How Can I Get More Power?????

[gdg079]

These are the things I've done to my standard R33.

* Front mount intercooler.

* 2 Stage bleeder valve boost contoller

* Adjustable Suspension

* Blow Off

* Water Injection to the Inlet Manifold.

* 3 inch mandril bent exhaust from the dump pipe back.

I'm running about 140 kw at the rear wheels, what should my next project be to increase the power.???

Look at changing your engine management system, then maybe a turbo, or theres the Wet NOS systems if you are just after bang for your buck.

What sort of cost is involved in changing engine management systems and are they the same as ecu's???

im not trying to offend, as i dont even have a skyline, but 140at the wheels sounds low for the mods you've got

aren't guys making like 200rwkw with those kind of mods?

i am having fuel problems as well. Don't know whats wrong with it but at high boost the whole car jolts. Runnin at 12 psi. ???? is this a computer prob or fuel, i have no idea HELP???

fuel pump, regulator, injectors,

ECU

Exhaust; dump, cat, cat back

And yeah, that is pretty low power for a 33 with those mods

a stock R33 GTS-T would be close to that wouldnt it?

Its got a high flow cat, i put it on when i did the exhaust, didn't do the dump pipe tho, its still the standard size, waiting to get a bigger turbo. Maybe this is the problem.

It was only running about 112 kw when i bought it. What could the problem be??

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks

200rwkw with those mods is a joke. try about 160rwkw is more reasonable. or even 150rwkw. for more power try:

3" front pipe, 3" hiflow cat, 3" exhaust

electronic boost controller, one that doesn't bleed off pressure and open opens to the gate when desired pressure level is set

get an apexi safc or jaycar dfa, a piggy back to lean out mixture and get more power

aftermarket ecu

the exhaust and ecu wil give your biggest gains

fit the above and you should be near 200rwkw

[paulr33]

dang sorry i misread, i thought you had a dump pipe only. my bad

ok get an apexi safc or jaycar dfa and lean it out, should get you some more power. what boost are you running? over 11psi ish will make stock ecu do boost cut. the stock ecu is very conserative and won't make out unless its tricked into doing so by the use of the apexi safc or dfa

[Ruffels]

i got bleeder valve and pod only on my 33 and i got 151 @ the wheels

so i dont know what your doing wrong?

gdg079 - dont believe the 200rwkw figures, whats more important is the increase in power you get for your mods. (so try and use the same dyno to compare results) Dynos are notoriously variable from shop to shop and some workshops will give high figures to impress their customers.

140 isnt a bad figure, but with an SAFC or Power FC you will be able to untap more top end power and a better midrange. If you are considering turbos etc in the future go for a new ecu such as Power FC, Motec etc rather than SAFC etc which dont really do the whole job.

what 4doorsleeper said. With the prices that pfc are atm, it would be silly not to get one. Saves alot of money and trouble in upgrading from a safc.

what sort of dollars are involved for a POWER FC and how much work is involved in installing it, coz i can't have my car off the road longer than a day

whats the go with these power FC's paul...are they the type of mod that makes the car instantly un roadworthy?

[4door_Sleeper]

You can plug it in yourself in 5 minutes and drive away. (its defaualt setup is a little bit better than the factory programming.) then at some stage afterwards take it in to your trusted dyno and get them to fine tune it to your car.
