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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
