im looking at making 300 - 350rwkw and was wondering wot mods will be required to get to that power: the car has a rebuilt motor and is yet to be dynoed or tuned.. as Mines ECU cant be tuned so looking at perhaps getting it chipped/tuned by dr drift etc or pfc

turbo option is either the R43 N1 or 2530 as i have read both are similar and good performers

front/dump pipes along with high flow cat - any brand/size recommendations

GReddy cam gears are fitted but yet to be adjusted so should provide more horses

factory intercooler - is this capable or needs to be upgraded?

fuel pump/rail/regulator - needing upgrade? wot sort of power can they handle?

injectors - sard or nismo items perhaps as im assuming std injectors wont cut it

airflow meter - twin z32 - i read somewhere that rb26 afm's are smaller than rb20 as it uses twin afm so replacing stock items with two rb20 afm would be an upgrade??

any other suggestions or recommendation will be greatly appreciated

You will defenitly need a larger Frount Mount Intercooler and 3" pipes from the turbo back.

Also, Injectors and Fuel pump, and probably the turbos will have to be upgraded but not sure which ones...

Dont know if this will get you over 300rwkw though....

Go for the power fc, tried and proven to be more than ample for the job, and you will get the best results from it over a tuned/chipped ecu.

N1's should see 300 to 350awkw and a bit over, 25/30 will make more like 350 up to 380awkw and over..

Factory cooler will be " ok " but not ideal, better intercooler will see better performance..

Cam gears are good!

Stock fuel rail is fine, bosch 044 fuel pump and nismo reg should be perfect

Injectors will need an upgrade.. 550cc ~ 600cc should be ideal, but can go bigger if you want more head room.

Front pipes and dump pipes will reduce backpressure and will increase power as well as quicker turbo spool..

Go the z32's over the rb20's

Do you have a budget in mind and there's alot of $$'s worth of mods in there..

Ye, is it 300 or 350?

Because 34N1's are 300-320 range, 2530's are 350-400 range.

You need to decide which you want.

And what is the budget?

1) Stock I/C will be quite fine, no problem

2) I wouldnt use an FPR/rail. The stock gear is quite fine also

Stock pump might well be ok, depend on turbo choice again

3) Nismo AFM's are what you want, not Z32's.

4) Injectors - will depend on your turbo choice

5) Cam gears, a definate.

So as you can see, it depends on your turbo choice and then the following budget.

Personally, i would have a PowerFC installed and take a trip to Racepace.

How deep are your pockets ?As asked .And do you know the supporting mods you will need?

So far you have listed the mods and no supporting mods.

But before you start mods........change your oil pump,water pump,timing belt ,bearings and bolts.

Make sure your suspension and brakes are good to handle the power too.

Hope I have help.

Cheers

as he said

as he said except i'd prolly do pump anyway.. only 230 for a bosch 040 which goes in with minimal fuss

4) Injectors - will depend on your turbo choice5) Cam gears, a definate.

as he said.. i'd prolly wanna throw in some poncams aswell tho if goin 2530's

Personally, i would have a PowerFC installed

definately fc like he said

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
