I know there is ALOT of topics like this but I would like to see what people have to say about my plans.

So I am looking at buying a completely stock r33 GTR (got one insight) and have got the following mods planned (not very mechanically switched on like you guys which is why I need your opinion)

Blitz nur spec r exhaust, decat, front and dump pipes, blitz front mount intercooler, apexi induction kit, coilovers, wheels and tyres.

If anyone has a idea of what power gains I will get from that I am very interested to know. Also if there is anything I am missing (I know there will be) please let me know. Looking to spend 5-6k on mods to start.

Thanks

Leave the stock intercooler in there and leave the stock intake alone as well as they are both fine for 400kw at the wheels. Also don't change the dumps till you upgrade the turbos

spend the money you save on an ecu and tune those 2 things will make a massive difference

What ecu would be my best option? Doing what you said would save me a lot of money. Thanks

There are lots of plug in options

Power fc is well known but a little limited by today's standards

Haltec, link, vipec and a few others as well, talk to who you plan on getting to tune it for you which they believe is best for you

Just do:

  • Exhaust from Turbos back.
  • Upgrade injectors.
  • Maybe upgrade fuel pump.
  • ECU
  • Boost controller
  • Splitfire Coils.

This should get you very noticable power upgrades without costing you a liver and keeping a nice stock appearance.

Depending on age/condition, I'd look at an oil pump too, to avoid grenading things when the power goes up.

The thing is that's an engine out job. Which is a fair bit of work just to do the pump.

There's the whole cost : benefit : risk analysis to to be done.

    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
    • Temu raptor, lol. At least the owner isn't your typical ranger danger lot
