engine mods

[chris19]

hey well since i dont know a lot about engines lets hope u people do!. I don have the car yet i will as soon as i find one i want to buy but im just getting a list of changes i want to do to my car

Questions:1 how may kw's at the wheels are skylins standard?

2 I am interested in gaining more power with a series 2 r33 type m without spending a lot of money so waht can people recommend i will already have an exhaust sytem so whats after that?. I have been told that i shouldnt really change the boost setting because it can screw a lot of things up if not done right.

so what else can i do without touching the boost?

The reason i ask is that im spending a lot of money on buying the car and insurance so i wont have a lot left over , but my mate has a evo 8 so as soon as i get my skyline he wants to prove the evo is better. I know i prob have no chance at beating the evo esp standard so i dont want to get killed i dont mind getting beatin just not by a lot lol thanks for anyones help.

so any engine mods that people can let me know off that are a good way to gain power and dont cost me the price of buying a new house lol let me know thanks

PLEASE, do not get into a war with your mate over whose car is fastest / best / most powerful / best handler / best stopper. It is not worth your, or worse, someone else's, life.

If you must, make sure you take it off-street, ie racetrack.

Who cares man, its a car? There's always going to be a faster car so theres no point racing on the street.

How much money will you have left over?

A bleed valve is a safe option in terms of boost control. (nothing above 15psi stockinternals)

Ouch if you want to prove your R33 is beter than an Evo 8 you better go get a loan.

To be fair if you get a front mount intercooler, have full exhaust (alot of imports only have cat back) and an aftermarket computer (Power FC is nice) you should be making 180 kwatw on standard boost. Your looking at about $4000-$5000 to get that done including some time on the dyno to get the tune done nice. Your still going to lag behind your friends evo but you won't be miles behind (straight line that is add corners into equation and he has you).

If you want more then think about new turbo and boost controller and with stock internals you might make 250 kwatw without too much problem running decent boost. This should give you enough power (if you sort out wheel spin) to keep up and driven well beat a stock evo. Around $6000 would get most of this done.

If you want more then you need to think about doing up the internals. Also by doing this your going to find that your standard brakes, suspension and clutch will be sub par. Btw rather than racing on the street just get some of these mods done and go to a dyno day ... you will more than likely put out more power and thats sort of like winning :-)

yeah im not going to go racing him around the streets im not that stupid but he does have like 4k of open road at his house so i just muck around with him there. the good thing is about 2k of that is bitchamin (dont know how to spell it lol) becasue with his family business they need road trains to get from one end of the property to the other. I will have around 4k left over so i can do some little stuff then. yeah i know it wont be better but i didnt want to get completly nailed by him but thanks for the help neways
