Is an after market chip really that good of a bang for your buck mod on a resonabley stock car ? Cause I'm looking at getting a FMIC in the very near future (as well as getting my brakes done, machined and new pads) and then upping the boost a bit with a bleed valve. Then hopefully getting the dump pipe/front pipe done with a 3 1/4|1/2 depending on how much moneys left over.

The 32 ECU's are remapable (to a certain degree) aren't they ? Cause I read in Zoom a while ago, with a fuel pump, boost valve (to 14 psi though) and a remap they got 160rwkw on a stock 32gts-t.

Do you think a PFC for $2000 would be the best dollars spent though ? Currently all i've got as far as power performance is a catback zorst. Getting a bleeder shortly though.

I'm doing work on ecu's atm on r32's using an s-afc as well I need some dyno time to see how it goes the best bang for your buck mod you could do is to bolt the turbo from a vg 30 or an rb25 and you will make 170 rwkw hp at least at around 10-12 psi but I'd get a bigger fuel pump as well and a bigger fmic you don't need to spend 2k on an fmic if you only going to chase 170-180 rwkw you just need something bigger than what you have.

a s/hand one will do.

Well I'm looking at getting a FMIC at the minute, i'm looking at getting a decent sized cooler as i'm looking at around 200rwkw in the future. So I don't want to have to do it again. I will be looking at getting a VG30 turbo in the next round of semi/major mods. Probably with a fuel pump in between.

bump that - get a T04, thats what i am probably gunna do. :P

I am getting my S-AFC soon too, can't wait!! :P

Then i will tune for 12psi and i should be getting ~180rwkw (I am gettin 162rwkw now on 9psi with no S-AFC).

and

NOZILR!!

OK guys - that's really good feedback -

i can see merit in FMIC and boost contoller straight up. Gives colder (more dense) air and more boost (without detination right ??) Then ECU 'cause factory one is Shiet. I wanna know what dump pipe is, and what is the benefit ?? Then, bigger turbo (makes sense - more O2) After that you need more fuel right - ECU can only do so much so injectors need to be bigger right ??

Has anyone done a short shifter mod ?? Don't know how much benefit on the 1/4 it would be, but sounds like FUN.

PRANK - is there a local shop to Nth Beaches ??? Where do you go ??

OH - BTW - U F'd up my compliance papers to Canberra - sent copies instead of originals - LET IT BE KNOWN -they only accept originals - Have to make up the StfUp by lot of Canberra brown nosing. Hopefull I will have BEAST on the road by late AUG.

Cheers All.

i like ndr's home-made catch can haha..

No sorry Ryan,,,A catch tank is just a remote oil breather tank that stops oil mist from re-entering the inlet side of things.......Nothing to to do with a Bov at all..........

Dump Pipe is the first part of the exhaust off the turbo - they make a big difference when you get an after market one.. i have a 3 1/4" dump pipe (HPC coated - this lowers the heat emmitted from the dump pipe and keeps engine bay temps down..)

There are some shops, but i take mine to my mate in Castle Hill - Hills Motorsports, he has done everything to my car so far and knows his ****, a few people from the boards take to him.

Hopefully, I can fix before the car arrives - Will be moving heaven and earth to make it happen -

I work in Castle Hill - So maybe Hills is the go - Have been looking at UAS, but yeah,,,,

Cheers dude,

So dump pipe is like a BIG exhaust manifold ??? Like headers ??? Am i on the right track ??? Lets gas out quicker than standard ???/

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      *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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      PAT / Premier Auto Trade parts?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
