hey guys just doing a few mods to the car and wondering if i have everything covered.

My first goal i don't have a power figure but will be trying to do all things necissary to support a bigger and/or high flow turbo either way, more boost.

Current Mods:

- Turbo back split dump pimp (BATMBL)

- High Flow Cat (BATMBL)

- 5ZiGen exhaust cat back

- Dr. Drift Boost Controller set at 11-11.5 PSI

- GTS-T Clutch kit (i think it's twin plate but will have to check if it will hold power)

- SAFC II

- Blitz Pod Filter.... UNBOXED

- FMIC

Future mods or current but not tuned, Stage one (the set up for stage two):

- Power FC

- GTR injectors (unsure as which one to get them off or if it matters or if they will flow enough)

- GTR Fuel Pump (again same as above)

- possible box for pod

Stage Two:

- New turbo either highflow or new/bigger

Now what i would like to know what else i need to do to reach ruffly about 280rwkw

have i missed anything in the supporting mods and will a GCG highflow be able to do the job for me.

any advice would be great

yeah i had heard hi-flow wouldn't make that much hence why i mentioned a different turbo maybe the HKS GT-RS not even sure if that will do any better, not sure which way i will go with that yet.

i guess the main reason for the thread was to try and make sure i had the supporting mods covered. will i need anyhting else to support around the 280rwkw mark besides the mods listed. eg Z32 AFM or somethign like a fuel pressure regulator.

i guess people make threads like this to try and get answers from others experience. i may settle for 250rwkw just i think i'll end up wanting more again so was going to run 2 stages of boost.

any ideas or suggestings would be great in helping me inproove my mods list.

currently the car makes bout 187 rwkw i think was the last dyno

i was recommened the GTR ones and though why? so i asked here :P only picked 280 becasue that is what i had heard the max was with the hi-flow and i wanted to try and reach that with correct supporting mods... i recieved a PM from someone that was fully detailed and greatly appreciated had some very good ideas and suggested possibly RB25/30 bottom end. any more ideas greatly appreiciated

I personally wouldnt use the 30 bottom end unless i was looking for big power on a drag car. And i mean big. There is nothing wrong with the RB25 bottom end, especially if u wanted 280kw. IMHO the money could be better spent.

25/30 = pointless waste of money.

Why spend the money/rip the motor out etc when the one you have in there is perfectly fine?

In an ideal world where everyone has lots of money, yeah fair enough. Otherwise unless your motor is dead... why?

good point, i'm still learning about all this stuff. it had just been mentioned to me so i thought i would inquire. so is the advice from here pretty much do the mods listed including high-flow or is there a better option at the moment. what is the next step after 250 odd kw with the hi-flow.

i guess i'm asking to i get the hiflow now tune it for 250 rwkw then use that for a while, then later change more stuff

and if i change more stuff later what am i changing. thanks for the help guys. i'm doing reading where i can to try and learn more so my posts are as n00b

IMO i would say get a FMIC on it or drop the boost to 7psi. Can it handle 11-12psi. some people will say yea but i personally wouldnt. Also box your pod up!

Then search search search. Anywhere, Here, people you know. But the more you know the better it will be. I wouldnt go doing mods not knowing what supporting mods they need.

Its got a front mount on it now. i wanted to get the power fc now because i can get one at a good price before they all dissapear. The mods i'm doing aren't crazy they seem to be pretty standard.

power fc

FMIC

Fuel pump

injectors

AFM

hi-flow turbo probably

i just wanted to make sure that when i take it to get tuned i don't get told that i need a better flowing fuel pump or something like that.

mark sudakov - thanks for the site... this pretty much details what i want to do. i have organised all the mods they mention except for the cams, head gasket, and fly wheel.

hopefully this should see some good power.

I vote for 250rwkw using a GCG or Slide highflow.

I personally wouldnt use the 30 bottom end unless i was looking for big power on a drag car. And i mean big. There is nothing wrong with the RB25 bottom end, especially if u wanted 280kw. IMHO the money could be better spent.

There is much more to the 3ltr than you realise...

280rwkw out of the rb25's bottom end won't see much happeneing until close to 4000rpm. Thats very much border line of being too laggy for the street.

Then consider the boost response/spool in first and second gear.. yay much fun, you have to ring its neck if you want it to get up and go. Drive an rb30det with the same turbo setup and it will blow you away.

For the street go for cubes.

For the track/drags its not all that important.

It is a waste of money unless you are due a rebuild. Same as rebuilding the rb25 when your rb25 is perfectly fine. Waste of money.

550 NISMOs will be fine

new AFM as suggested

Hi-Flo is fine. 250 is a good number and if ur running 180 atm, 250 will be great.

Clutch...get a good one. Jim Berry would be good. Twin plate might be excessive. I have one but I dont drive it often and planed for more upgrades.

ECU - go the emanage Ultimate instead of the SAFC2 - not a bad price from Nengun these days. Better yet the PFC

You may need : new plugs and coil packs depending on their condition.

For thsoe power levels buy the GKTech FMIC from here...works fine and it a good price.

Then look at suspension and tyres for traction....no point having lots of power and u cant get it down. Phase 3!

My SAFC II will be up for sale the day after my pfc goes in lol.

one thing i was worried about with the boche or walbro fuel pump is the noise... how bad is it.

i have a just jap FMIC on the car atm so it should be fine.

is the pfc boost controller worth the money

and i think after the hi-flow i will try for the SK suspension set-up.

so the verdict is i should see about 250 rwkw and after that i should focus on handling... my tyres are good 9' on the back i believe so should be no dramas needs suspension done though

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
