Hey all im just wondering how much added KW u would gain from adding things like:

*exausht with extractors

*pod filter

*cold air intake

*forged pistons

*high performance fuel pump

*high flow 1000cc injectors

*ECU

*bored out

*shaved/polish heads

Would be very helpfull if someone could give me an idea about the fixtures these things would add, cheers.

FI is Forced induction section. your thread has been incorrectly moved there. it should be in Naturaly Aspirated performance.

it has now been moved by me to NA Performance section.

See that SEARCH Button up top?

Its your best friend on this forum, as there is SO MUCH INFO in posts here that has answered your question a hundred times over. :happy:

And to be honest that is a pretty open ended question depending on your starting point or more specific, what engine/chassis combo.

My mistake, i didnt realise he had an NA car

forged pistons and 1000cc injectors were mentioned so yeah

doesnt matter

Can I suggest you jump on google and on this forum and search for what each of those things you mention do. Slapping a whole lot of products together doesn't necessarily mean you make power.

eg. forged pistons- make no additional horsepower and are simply stronger

Fuel pump- makes you no additional power. You only add it when your standard one can't supply enough fuel to make the power you want to make

1000cc injectors- these make you no power either and they would be over kill for a car with less than 900hp. You also need an aftermarket computer to run different injectors.

My advice would be to leave the car standard and enjoy the car how it is and take it to track days where you can learn how to drive. Then once you get off your P's buy a turbo car and you will then get much better value for money when you modify it.

You can put forged internals into a NA car and see benefits.

"Strength" isn't as important in a NA car as you're not looking at winding up the boost and generating more force per each power stroke. Instead of using them for their strength, you take that extra strength per unit material and make the pistons lighter instead, which lets you run a higher redline.

ok mate listen up

you have an NA R32 - that's probably the rb20de engine.. not really a lot to work with here. sure your car still looks great, handles great, and probalby stops great too. but it ain't got much balls.. there's not really much you can do about it unfortunately

stock rb20de probably will make about 80rwkw given its age

to make the most out of what you have, i'd suggest:

- extractors, high-flow cat, 2.5" exhaust ($1000)

- high-flow panel airfilter in stock airbox ($80)

- ECU re-tune and time on the dyno to adjust base timing etc. ($500)

that should bring you up to around 100-110rwkw if you're lucky

my advice?

drive and enjoy what you have, and save for something a bit bigger and better later on

in the mean time read as much as you can on SAU because its clear that you don't know too much about how cars work. use the search function of the forum before you ask any questions and you will find more info than you even need. at the end of the day don't be afraid to ask something even if you get bagged for it.

best of luck,

Warren

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
