Hi Guys

I'm getting a tune with Toshi shortly(replace ecu , dyno & road test) and installing a high flow turbo and transmission cooler so I can up the boost and push around 200rwkw

As it stands however this is my setup , just BPU

1997 Skyline R33 GTS25T AUTO

Straight through 3'inch from turbo back

Pod filter

Blitz turnflow cooler

HDI Boost controller

stock turbo (running at 12psi)

Splitfire coilpacks

Automatic box

What do you reckon I'm doing now at the wheels? (150 -160 rwkw?)

Ps: Just asking for a power figure, please keep the "put it on a dyno , skylines autos are slow etc... to yourself

Cheers :)

150rwkws now

170rwkw with ECU, tune and a T

Highflow turbo will need injectors and fuelpump.

Will net 240 to 250rwkw

Oh, only 170rwkw @ about 12psi with tune?

Toshi mentioned 200-220 rwkw max after ecu replacement,fuel pump and tune and also said it would not be wise to go above that , even with a high flow turbo as the auto box will not be able to handle it (it is also my daily driver , so not looking for a "dyno queen" or anything , just a responsive cruiser).

Did not think the auto skyline was capable of netting 240 to 250rwkw

It is - If you have supporting mods.

Remember Injectors, Fuel Pump, Nistune with what you already have.

Check the Hypergear thread.

Auto - I'm pulling 245rwkws on a highlow (GCG 2871) now out of puff. I expect Transmission safe up to 280-300kws.

I have a 34 GTT with Neo motor.

Was 170rwkws stock with FMIC, Exhaust + 7psi

thanks. Certainly not 100 , thinking about 150. Was just a bit curious . Cheers

Point of my post was, it's a moot question that you ask.

We don't know your engine or what power feels like to you, so it could be making any amount of power between those numbers based on what every other untuned R33 has ever made on a dyno. It could be down on compression, it could run inefficiently or restrictive, or it could be well kept and healthy. Too many variables at hand.

People can guess all they like, but no one knows, so playing "guess the kw of this setup" is so pointless that people even make fun competitions out of it at dyno days and the guesses are always all over the place. Therefore any figures or feelings you take from people who have never even driven your car are irrelevant. Did you know that a car tuned precisely on a dyno may produce 5rwkw more or less on the same dyno 5 minutes later? Now imagine how varied the guesses are when we don't have a dyno...

I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but I think you are trying to emotionally side step the hard fact that only a dyno will help you with your question. If you don't care about dyno queen figures, any figures shouldn't really matter anyway - only the seat of the pants feeling or measured acceleration difference that you are chasing. Thus, my recommendations are to choose modifications that are known to increase midrange pull, and forget all about the numbers, as the only time power figures are relevant is when showing the difference between tunes on the same dyno...and even then...variance.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
