    Want To Get More Power.

    any reason why you can up with than number? why not just build the car up with a good sized turbo so that it has down low power and plenty up top and go from there, rather than set your goal at a certain number or certain 1/4 mile time. you might get 400hp and have a car that is laggy as hell, and while you may be happy that you made 400hp, someone with 350hp may leave you for dead, and have a car that is much more responsive and much more fun to drive.

    as someone said before, try and take someones car for a drive that has a few mods done to it and see what you think.

    and why do people list a BOV as a performance mod? LOL

    400hp was just want i was looking for, dosent mater if lest as long as its nice to drive.

    Mate if I were you I would just do bolt ons with supporting mods and go for 400rwhp. With a correctly sized turbo it shouldn't be "that" laggy.

    My mate is putting a rb26 into his r32 and going single turbo at the same time. He's budgeting somewhere between "10 - 15k" and he is doing alot of the work himself, and in the end he is still limited to about 450-500hp because the engine will still be stock.

    if you have no mods whatsoever, i would say exhaust first, pod filter, injectors, wastegate actuator. all fairly simple, and decent power gains, 170-190rwkw for $2000-3000. then you can look at bigger turbo, intercooler, plenum, engine management, clutch, fuel pump, bov... for more serious power. probably up to 220-250rwkw for another $4000-7000.

    it aint cheap. but most things you can get 2nd hand if youre not too fussy. just remember, the poor man pays twice. i replaced my stocko clutch 7 months ago, and now i need a new one for my new level of power.

    if you can, have a drive of a modified skyline, and see how you like it.

    I've got exhaust, pod, intercoller, fuel pump, cluch, bov and coil packs done already. Im sorta got a bugget of 14k, a bit of that will go into engine delailing. If i end up needing more cast ill just have to work harder. How relistic is 400hp?
