R32 performance mods

[5 litre eater]

Hey all,

I'm about to buy an r32 gts-t, and i would like some advice on what to do... I will have about 2 grand to tinker with, and the car already has a cat back zaust, boost gauge/controler, and a few little bits Dr_Drift is throwing in with it.

If anyone can give me a few ideas on what to do, it would be great.

Cheers. Matt.

ok well heres my 2 cents worth.

HI flow the stock turbo. Big front mount. 1.1bar boost. Full exhaust.

maxing out most things by now , injectors , afm but u should be close to 300hp at tread =12's.

Go and get the current Zoom (issue 67, I think). They've got an article on upgrades to the RB20DET, in 3 steps up to 280+ rwkw.

Went for a spin in a Cefiro with RB20DET, FMIC, full exhaust, pod and HKS 2530, boost controller and 1.2 bar - put down 230rwkw. It was a drift car and had heaps of midrange. Oh, he also tweaked the restirictor to the fuel pressure reg to get slightly higher fuel press, but that was it. The car only weighed 1240kg, but if felt like it had alot more power than it was putting down. It is featured in the latest HPI - some nice photos of it going sideways.

I know that this is a bit more than 2k, but if you already have the exhaust, go FMIC and a bleeder. Then when the funds allow get a 2530 - you wont be dissapointed.

Thanks for that steve... I would love a 2530 one day, but gimme a little time! If anyone has one for sale around the $500 mark, let me know!!! (I'm optomistic...)

But the FMIC will go in. I think it already has a bleeder/control in it, so is there something else? realisticly, i will have about 800 left from that 2k, so what should i do? Get the fuel systems upgraded? Eg, bigger fuel pump, injectors, etc?

Or should i focus on a little more handling? Get adjustable shocks?

Thanks for the advice lads and lass's.

If you dont have already, suspension is a good choice. Have seen bilstiens with springs 2nd hand for $6-700 - then perhaps some pineapples.

[Cubes]

If your AF's are good leave the fuel pump until you need it as it will richen everything up and cause you to use more fuel not to mention loose around 10-15rwkw.

So the HKS 2530 is the turbo of choice on the RB20's? Anyone ever use a T3 Super60? What Exhaust AR is the best for instant spool take off without choking up the top end? Is .63 too big?
