i currently have a r33 s1 gtst with a cat back exhaust,pod filter and bov i was wandering what would be best do do first i was thinking of getting a front mount intercooler however i was wandering what i need to do to get a full turbo back system i dont know much so any help would be great ive been reading around and dont understand a whole lot :blink:

My list would be

1. Coilovers Or springs + shocks (can get d2 for about 1500 install in perth)

2. Heavy Duty Clutch ($800-$1000 install)

3.full exhuast ($1000-$1200)

4.Fmic ($250-$300 for a china-cooler and about $500-$600 for piping)

5.Rims (anywhere from $500 to over 2k)

An exhuast system in a turbo car goes like this

Turbo --> Dump --> Front Pipe ---> Cat ---> Tip

so basciy u have the cat-back which means to get a turbo back system u will need to buy a front pipe and dump pipe.

You can get a Dump and front all-in-one pipe for around $300-$500

-I think rims are important not becuase they make the car look good but they increase the size of tyre on your car which helps with traction, and most of the time when you get rims you buy good tyres too

How much are you looking to spend?

Cheers Michael :blink:

well i hav 17's with brandnew rubber the rims arnt special but i guess there sumthing and the suspension i bought the car from paul at autoworx and he told me the suspension was a racing type which were adjustable from what i hav felt its very hard sorry for my lack of knowledge im still young

npz sammie :blink: we all start somewhere :)

here are link to a dump + front pipe

also check out http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...p?showforum=141

as there are alot of Business Traders which supply the parts your looking for.

are you from perth?

and maybe u could help me with another question i been wanting to ask but havnt posted yet, im confused with boost how it works and what boost controllers do and how people talk about 7psi,12 psi etc and how they can adjust it

if you can take a photo of the suspension tops, or the suspension itself (turn the wheel so you can see under the car more)

FMIC, will not really give you more power by itself, it will allow you to run more boost which in turn will give you more power

i say go for getting a full turbo back exhuast system and you should gave abit of power

ok i give this one a shot, im not an pro so it may not be 100% correct but should give you an idea;

a turbo compress the air flowing into the engine, so you can get more air into the engine.

Boost is basicly the compressed air being pushed into the motor, so the more boost you run the more compressed air being pushed into the engine BUT that doesnt mean you will be getting more power. each turbo has its own Efficiencies range, which for a rb25 turbo is around a max of 12 to 14psi once you go over that the turbo will not make anymore power or you risk blowing it up as the wheels inside the turbo arnt steel.

A boost controller controllers the level of boost, you can get Electronic boost controllers or Manual ones ---> EBC you can adjust the boost lvl inside the car and manual ones you have to open the bonnet and turn it

michael

alrite thanx alot um mayb in a private message or on here u could maybe explain to me about boost how it works etc psi and stuff ?

i see what else i can think of and send you a pm later tonight :blink: i uses to be a young sauwa member and i remember how much there is to learn about turbo cars and skylines and how hard it can be at times :)

after reading through some guys alot of people recomend to finish off my exhaust do you think this is a good idea ? iwant something to give a little bit more power and does anyone know roughly how much a dump pipe and a front pipe will cost me ?

great well im defintely considering buying the split dump and front pipe from the link above im not sure if i hava high flow cat i will have to speadk to the dealership where i got it from but i will do that first get the front and split since it will give me some kw's and i was wandering how come batmbl is selling it for so cheap ? i was looking at the xspeed site just a normal hks front pipe is around $600 and a turbo dump pipe is around $450 ? any reason why batmble is selling for so cheap ?

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
