I've just recently bought an r33 gtst series 2 (1996). It currently has 360rwkw on eflex.

Current setup...

Greddy plenum

740cc side feed injectors

Blitz front mount

6boost manifold

Gt3582r

Walbro intank

Surge tank

Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump

And other bits and peices...

So I want to make about 450-500rwkw.

Im going to get an eflex sensor to be able to run up to 85% ethenol and 98 in emergancies.

This is what I want to do...

Head

Supertech 1mm over sized valves(purchased)

Supertech Valve springs (purchased)

Supertech titanium retainers(purchased)

Tomei valve guides

Tomei 270 8.8mm lift cams(purchased)

Tomei 1.5mm metal head gasket(purchased)

ARP 2000 head studs(purchased)

Tomei inlet and exhaust cam gears(purchased)

Bottom end

Spool rebuild kit with CP pistons

Has acl race series bearings and spool conrods etc.

Spool high volume sump

Can someone recommend an oil pump?

New water pump N1?

ARP 2000 main studs

Fuel

Bosch 2200cc injectors (purchased)

Billet fuel rail(purchased)

Walbro 460lph e85 friendly pump

Also will be going larger precision turbo but thats another story.

This list is not exhaustive and any input and opinions would be appreciated.

Are my power figures acheivable and relatively reliable?

Please let me know if I'm on the right track.

I know what your saying, I was thinking of doing a 30 bottom end but I just love a highly strung rb25.

what's wrong with a highly strung RB30? lol

it will make more power under the curve and bring any turbo on earlier than a Rb25

Aaagh. Now you have me thinking again! Lol.

Well the head is pretty much sorted I'll look into the 30 bottom end. What do you recken of the spool rb30 bottom end package??

It looks reasonable...

Would I have clearence issues between my 6boost manifold and the block??

Sorry mate, I just took it for granted that any reasonable person would have all machine work (porting and so on) done when their doing a build like this.

Thats why I didn't mention it.

Can't assume people are reasonable on here!

And I wouldn't group porting with machine work, but whatever.

I would suggest going some more modern injectors. Go top Feed ID's or something. My tuner hates that I have Nismo's, to me the car runs perfect but he reakons he could get it a whole lot sweeter with some ID's etc in there

Bosch injectors no good? I thought they were the same as ID's, they are also top feed. No?

Yes they are the same thing - 89CAL was looking at your current list and missed your shopping list.

    • 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!
