hey mate if ur not lookin for atention dont worry about the BOV i reckon go straight for the frount mount and air intake, dipending on what you like with your car i would go and put an exedy race clutch in, proberly the best thing done to my car.(but im setting up for dori)

the high mount set up is worth it if you are eventually lookin at high power mods like bigger turbo set ups and sh*t.

(or you could just sell it and buy a r32)

hahaha :P

Best advice...

Drive it for at least 6 months and get used to the power it already has, in the mean time you can save your pennies for future mods.

Have a look in the 'Forced Induction' section for all your rb25det knowledge, and have a look at what other ppl have modded to get there power gains. :P

Don't buy a clutch if your stock one isn't stuffed/slipping imo.

Is your exhaust full 3" from the turbo back? If not finish that off - and get a front mount intercooler.

Yup turbo back..and the stock clutch is fine : ) does anyone know a good place for front mounts?

Cheers mate...That is a dam sexc car btw

Thanks :P

Also, take infamous-t's advice. Drive it around without too many power gains just yet. Learn exactly what you want to do with this car. Plan the whole setup. That way you get used to handling a more powerful rwd car, and you avoid chopping and changing between mods. Get a shopping list and know everything you want before you buy anything :)

i reckon go mod by mod unless you are planning on full ground up rebuild which your not, i agree with driving and getting used to it and then adding power but def plan it other wise you will end up buying cheap sh*t off here and never needing to use it

cheers

Its best to do a lot of investigation first to figure out what you want. Atm your asking what mod to put in, you say you want a high mount etc. Now these are all valid questions, but you need to know what you want the finished product to be. Obviously things such as a front mount are fairly generic across the range, but there are a lot of little things that can be done to keep your car reliable for its purpose. What that purpose is, you need to figure out.

For instance. People always want to put on a lot of mods and crank up the boost. They forget about important things like brakes, internals of the engine, suspension setup etc etc.

I'd say get the fmic for sure. But before you get a high mount manifold, do some investigation and see what you want out of this car. Then you can plan exaclty what you need, and make sure your car is still reliable and capable of handling the extra power.

Hope that helps. SAU is very useful and full of information. Use the search feature and read a lot. Ask questions of people who know what they are talking about.

rofl. Learn how to drive the car. Then mod it. Too many people have totaled their cars within a short time of owning it.

P/s: As R33 GTS said, know what you want to do with the car. Then work your way from there, also understand something called $$ constraints, and possible $$ constraints in the future. 1 very important "mod" ... full comp insurance. :P

So I assume you were an awesome driver capable of anything as soon as you got your lisence? Don't think so.

nickr33turb is still on his P's, so he's still a young driver. Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not saying cause you're on your P's, you're a bad driver. Just inexperienced. I don't care how good a driving instructor is. Nothing beats experience when it comes to being in control. The more power you have, the finer the line becomes between in control and potentially out of control. I've had my license for a fair few years now, but I still know I've got more to learn. Want to do some advanced driving courses etc.

Get used to the power and rear wheel drive and the feel of boost. Then make upgrades as you go, with a final plan in mind.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
