Okay so this is probably a pretty common topic but I'm at a loss for where to go next with my mods so I'll start with the current list:

S1 R33 GTST

TD06 turbo

3inch turbo back

FMIC

Profec EBC

SSQ BOV

Turbo timer

Tien/Bilstein springs/shocks

OS Giken twin plate

I was thinking my next step should obviously be ECU upgrade then I thought I could probably use a box for my pod filter and some cold air but then I got to thinking that fuel upgrades might be more important first. I'm not really bothered (don't care) about asthetics at this stage and this is my first serious performance car so I don't want to pour a huge ammount of money into something I'll probably sell in a year or two.

Between now and the next big step I have a few small things planned like a catch can and HICAS lock bar, possibly an oil cooler too.

So basically my question is what's the most important thing for me to get into next? The car is just a street car and I'm only chasing a reliable 300-350hp atw but I'm hoping to see some track time and I do go to the drags a bit.

With that set up and ECU should get you in the mid 300's. Just be careful as stock internals don't take much more than that for too long, 350 as you say is good and safe. Also your gearbox would be the next weak link. They would be next major mods. Small mods would be as you say, cold air intake, catch can etc. With the upgrade of ECU you can then upgrade injectors etc too.

He clearly needs neons and a huge drift wing :nyaanyaa:

I'd be doing injectors, ECU and fuel pump all at the same time and getting a final tune.

You can't up the boost without more fuel, the standard ECU won't support larger injectors, and the fuel pump won't flow enough for the added power. Pretty big outlay but you'll finally get to crank the TD06 up to max.

hold your foot flat and see what goes first, pistons or rods, we can all place bets.. im sure there is alot of guys with alot less then 350 who's engines have gone bang, guess it depends how u drive and whos going to build it as to how long your rebuild will last, and also how heavy your wallet is....

The rods seem to be the most common weak point much over 350. Drive quiet and it will be fine over that but what is the point in that?

ECU, some will recommend PFC, if you wanna ditch the AFM etc go for a Wolf 3D.

what type of td06 are you using? (td06-20g or td06-25g and what size rear housing 8,10 or 12cm?)

I would go with the following mods:

ECU (Apexi PFC - you should be able to find a second hand one very easy, as they no longer make them)

Fuel Pump (tomie,nismo etc etc, they are all bolton and will supply you with enough fuel)

Injectors (NISMO 550cc or 740cc; because you have an rb25 get nismo as they are direct bolton, unlike sard injectors)

AFM (z23 afm + z23 afm plug)

go get a tune and depending what type of td06 you have you should be in the 300rwhp range.

Reliable depends on your tune, im running 337rwhp @ 16psi with 11:1 AFR (rich tune) (100,000km) my car see alot of limiter smashing and bashing, abuses from antilag and i do like to do abit of track work (drag,mc and drift when i can get time) AND i havn't had a problem yet

(my engine is unopen stock rb25det)

good luck

oh and if you need some help finding a second hand pfc, i can source you one

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
