well it all comes down to money. how much do you want to spend on your next upgrade?

have the cam gear(s?) been set-up on a dyno or are they just sitting at 0?

I would reccomend (providing it's in budget).

buy high flow filter for your airbox (or pods if you prefer that)

buy and fit boost controller and raise boost to 1bar

buy PFC

get PFC and cam gears tuned on the dyno

if you are going to run GT-RS you will need a lot of other gear to go with it and make it work well:

700cc injectors

high volume fuel pump

dump pipes

front pipes

intercooler would be a good idea (but not essential)

new air flow meters (either VG30s, or nismo)

new clutch (either heavy duty single, or multi-plate)

more tuning

cams

and to be honest I don't think GT-RS on a standard 2.6 RB26 will be a very good set-up as you will not be able to push them to their limit on a stock motor. far better to rebuild, and if you are rebuilding I would suggest a 2.8 kit would be wise to go with the GT-RSs.

a far better choice would be GT-SS or GT2530, but even still you will need most of that stuff above to get the most out of them.

what next mod do you think i should save up for in this list.

1. PFC.

2. Airpods.

3. turbos.

4. Cam shafts.

PowerFC hands down.

Airpods - pointless. The stock airbox with a decent panel filter works far better.

Turbos - Not much good without the ECU :closedeyes:

Cams - Same as above!

So ye, choice is easy from that list.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
