your best options would be the pfc, dont waste you time with anything else!!!!!!!!

Cost would be a factor.

AP engineering Power FC ( required for an RB20 ) would be around $1300-$1400 plus tuning of $450 ish.

Remap including supplying the necessary board hardware is around $880 all up including tune.

Any retuning is based on an hourly rate same as tuning any computer and both Lucas's Bikiroms and Glenn's Lumpyroms have had considerable success in high power applications .

Lee Sampsons 470 rwhp SR20 DET and 11.18 1/4 mile on a Lumpy rom is testament to that.

Or Adam Trewhellas RB25 Cefiro with 365 rwhp and stays on the rev limiter for most of the Wanners drift track.

Only down side is in WA you are limited to the 2 shops above as Denver mentioned so if you hate us both , your in trouble for retunes :P

spoke to hyperdrive about it.... sounds pretty good. only downside i guess is cost of reprogramming when upgrading components.

didnt really want to spend 2k on pfc .

does 300hp@ wheels sound a bit far fetched? (already have gt2530 and gtr injectors)

Cost of retuning is no different than any other computer. Rate is $140ph on the dyno and takes about the same time as tuning an Autronic/motec/wolf/power FC.

300rwhp is achievable , I have 290rwhp in an RB20 with low mount and external gate.

( Well I did till the turbo blew on Saturday night :) )

One of our custom made hiflo ones using a stock R33 GTS-T turbo.

No mods to be needed and dump bolts straight up. $1600 which sounds expensive except every other turbo avaliable requires dump/intake or water line changes.

We weld the gate up and run external gate mounted on a stock manifold.

Relatively cheap but a little laggy atm until we sort of few other things out.

And yes , it is on stock internals and running 16-17psi.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
