Checkout The Parts For My R33 350Kw Build

[Booki]

Hey all,

I have been doing as much reading as i can regarding how to get 350rwkw out of my R33 GTR.

At the moment all it has from the previous owner is a exhaust and some HKS Pods. Everything else is stock, including the turbo's.

I have done some research and have a bit of a parts list put together by Kudo's, but just wondering what you fellas think...The car is going to be my daily driver.

Garrett GT2860R-5s

Turbo Install Kit (all required gaskets & studs...)

Genuine Nissan Exhaust Manifold Stud Kit

A'PEXi Power FC D-Jetro

Greddy Suction Kit To Suit AFM Less Set-Up OR HKS AFM Replacement Bodies (To reuse factory intake set-up)

HKS EVC 5 Electronic Boost Controller

Walbro 400ltr/hr Intake Fump Pump OR Nismo Fuel Pump (Direct Replacement For Factory Pump, No Modifications Required)

Power Enterprise 700cc Fuel Injector Set, Including Full Genuine Nissan Seal Kit

Greddy Fuel Rail To Suit Above Injectors (anything above 550cc are 11mm and don't suit the factory rail)

Tomei Type-L Fuel Pressure Regulator

Do you think its nessasry to go MAP's vs Z32 AFM's?

After i install everything, will i even be able to drive to the tuner? I think i remember reading that the D-Jetro doesn't have a base tune installed so the car won't run?

Is it hard to install the MAP Sensors?

It is a pretty pricey build, anywhere where you fellas think i could save a few pennies? Honestly I am looking for the best performance for the dollar. What ever gives me best bang for buck, that is what i want to go for!

Input/comments/feedback much appreciated by all

have a look at the rb26 dyno thread,

but..... get ID 1000 cc injectors with adapters will fit std rail. dont need new fuel rail, Dont need pressure reg, z32 AFM is fine.... No mapless not needed.

-5's with 20 psi or so will give you 350...But may aswell aim for 400

You after top end power, or response and a bit less top end?

[Mitcho_7]

Look at buying things from overseas to save $$$, the aud is good at the moment!

[Booki]

Looking for more response and a bit less top end, it is my daily after all.

Didn't know you could get adapters to fit the std rail, any draw backs on not using a aftermarket fuel rail?

Main reason why i wondered about the Z32 vs MAP is because you can normally pickup Z32's and Power FC's used.

Can you recommend any sites Mitch?

For the turbos, get onto street to track and email to get a quote. You'll save a fair but on those alone I would think

[AngryRB]

anything for the fuel system go to "InjectorsOnline.com"

I bought a set of 1000cc injectors at a great price and great service..

False economy considering secondhand Z32s. They might work, but there's always a good chance that someone is unloading them because they were faulty in some way. Not worth the pain. Buy new, genuine from someone you can trust (and that's unlikely to be someone on eBay).

As per the infomation and results on here, Then i would say wrong turbo choice, Go for the -9s instead.

[Booki]

Any reason why you would recommend the -9 instead of the -5?

I believe the -5's are capable of more power (if the need arises) and have similar response to stock turbo's if not better?

[34GeeTeeTee]

Although -

HKS EVC 5 Electronic Boost Controller

Might be known as one of the boost controllers with all its features etc, they CAN be a pain in the a$$ as mine is nothing but trouble....

[Booki]

Whats happened to yours mat? Would you recommend something else?

[Lithium]

I believe the -5's are capable of more power (if the need arises) and have similar response to stock turbo's if not better?

Yes, capable of more power - no, most definitely laggier.

[Booki]

How much more lag are we talking about? vs stock response? As I am happy with stock, if i need the power just down shift?

[34GeeTeeTee]

Constantly gets err100 under full boost when its bolted up... When it swings free it works 9 times out of 10... Its probably a rare case but google search shows similar complaints out there but NO fix seems to exist that i can see...

-5 are like hks 2530 and -9 like hks gtss, both more lag then stock, by the sounds of it you want -7/34n1 turbos

theres a good write up in someones sig (forget who) that has the turbos choice for the power wanted.

-9s wont make 350, But close enough and -7s will make 320 odd.

-5 although such a popular turbos are much better with a stoked motor, Or a track car where you can wind the boost up and really let them open up.

As your said yours is a daily, -5s would be usless below 4500 rpm, -9s would be biggest id go. And -7s would be the best choice for a daily street gtr.

The aboive pretty much sums it up, Have a search in my name for the many threads i made about -5 vs -9 ect ect.

have similar response to stock turbo's if not better?

lol. no.

-5's are not as responsive as stock, -9 are similar, -5 is always going to have more lag.

get an apexi avc-r , mine has never had trouble, is easy to work and has alot of adjustability

[Booki]

Still trying to decide if i want -5 or -9 turbo's.

How is the car revving before you reach full boost?

Also, How do you go about fitting bigger injectors in the stock fuel rail? or am i better off getting a bigger fuel rail? (where do i buy the adapters?)

You said you car was a daily and wanted resposne, Unless you have a stroker kit then -9s are your only choice that matches your needs

As for injectors, Tuff car parts will do a set of adapters to suit std rail for about $50 a set.

Grab some Id 1000cc from tuspeed.com, Great service and good price at $745 odd
