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

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

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
