Nothing wrong with a PFC at all, it was just an example.

Not sure where you get your info from - a stock clutch will not handle 300rwkw.

Brakes wont perform that well (in my eyes)

Not a chance in the world.

LOL Ash. Was just about to reply that in regards to the stock clutch. Once at 200+ rwkw, your stock clutch will be slipping like mad. Be it 300 rwkw.

Power FC will probably be the most value for money aftermarket ECU to be installed into your car. At 300rwkw, i'll choose the PFC over a remapped ECU for sure.

im sure the budget is bit blown for the brakes side of things, decent set of slotted and good pads ebc red or better out there will set up at bout 1100 MAX unless your doing track work maybe 2g is not under estimated, oh the dif it can handle that power and been proven too, ill agree with the 8g rebuild as an average depending what parts and who you get it done by 15g is around the usual expectancy price to be looking at, not including all the little things that happen along the way.

Could agree more with do it slowly, and work your way up to it, oh and anything on or over 300rwkws is a bit overkill for the street, im sitting now on 265 rwkw and its plenty to live with and be happy with. oh runnining total so far is 11.5g mind you turbo setup alone was just short of 3.5 and rebuild short of 6 so gives you an idea

Cheers

I've got stock brakes & diff too as well, no dramas at all. Do you mean 15k in regards to everything, because as I said my engine (block) cost me 7k?

heheh as soon as I did my fmic and full exhaust my standard clutch went!!

did I have over 300rwkw then? :D

No but you probably enjoyed the bit of extra power to much lol :P

I bought my Gts-t not long ago, it's making 195kw@wheels, I found it's pretty hard to handle in the wet, I had a FTO before, quite similar situation as you, move from a FWD to a RWD, believe me 200rwkw is enough for you to have fun...

Ok well maybe i am underestimating how much power 300 kw really is. so what i was thinking is that i would start with and intercooler, ecu, boost controller and maybe a bigger turbo. would u suggest maybe putting in bigger injectors at this point in time or would stock ones do for a while until i get use to more juice. :thumbsup: Then start to work my way up to 250 depending on what i wanna do and my budget of course.

I had 270rwkw for a while, was plenty for street.

I then went over 350rwkw.... the car basically became useless :P

start with full zorst, boost cont, FMIC, pod/panel, and piggyback fuel controller or new computer...

new turbo later

I havent had a proper look under the car but when u mentioned zorst your talking about exhaust right. well ive got a 3" cat back with an 5" tip. Now i dont know about off the turbo and to the cat but im guesing it would all be 3". but what would u suggest????

Mate..

TRUST ME!

I went from a 1.6L Pulsar to an NA 2.5L.. pushing about 105kw at the wheels. Its an r32 GTS4 weighing ~1400kg.. thats more than ur GTST

the difference in that jump is significant!.. learn to use and abuse the power first!.. Learn how and when the engine works best.. and learn how to minipulate the car to extract the most out of the engine! Learn that, and you'll see how quick your car can be!

It takes a while, and yes it more boring than just automatically having 300kw. But once you learn it, you will be able to minipulate the car in a whole new way and you'll be surprised the diffrence once you know this information.

Hit up a track day, skid pan, drift day. Learn where your power band is, learn how to transfer the weight around, learn how to extract the full potential out of the engine.. then.. and only then.. should you think about power increase mate..

300kw is a shit load of power!.. as said before.. give it a year.. or at least 6 months if your motivated to LEARN (not drive like a maniac and speed!).. then think about 220kw - 250kw.. modify all aspects of the car. Responce, brakes, suspention, cooling.. make the car "feel" better.. the.. as before.. learn the car.. better your skills so on.. so forth.. then go for 300kw..

thats just my 2c

lol an rb25de is nothing to brag about, harden up mate

lol.. there you go.. congrats, you understood NOTHING of what I said..

Its got NOTHING to do with the car you drive.. I know blokes that drive Mazda 2's that are quicker than hardcore 86's and workes 350's through thr twisties..

Power has next to NOTHING to do with drive skill

The main point for what he said is the progressive torque and power increase, learn it get use to it then progress higher. The smart way. that way the time he gets there he will not only have the nessessary skills but the nessessary supporting safety ie suspension and brakes when he gets there... i think i got it right

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
