Modifying a R32

[Guest sirmx6]

Can anyone advise on what mods you would do to a R32 Gts-t and what you would expect them to do for the car.

Also, any facts or figures would be appreciated (power, acceleration etc)

Reason being is that i test drove one and they feel very very sluggish and not very quick.

Do they have ABS and 4WS ?? May be a little on the heavy side.

They feel pretty slow stock. Stock for stock my GTiR is alot faster than my old R32.

kabab ran 14.2 with a stock turbo, 13psi and an exhaust on his R32 gtst as a benchmark.

Stock turbo is pretty restrictive, throw on a decent size huffer, say GT2530, pump, reg, cooler, should see 200-220rwkw on tune.

Have a look in the engine bay - some models were equipt with ABS, others not. They did come with 4WS (HICAS), but the best move would be to buy a removal kit...

a stock r32 gts-t should pull a 14.5-14.7 preety easily.

fit a 3 inch zorst off the turbo, hi-flow air filter, FMIC, 14 psi, chiptoque chip or Apexi power fc, and your looking at approx 180kw@wheels, mayb more not sure, but at this power you will need a bigger clutch.

this should be good for a low 13 with street tyres

correct me if im wrong

Nah GT2530 is too restrictive Morgs you give it too much credit. The GT2835R however is like that cereal, just right.

[Morgs]

Perhaps I should mention the avaliability and price of the turbo will impact purchase... if you're made out of gold like our associate ultim here, a GT2835R will :burnout:

how much kw will a muffler add to my GTS25 non turbo? At the moment stock its got 142kw

[hawks]

142kw are you sure?

muffler will add db but not many kw

[Guest alchemist]

get a vg30 turbo. its bigger bolts straight up and cheap too

[Guest sirmx6]

What car is the VG30 turbo off ?? 300zx twin turbo ?? Standard computer will accept it ??

[d0p3y]

Yeah it's off of a 300ZX, alchemist is correct in reccomending this. If you search the General and Performance forums you will find a fair amount of information on this, as well as RB20DET/R32 GTS-t power upgrades and stuff =)

[hawks]

funnily enough the vg30 turbo is off a vg30 motor!!!

vg30det not vg30dett

single turbo motor only ( the old square 300zx)

[Guest alchemist]

Yeah its from the 300 yeah it bolts straight up and no worries with anything. Standard computer is fine with it. The turbo is good for 1 bar (14.7psi) but dont go any higher or u will end up losing your exhaust wheel. Your next step will be to cool the air with a decent cooler.

[Guest alchemist]

should only set u back around 450 bucks. Just make sure u have a look at it before u lay down the cash.

[Guest sirmx6]

Thanks for the reply.

The turbo is getting a bit on in age now i guess, the single turbo motor hasn't been around for a while.

Where can i get one from ??

Will the standard internals hold up to the 14psi with a standard cooler ??

[randymoss]

14psi might be ok but it would probably be better to run 12psi just to be safe.

[Guest alchemist]

yeah the internals will be fine. 12 pound is a better bet with a standard cooler too even tho my mates is still going now after a year and he only just got a decent cooler and he always runs 1 bar.
