Hey guys
So I've pretty much done the whole 'stage 1' mods according to this site
http://nissanskyline.6te.net/tuning_GTS25T.htm
Turbo back 3" X-force exhaust
Cooling Pro Type 2 Intercooler
Grounded solenoid
Aftermarket actuator set for ~12 psi
ECU tuned for 12 PSI on stock turbo, r & r removed etc, bought from SECURITY, not custom tuned
Customised enlarged snorkel to fit IC piping + Apexi panel filter
Front strut brace
...and results are dissapointing imo
I haven't dyno'd it yet, but it feels really slack until it hits mega rpm, take off is just sad, any old commonwhore would chomp me.
I'm thinking turbo lag is a major factor.
I think it could do with a new fuel pump and maybe gapped plugs (?), clutch seems fine, not really convinced to get an ebc
My aim was about 200rw, and I was thinking with the 33's lower weight it should be as quick as a stock 300ZX TT or Soarer, which are both specified at about 300HP, but I've driven both of those cars, and I'm sure they would rip this a new one . Hell even a stockish 180sx I drove seemed quicker than this.
So yeah very dissapointed to be honest, and I don't want to spend 3-4K on a turbo and everything that goes with it, I'll just lose it all when I sell the car for less than I bought it probably
Anyone else in the same boat?
