbo back exhuast, fmic, greddy e manage, pod filter, turbo smart dual stage boost controller, car is roughly 215-220 kilwatt at 14 psi (standard turbo).

i would like to get another 10-15 kilawatts if possible by maintaining the same amount of boost (14)psi

i have mentioned to my mechanic about gettin either injectors, fuel pump, or getting the additional injector and ignition harness for the e manage, but hes advised that itll be a waste of money, and that my next mod would have to be a turbo upgrade, but i dont really want to spend more than $800 on parts right now,

also do splitfire coil packs give more power?

any comments would be greatly appreciated

Coilpacks definitely give noticeable power if your originals are f**ked. Otherwise you wont feel anything, they make it smoother n more responsive just like new plugs.

<br />New turbo or E85 + re-tune.<br />

Only problem with the 2nd half of this idea is that there probably isn't enough capacity left in the std injectors to make the power on E85.

As to the original question.....there's not a lot left in your turbo. You're already running it past the point (boost wise) where you can expect it to crap itself at some (unpredictable) time.

The only way you will make more power now is with bigger injectors, pump and retune on e85 if you wont upgrade the turbo.

If your car is making that power, regardless if people say its a happy dyno, you will be maxing out the stock fuelpump and injectors, so adding an extra one wont help if the pump is alreay maxxed out.

Seeing as you dont want to spend any money im not sure how your going to achieve this.

Coilpacks will be $600+ for Splitfires, injectors dont come cheap, then the fuel pump.. then a retune.

I say save your coins and upgrade it when you can afford it.

I would also find a new mechanic mate cos sounds like he dont know WTF he is talking about because with out bigger injectors and fuel pump a bigger turbo is useless to you! if you wanna do it cheap buy a 2nd hand GTR fuel pump and some SR20 injectors highflow ya turbs get it retuned if ya shop around and get lucky you MIGHT get some change from $2500 and you will be good for 250kw :thumbsup:

Stock injectors will do ~230kw max safely

But yeah your turbo is out of flow so the only way to make more power is either bigger turbo, or run E85 so you can wind more ignition timing in, stock injectors prob won't flow enough though.

Next step is $4k really as you need airflow meter, injectors, turbo, fuel pump, most likely coilpacks, then clutch, then tyres, then a full retune regardless of if you want 230kw or 300kw

If you already have enough fuel, eg injectors are not maxed out and nor is fuel pump, then putting bigger injectors in will just require a retune for zero gain, bigger fuel pump is probably not a bad idea but it won't give any extra performance, will just give you some extra safety and if you decide to use E85 down the track it will give you the required flow.

If you are maxing your injectors out the car will lean out and probably make slightly more power but pop the engine. Only replace them if you require extra fuel flow, eg a bigger turbo, as it will require a complete retune which is $$$

honestly your car is not making 220rwkw - more like 190-200 MAX.

this is what literally hundereds of users on here have found, the only way to get that far on a stock turbo and 98octane is a happy dyno.

for around $800 you could find a second hand highflowed turbo. throw this in and you can get to roughly ~230rwkw (that's a real 230rwkw though) so roughly a 15% gain.

throw injectors, afm and fuel pump at it and you can look at more around the 250rwkw figure.

this is not the best method, however it is the cheapest :)

also as rolls said you will need a clutch... probably want to shim your diff too

14PSI will not last very long on a stock turbo either. Do a search "r33 turbo max boost".

Stock Inj + bump the fuel pressure will get you a tad more power (whatever the number on the dyno reads)

After that you can throw what ever turbo you like at is, no more power. Your tuner is telling you turbo and rightly so. The stock turbo will not

last long at 14PSI. Do you want to be cleaning comp housing shards (yes yes the rear blows out, but it unbalances the shaft and the comp wheels generally grinds a nice path up against the comp housing) out of your intercooler?!?!

So basically you need to do all four, turbo, inj, pump and afm.

Also whats up the with e-manage? Just asking seeing 90% of the population use PFC, the other haltech, link, vipec etc.

Buy this bad boy and max re-tune it on the stock pump and injectors. It may cost a lil more than $800 but ur more than likely up for a new turbo sooner than later running 14psi on ur stock one

Its on sale at the moment.

my car dynoed at 220 rear wheel kilawatts when it was auto @ 14psi, by initial d racing,

auto should read lower anyway... so that result is even more inflated... there is NO WAY your car makes a genuine 220rwkw on the stock turbo. the lil turbo simply cant flow enough to make those numbers and there have been HUNDREDS of cars on here that prove that.

i wasn't trying to insult you, i was being positive, saying that if you get a genuine 230rwkw it will be 30 - 40 rwkw faster than what you have now, not just 10.

fwiw my car made 185rwkw with the stock turbo on 14psi running the same (ish) mods and a pfc. most people get around the 190rwkw mark.

also stick to around 12 psi. the stock turbo is out of puff then anyway. by going to ~14 or above you really are only squeezing like 5kw out of the engine for a LOT of stress on the ceramic exhaust wheel.

:)

Also whats up the with e-manage? Just asking seeing 90% of the population use PFC, the other haltech, link, vipec etc.

emanage is fine for up to around 250rwkw. according to trent who used to specialise in them there is great gain in upgrading past one unless you are planning on 250+

    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work. 
    • Potentially some interesting data for some of you here; Hank Iroz from Iroz Motorsport testing a new Xona Rotor 5964S on a Audi RS3 2.5L DAZA motor. https://facebook.com/share/p/14EU18MyDqZ/ Cliff Notes: Turbo has the new Xona XRE compressor aero with an X4C compressor cover, reportedly 0.64 rear housing. 900whp (670kw) @ 37psi, 170k shaft speed, motor is making 2bar (29psi) boost by roughly 3800rpm, 500lbft (670nm) torque by 3500rpm. They overlaid a stock RS3 on USA 91 fuel (red), and a "Stage 2" RS3 on E85 (yellow), and this 5964S (blue) - the 5964S isn't losing any ground to either. Apparently out-flowing their prior tests with a Xona 8264S (green), and this 5964S (white) also has a smaller A/R than that did.
