Where To Start?

[revelry]

Hey guys,

I have an RB20DET and I recently made 145.1rwkw with a 3" exhaust, pod and a small FMIC (on 14psi). Where do I go from here? Been searching but can't really find much on it.

I want to be reaching around the 200rwkw mark.

Would injectors, fuel pump, bigger turbo (what type? would a stock RB25DET or RB30ET turbo be capable of this power?) and a bigger FMIC get me there or is there more work to do than just that? What do I begin with!

Thanks.

a rb25 with minor mods will make 200kw on the stock turbo. it would just need full exhaust, fmic, more boost and an ecu/piggyback.

def get a fuel pump (bosch 040) and a re-map to start with (if you cant afford the ecu)

How much does a re-map set you back?

I have a small intercooler at the moment, is it worth upgrading to a larger one at all or would that just be a waste of cash?

read stage 1 and stage 2 of the R32 GTST tuning guide on the skyine site in my sig

remap cost me 450...fuel pump 285....

if you want more boost, then yes, get a FMIC.

but if your getting a new turbo, e.g. r33/34 turbo or a 2530 youll wanna get it remapped after youve installed the new turbo

Bigger FMIC won't help for that sorta power, keep the one u got.

Rb25det engine swap will set you back more than making your rb20det hit 200rwkw with mods

He clearly states in his original post that he has an RB20, not an RB25.

Standard tricks, in rough order.

1. Exhaust - Turbo Back - 3+in is nice plz.

2. FMIC

3. Fuel Pump (Bosch 040/044)

4. Injectors

5. AFM

6. Aftermarket ECU + TUNE (seriously, ALWAYS get them tuned, don't be a tightass, just do it - you'll be a much happier man).

7. Think about Turbo etc...

Cheers for the comments guys Seems like they're relatively easy to get power out of.

Munna1, read your guide and looks pretty decent! Just wondering what size stock R32 intercoolers are? Just wanna see if my cooler is a stock R32 one.

if its a FMIC, gtst's have a SMIC, ie its behind the lhf guard.

[revelry]

engines not in an R32
