Hiya,

I am currently running my 95 R33 series I with the only mods I am aware of being A full turbo back HKS exhaust and HKS air pod.... I am very happy with both of these ......

I am looking at buying a second hand GTR cooler and an apexi AVC-R to install at the same time...

My questions are if I install both the cooler and boost controller along with my mods I already have what could I turn the boost up to safely ( still wanting a decent increase though ), I was thinking around 12 ish???? ( its around 7 standard isnt it??? ) ...

Is it worth turning the boost up that much ... ie will I get a noticable increase in power ???? ....

And is there anything else that should be improved if I was going to go ahead with the increase in boost????

Thanks

Brett

If you are running a stock Turbo then leave your boost at about 10.5-11.0 as the stock turbo can only handle 12psi (and no point running it constantly at full boost).

I've got a '95 S1 which has done 65,000km and purrs like it should. Cat-back exhaust, FMIC, boost controller and a HKS Airpod.

@ 7psi i got 169rwkw

@ 12psi i got 192rwkw

So u could expect similar results from your mods.

I have a dual boost controller on my r33 s1 and run 13.5psi Hi and 9 psi low the standard turb on a s1 is good for only 14 psi and thes td turbo on a s2 is good for 12 psi due to its plastic inlet wheel.

my only problem is on a hot day I hit the fuel cut defender on my hi boost setting.

Thanks for the replies.....

With the AVC-R I am planning on having the two presets at something like 7 psi for normal driving which should be what I am running now I guess.... and the second preset at about 12 psi which I only want to use when I want to blow someone away at the lights :) So I dont really have to worry about running too high a boost over a long period of time as it will only be used in short spurts....

You can run the turbo on 13.5 no worries, but the car is gonna run real rich, therefor your power increase aint gonna be that noticable. Better off getting some sort of ecu, S-afc.

And trust me, You'll never run low boost for "normal driving"

Ahhh crap.... If I get a S-AFC as well then I will have to find a home for that also!!!! I don't really want these Apexi computers visible as I believe they will be a huge theft magnet. Hmmm I am going to need to do some more thought on this :P

Yeah I was thinking along similar lines.... I am wondering if I can fit both the S-AFC and AVC-R in the glove box... then all I have to do is open the glove box when I want to change the boost....

Hehe I can picture it now..... You pull up at the lights and there is some nutter next to you wanting to give it to you at the lights and the first thing you do is jump for the glove box!!!! He would be thinking WTF :confused:

hehe that would be cool... :P

On the other hand you wouldnt have a glove box anymore but who really uses it anyway!!!

    • 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?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
