Hey guys,

I would just like some opinions on what i am planning to do to my R33 as the next stage and what other may recommend to do.

The goal is around 250 - 260rwkw's at around 1.2 bar (i understand some lag is expected).

I have already

FMIC, Power FC, AVCR, 3" exhaust with dump pipe, Bosch fuel pump, fuel reg, BOV, heavy duty single plate clutch. I am currently running standard turbo, injectors and air flow meter.

I have decided to upgrade my turbo, injectors and AFM in one hit and have the cash ready to go but the 2 options i can think of are

1) HKS GT-RS (brand new $2800 from Nengun performance), 555cc injectors (jap brand $650) and a Z32 AFM $300

2) High fow standard turbo ($1500 if i had to guess), 555cc injectors (jap $650) & AFM $300

I really wanna buy a new turbo as i don't like buying second hand stuff but i will save alot on getting my standard turbo high flow'd (even though i am not a fan of rebuilding the standard and using existing gate,actuator, oil & water lines)

If i was to get the HKS kit it come with new lines, heavy duty actuator and wastegate.

Opinions on high flows? Any advice?

Cheers guys

I just got mine highflowed. With this highflow set up i got it'll be very hard to reach 250 mark at 1.2 bar. With those types of figures you'll probably wanna get the RS.

However with my case being EPA'd played a big part in my decision to get it highflowed over a newer, bigger turbo.

I got a GTRS installed couple of weeks ago and got 255rwkw at 1.2 bar still have standard air flow meter so have to get Z32 so maybe a bit more in it and some better resolution in the tune. My mods are very similar to yours full 3 inch exshaust, FMIC, PFC, nismo 555cc injector, exhaust cam, lightened flywheel and ceramic clutch, spitfire coils and bosch 044 fuel pump. I couldn' t be happier great balance of response and power. I my main problem now is keeping traction in first gear. Also got $300 back for old turbo and i does come with new lines, heavy duty actuator and wastegate.

You can get a GT30 with a nissan exhaust housing.

 

I dunno how much power you'll get out of that though.

i have seen a r33 that got about 250rwkw from it , but it was running std injectors with a fuel reg to boost the pressure so that might have limited it

i dont know what kind of response it would have compared to the gtrs

Interesting thread. Seems some people only make 240ish with the GCG Hiflow and others make up around 260ish.

I guess it depends on how much power you are making before you go the P/FC + Turbo.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah, to clarify if the car has already been tuned and has been modified and you want to go from a oem cat to a 100 cell or decat or vice versa.Are you saying that the car doesn't need to be tuned after a cat change if it's already been tuned?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      That's the thing, they still add it and it makes fuel cheaper, implying adding 10% of it drops the cost of 91 by what, 5c a liter? I remember when it was barely half the price of 98. Because you know, 85% of what is in the fuel is way cheaper than 91 fuel is by volume.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Auto electricians that do repairs on automotive AC systems can source service kits. I don't know where they actually source them. I do know that there is one available for the R34 comp that I would need it for. If you have to pay someone to dismantle, clean and do needed repairs and fit kit contents, then you'd probably end up spending a good fraction of the cost of a new one. I would not be paying for that, because I would be doing it myself. My mechanic (bro-in-law) will happily source what is needed. Back in the day (like in the 80s and 90s), rebuilding an AC compressor was the standard approach, same as for starter motors, alternators, etc, because new replacements were v. expensive. After the China manufacturing boom and the rise of the disposable approach to everything, people just started throwing broken/worn stuff away and not rebuilding things.
