Hi guys, I've been reading around the forums & used the search function a couple of times but there are still a few things I can't seem to find.

I'm fairly new to turbo modifications, having recently upgraded from a n/a R33 & I was just wondering if I'm heading in the right direction with my modification plans. I am a firm believer in doing things right the 1st time around.

My car is a daily driver, so I'm not chasing a huge power figure, just improving the performance of my car without sacrificing drivability as I'm getting bored of the stock power & I would like to start taking it out on the occasional track day :P

* I already have:

- Turbosmart dual stage manual boost controller recieved as a x-mas pressie (not installed yet)

- Apexi Power FC for the r34 gtt (not installed yet)

- HKS mushroom pod filter with factory snorkel & custom intake box (on the car when I bought it)

- Plumb back BOV (on the car when I bought it)

* I am planning:

- 3" stainless exhaust with split dump pipe

- FMIC

- Fuel pump

- Coilover suspension (later on)

I'll be keeping the stock turbo, what would be the highest psi I could run before pushing the limits of the stock R34 turbo?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions if there are any aspects of mods I might have overlooked.

also any suggestions on what you use & recommend

Couple of good threads

Have a read of the Forced Induction sticky thread :(

More stuff in there to help ya out also

Awesome guys! Thanks for the helpful responses. :O

Skyline couple: It's definitely not a stock airbox that I have as I know what it looks like. It's got the factory snorkel, but the box is made of sheet metal or aluminium with some foamy stuff on the inside to shield the pod. Was on the car when I bought it.

Cheers everyone

    • Um.... This is not easy. I will have a fiddle with it, but make no promises. I think, given the explicit resistances vs temperature, and your ECU measured voltages, it should be possible to match them up. I will do that by assuming a 5V supply from ECU to sensor, find out how much current would have to flow to produce that voltage, then use that current as a .... nah f**k. That won't work. The supply voltage is fixed, but there's nothing to say that the ECU regulates the current too. Um... I dunno. I guess there's a voltage divider setup in the ECU. As in, there's another resistance between the ECU's sense terminal and ground. That way, as the sensor resistance changes, that's how they get a floating voltage that varies with the temperature, without having to control the current. Give me a minute or 3.
    • *that* is a question for chatgpt (or someone that understands maths....but I'd try chatty). Drop them the table and ask for the formula
    • Alright. Exhaust has been looked at, and booked in 'soon'. I'm not 100% convinced it's going to be as good as possible but I'm going to go with it anyway. If I get a reasonable thing that works for 10 years I mean that's twice as long as I've lived with the current one. I have a more pressing issue. I have fixed my MPVI3 (by buying a new one). Excellently, one can wire in analog 0-5v inputs to the ECU itself. I had wideband already via Serial so I also wired it in via the direct input. The idea being I can use the standalone logging without a laptop and have Wideband data in it. The other wire I thought I'd use oil temp. This is where I've gone crazy. HPTuners requires you to implement a formula so you know how much volts = how much temp. This seems relatively simple to me. However I cannot find the scale for this anywhere on the internet, nor decipher how to figure it out without removing the sensor from the car. All I know is that voltage actually goes up as temperature goes down. I am using the actual gauge, so I can see what the temp is. The signal wire has been branched off into the MPVI3. EXAMPLE: 2.68v = 58C 2.7 = 57C 2.74v = 56C 2.8V = 54C 3.06V = 49C 3.18V = 47C 3.37V = 43C I think the gauge is 50-150C. It may be more. It may be less, because I can't find it for the love of f**k. It appears all the information about the gauges I have has been scoured from the internet, but the sender is VDO 320.021 I believe the resistance chart is this How the f**k do I convert this to a voltage? Once I have a voltage... I then have to perform this transform of said voltage to show it in the scanner: https://www.hptuners.com/help/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm @GTSBoy you're probably my only hope here TEST YOUR MIGHT
    • Here’s the updated and installed muse replica nismo ones … very happy with the outcome. Eventhough I painted my whole rear end due to my rich idle lol. 
    • Hmm. I had a good look (w/o searching, because I'm not logging in) and couldn't see it either. I distinctly recall the thread, not many weeks ago. It must have been removed or perhaps put into the back section. If it was in Off Topic you should at least have been able to search it up. So if I'm not hallucinating, it is fairly decently removed.
