Hey i just recently purchased a r33 S1, and am goign through the process of workign out whats been done...

As far as i know it has the following

GCG Hi-flow turbo (happily discovered last night)

Aftermarket dump pipe welded onto a hi-flow cat, and i think 3" exhast thereafter.

HKS Pod Filter

Blitz FMIC

GFB BOV

Turbosmart Dual Stage Boost Controller

Apexi Turbo Timer

Stock ECU

Now I am thinking about upgrading the fuel pump, so i opened up the cover in the boot, and just see a few fuel hoses and sum gland thing.... which everythign goes down into... Do i have to take this gland thing off the find out what fuel pump i have. If someone can enlighten me on this process it would be great, and also how to tell if its a stock fuel pump in there now.

I was also thinking if the car may have injectors? or would this require the mapping of an aftermarket ecu? hence ruling out injectors?

That said I will soon be installing a PFC, and not sure wether i should get the PFC Boost Control add-on... or another after market electronic boost controller, such as an AVC-R? I would prefer to stick with a PFC addon, as dont really want extra gadgets unneccesarily, however am unsure of the accuracey, reliability and the ability for a PFC B-controller to hold boost, and wether boost can be tuned through the rev range with this unit?

Also i want to install an oil catch can some time this week, however all the cans i have seen only have 1 inlet 1 outlet.... i want a 100% plumback can, that i can have easy access to baffle, and require 2 inlets and 2 outlets.. should i just use "T joiners" or will this restrict flow. Am i better of just making my own?

Sorry bout the overly long post... just wishign to clear up a few things i am unsure of... thanx in advance, and please keep the suggestions reasonable... and dont go suggesting i get this and this and that to get 500rwkw.. more than happy to get 250rwkw at the end of the day

:) thanx

basically u would need some form of management to change injectors so that probably rules that out and the pump also (usually)

the powerfc boost kit offers basic boost control , it does not offer gear / rpm / duty based boost control , auto turbo learning boost control (where you do some 7000rpm runs and it automatically learns your boost curve) , scramble mode or any of the ricey stuff . although this stuff may or may not be usefull to you for the price difference (bugger all) you might as well get the avcr , atleast it can be removed and sold if you have to its not tied to the powerfc and you might want those extra features one day . There is a thread covering this if you want to search

with a powerfc , injectors and pump you should see 250rwkw . the turbo will be the restriction so perhaps plan a slightly bigger fuel system that could support 300+ incase you decide to get a bigger turbo later

thanks for your suggestion, i called GCG turbos, and they said the turbo is good for 260kw and 24psi boost...

but as you said i will require injectors and pump, as i want it to be a reliable 250rwkw...

Should i be leaning towards upgrading fuel lines aswell, and will a fuel regulator be in order?

Your stock injectors will look a purpleish color.

To take the black ring off to gain access to the tank then ur pump u will need a bar and a hammer.Sit the bar a groove then keep beating it counter clockwise untill u get it open.It may take a while but it is by far the only way to undo it.And make sure u put it back on the same way it came off.:)(I used a car jack bar and hammer)

Get into this thread catchcan plumbing question it tells all u need to know,with pics too,about catch can plumbing and will also help u decide what style setup u need.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • 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?
