Hi ppl,

After my research, I've decided to go the whole hog all at once. Reason: Seems to me that if certain mods are staged, this affects the next mod, then the next mod, etc - also could affect performance, reliability etc.

For Example:

If you just do boost (too high), then you risk reliability so you should do FMIC at the same time. If you do turbo but not injectors, you risk leaning out. If you want a new plenum, you have to think of design considerations for the FMIC. Of course ECU is a gimme cause you once you do boost & FMIC, you need to control iginition and fuel better. Then you need a new fuel system to keep the juice flowing.

I've been told to expect maybe 450 HP ?? Any comments on this ??

Anyway, should be a weapon when it's done. I'll tell you when It's finished - It'll be about a month .

Cheers,

Sounds good to me... I would suggest a Greddy Profec B boost controller, cheap and effective. You definately will need a metal headgasket for anything over 400hp, unless you wanna replace the stock one 10 times a week. Heres what I would put on the vehicle, just being more specific and adding a few:

- EGT Gauge

- A/F Gauge

- Boost Gauge

- Metal Headgasket

- Head Deburring/Semi-Polish

- Port Match the Manifolds

- HKS SSQV or Blitz SS BOV

- Wider Rear Tires :burnout:

Sounds excellent. Wish I was still in Queenscliff.

What would 400-450hp pull 0-100 and 1/4mile?

What is daily driving like? Is the car well controlled or all over the place at this power level?

Don't know that answers to these - but will let you know when it's all done.

As meggalka said a new head gasket would be a good start... maybe a set of forged pistons -decompressed if u intend to run high boost... what boost u intending to run?

Hmmm, good point re: metal head gasket.!

Re Boost:I think we talked about 10-12 maybe upto 14 to keep the reliability there. I'll do what Megs suggested and get the expected/target figures up front, before the work comences.

I know where you are coming from - however, the shop I am taking it to knows EMS back to front and inside out - And I am not going to f*&k with it, so I'm going with the flow in this case. Plus, the new EMS range are pretty good I hear.

Oh, and I enjoy supporting Australian Businesses.

Well i've just had a Racing Gear 2400 pressure plate put in and it feels awesome... Unfortunately i haven't taken it for a drive coz i'm getting heaps of mods done too, but the clutch feels really smooth and nice... Compared to a similar clutch which was in another skyline which felt awful... My new one feels similar to the standard one, but a little bit heavier where as this other clutch was heavy and stiff all the way through...

Or if you want a serious clutch go for a OS Giken twin-plate... I heard they rule!!!

brendan...

Good to see another R33 being given the full treatment :uh-huh:

One thing though... A custom plenum you're planning on getting... I don't really like that idea...

SubZero have done a bit of flow testing on their plenum, so that's quite alright, but if you're planning on getting your mechanics to knock one up, it'll be questionable...

Getting even flow to each individual cylinder is an art, and takes a TON of R&D... I can guarantee you that you will have *very* distorted flow seperation figures from a custom plenum, unless they make up a dozen designs in R&D...

I'd suggest the SubZero or GReddy plenum for your car with those mods.

Hey Brendanf,

Sounds like you have a good package coming. I did pretty much the same thing. I only had a high flowed turbo and bleed then I did a bunch of mods at once. I got FMIC, Plenum, XF throttle body, and EMS all at once. I have run as high as 17psi (getting a bit high for my head gasket) and done 205rwkw. As far as boost control goes, the EMS has a built in EBC, you just need a solonoid to hook up to it.

Who is doing the work for you?

Jeff.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
