Hey guys i've got a R32, its pretty well stock at the moment, looking to spend some money on it to get it to a pretty quick street car, its a daily driver so its got to be drivable.

The car currently has:

K&N pod filter

Greddy turbo timer

Autogage monster tacho with shift light

Autometer cobalt series boost gauge

Exedy heavy duty clutch

I've collected a list of items and their prices that i would like to buy for the car, them me what you think of the brands their prices and any different options that may be better and/or cheaper.

Microtech LT12S $1,495.00

Microtech 4-line hand controller $195.00

Turbosmart Blow-off Valve Type-3 Supersonic $399.00

Turbosmart Street-Gate - 38mm Wastegate $550.00

Garrett TO4E Turbo 600hp $1,430.00

He has a GTS4, so just use the RB25... no gearbox.

Although you'd be VERY hard pressed to get an RB25 + box for 2k in any sort of decent condition.

The boxes alone are $1300-$1500... a running RB25 wont sell for $500, closer to 1-1.5k IMO with loom etc etc.

Im also the vote for using a hi-flow or something that bolts onto the stock manifold.

Ext gates/old design garret turbos are not what you need to be playing around with when there is stuff that does the same job, and better

if you find a rb25 + gb for 2k it must have like 300xxx k's on it :D. The gearboxes alone are ~1500min!

i would go with what mafia has said.

you would looking around 1750 for a gcg highflow

i wouldn't bother going for an engine swap for 250rwkw

engine swap you would also have to factor in the install cost (and a realistically priced engine)which adds up

I agree with your computer. I don't agree with your simple idea's.

Why do you think that your huge power will be supported by standard injectors and fuel pump? Is it because you didn't think about this at all?

Why not start off with a full exhaust including dump pipe. A cheaper manifold, if you must change at all. A hi-flow turbo. A cheaper intercooler. Then the ECU. Then tune it up, see how the injectors go, see how the fuel pump goes. Be prepared to change them. Why do you need a hand controller? Are you a tuning guru? If its because your tuner doesn't have a controller for microtech, I'd say they'd be more comfortable with a different computer, go with that computer. If your tuner is unknown to you at this point, I wouldn't be thinking about a computer until you do know who will tune the car.

Its all well and good to get the good stuff, but you seem to have missed alot of basics.

School holidays are almost over anyway...

If I've insulted you unfairly, then sorry, my real advice is:

go through the dyno results for your engine and see what others have done and see if you would be happy with those sort of setup's.

No not insulted mate, thanks for the tips.

I was just surfing the net looking at bits and pieces thats how the list came about, injectors is something i didnt think about. Make sense though

Let me ask you two simple questions...

what sort of power are you aiming for?

and how much do you have to spend?

Mate i dont have a set power figure in mind, just want it to be faster that what it is now

$10,000 is what i thinking about spending, what do you think of this budget and what would you spend it on?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
