Cold Air Intake... Where to put piping in an r33

[riggaP]

I realise "the cooler the air, the better" is true. But how much more power can you really expect from a 0-10 deg difference in intake temp??

hi,

as i advised earlier my turbo is smokingup. so im trying to upgrade without wasting the moment. so GT28 is probably the way to go! will spool up at about 3k? i guess.

sydneykid advised me that i would achieve around 220-240rwkw once the mods are done.

i have a trust cooler, full 3-4 inch race system, HKS pod and bleed valve set to 10PSI, got 170rwkw.

so any help would be great!!

thank you all

Ron, sydneykid has most likely forgotten more about cars than I know.

I think that as long as the turbo meets your requirements go for it.

The Garret ball bearing series are by all reports, a very reliable turbo.

The main reason I was asking the questions is that you need to consider all things. It definately would be no good getting a turbo that has too much lag for your liking, or will need upgrading in the near future because you want more power. That is of course unless you don't care about the added expense in the future. You may even be better going a highflow stock turbo.

Personally I am thinking along the lines of either the GT28 or GT30 for my future upgrade, still not too sure (haven't got the cash right now either, so no hurry)

edit: you may want to think about some type of management at the same time - not too sure how the GT28 flows compared to the stock turbo.

riggaP.

10deg difference is about 15-25kW, plus the engine is less likely to detonate. It's a relatively cheap way to maximise your horsepower, and reduce strain on the engine.

Go for big FMIC and CAI, it can't hurt.

See'ya:burnout:

thanx a heap steve and all.

i will probable go with this GT28 turbo.

i will keep us post of how i go.

and yeah RiggaP, dont forget that if your charge air is cooler, you can run more boost=more power!!!

bye bye now
