hello

I have recently brought a 1994 r33 with a RB20e in it, i was just wanting help on what modification i could do to it to get maximum legal horse power. I am on my P plate so unable to turbo it. I have already brought a pod filter for it and am currently building a cold air box for it.

Just wanting to know the best mods and are there any good performance chips out there?

would appreciate your help, i know its a shit engine so please no criticism.

Thanks in advance

max power you would most possibly get without opening up your engine would be the 150hp mark.

but it will be an expensive trip.

N/A tuning is not for the shallow pocket, nor for the faint hearted, thats why BMW M power and AMG cost the goods :D

like said above, wait till your off your p's or just buy a s2000. they haul ass

don't spend a single cent on it. if you want more power, sell it and by a r33 with the rb25 in it. that alone will see you get a roughly 40kw gain in power. the amount you would have to spend on your motor to even get close to that would be close to what you could buy a second complete car for, plus it wouldn't be P plate legal. you will only get a few kw gain from any mods that will be P plate legal (and not to mention the fact that any mods that will gain you more than a few kw will cost a buttload). to be honest, you would've been better off buying a different car. a commodore, falcon or even a lancer would beat your car. and for those that know me will know what the next car recommendation will be (and it isn't a magna, it's the other one). my choice would've been a SSS pulsar. it has more power than the rb20E in the skylines (9kw more), and the car weighs less (over 100kg less).

probably not what you wanted to hear

      I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.

      As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.

      Being a race car, and being in the era of the Arduino, one would think it would take little effort to build a controller to do the spraying based on a real physical measurment. Waaaaay back in the dim dark AS days, JE "designed" (as in, he had help) a microcontroller based intercooler spray system. It watched the difference between a temp sensor stuck on the core and one in the free air in front of the cooler, and if the temperature difference exceeded a (settable) threshold, it would activate the sprays. Thus, it only ran water when there was an actual need for water. If you stop to think about the actual physical things that are going on in that stack of coolers, there's probably at least a couple of triggering conditions one could come up with, and one could probably even run one pump with more than one solenoid valve, to allow water to be placed where it is needed, or at all points at once (if it is needed at all points). We're in the age of science baby. But.... I suspect that intercooler water sprays are on the forbidden list in most circuit classes, no? So only good for Targa type stuff?

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
