My Next Mods, Comments please

[GunMetalR33]

OK, so I am staring to get sick of 200rwkw and would like to increase the power up to about 250rwkw, my car is a r33 gts-t series 1. I have a plan for this but first here are the Mods that I currently have made to the engine.

• HKS Pod With CAB.
  
• 3' turbo back zaust.
  
• FMIC.
  
• APEXI Boost Controller (PFC).
  
• APEXI Power FC Pro.
  
• Adj Zaust Cam Gear.
  
• Ceramic 5 Puck Clutch.
  
• Oil Catch Can.
  
• NGK Irraway 7 plugs.
  
• Supra Twin Turbo Fuel Pump (Jap Spec) It sould be up to the task.
  

I think thats it...

So heres the plan: Get a GCG 450hp Hi-Flow, Nismo Fuel Pressor Reg, Z32 AFM and a re-tune...

I was thinking of other options instead of the hi-flow which include GT-RS, GT25-35, GT28 etc etc but from what I have heard the hi-Flow should make 250rwkw and is cheaper and easier to fit, plus its EPA friendly

The big factor here is going to be funds (I dont have a money tree :{)

Sorry about the longish thread... Any comments will help

go the high flow, fmic, powerfc, fuel pump, and bigger injectors ... then get it tuned by dyno dave ....

[GunMetalR33]

I have everything but the bigger injectors and really dont want to spend the money on them at the moment. Who is Dyno Dave and has he tuned hi-flows to 250rwkw before??? I think Sydney Kid said that he had a couple of rb25's make 250rwkw with hi-Flows

[tang0]

if you pm deatschwerks (David Deatsch [[email protected]] ) he can sort you out with a set of 550cc injectors at a V reasonable cost ... like half of hks type price ...

anyway, dave tuned my car and got 240kw at 13 psi with a gcg high flow .. basic mods are fmic, pfc, 550's, high flow, 3" turbo back, pump, pod

not bad really ... dave really is a total whiz when it comes to finding horsepower !

if he has not tuned it before, then its prolly not worth tuning as far as i can tell ...

[tang0]

oh, drop me a pm if you want his mobile #

[GunMetalR33]

What does Dave charge for a re-tune??? & how much did your gcg hi flow cost you , which one is it 450 or 480 ???

[2BNVS]

www.nengun.com have got injectors goin cheap, i just bought sard 550cc ones from there for 740 brand new delivered for the full set, now i think they have dropped to somethin around 730? with no extra taxes...

ben...

[GunMetalR33]

Not really interested in the injectors at the moment guys, I know you can get 240-250 out of the stock ones and i dont have a spare $700 to spend on something I dont really need.

So far it sound like i should go for:

Z32 AFM, Fuel Reg & hi-flow tuned by Dave...

Is there anything that I have left out that I may need (excluding injectors )

[Bass Junky]

I'd go

Z32 AFM (cos you have too)

Hi Flow (cos you have too)

Fuel Reg (cos you have too)

Cams (so the power curve is fat like yo mama)

SK has those car doing 250+ with cams.

BASS OUT

[GunMetalR33]

Thanks for the info Bass Junky, So would the cams help the turbo come on boost quicker due to better breathing. How much for CAMS ???

[GunMetalR33]

I just called Mark at GCG and he quoted me $1900 for the 450 Hi-Flow, is this about the price others have payed?

[Abo Bob]

I thought they only did one version now. Does this mean that they have dropped the 500 hp one?

[GunMetalR33]

Yea it was a searging biatch

I thought they only did one version now.  Does this mean that they have dropped the 500 hp one?

[Jay95R33]

Swap it for a wagon

hehe, only joking.

But I'd be looking at the Z32 AFM, highflow, fuel reg and the cams. The cams will give you that nice mid range hump of power.

Cams aren't cheap though. Tomei Proncams 256's ?? maybe ??

[Bass Junky]

About $740 or so plus delivery

Probably most worth it though.

Make more power wih less boost.

[GunMetalR33]

Dont think I can afford the cams at the moment.

So far the setup will cost as follows:

1) fuel Reg (about $180)

2) Z32 AFM (about $300)

3) 450 hp gcg hi-flow turbo ($1900)

4) About 250 for a re-tune (local place I use)

Totalling about $2630. I cant afford another $1000 + for cams & install....

[Bass Junky]

Damn.

I want somebody to fit cams on a standard engine and turbo to see the results.

Look's like I'm going to have to do it myself.

[GunMetalR33]

Do you thinkt he new cams will push you over the 200kw mark, say 210-215 maybe??? Anything less than that would not make it worth while I reckon...

Cams cost about $750 + at least $250 to re-tune totalling $1000

PS, Who keeps changing my comment above my avatar to rb25de :{

[R33TypeMS2Wooshka]

bass junk : please do man cause quite honestly id love to see how it goes... cause my next step is getting a restrictor bored to 10psi constant... off stock except POD, BOV... and i cant remember what else, theres stuff all shes pretty much STOCK

if only i had the cash id like to see what it can pull myself... but i guess once i start getting cash... this might be a good time for people to start making a thread of what i should do for the first hit of mods and see what it gives

[tang0]

i'm only talking of my experiences here, but ..

a. you dont need a fuel reg

b. the standard afm is fine for the power figures i am running

c. yep, that turbo price is about right - i think i paid that, or thereabouts

d. get someone who REALLY knows his way around a pfc to tune it properly ...

have a look at 'my results' thread i started, 240kw @ 13psi is deffo doable with all the right bits / tuner
