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

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
