hey i got this r32 gtst coupe, rb20det, completely standard, except carbon fibre clutch.

The mods I wanna do:

Chuck a big front mount intercooler, then a full exhaust system

then I was thinking about chucking a RB25 turbo on

at the moment its boosting roughly 7PSI (slow :) ), but with this set up I reckon I could wind the boost up to about 13PSI, so it will go twice as fast :D

should cost me about $3500 or so give or take a couple hundred

what do you reckon, would this be good, and would it be safe to run 13PSI? OR would a different turbo be better?

oh and obviously add a POD filter.

i agree with simon 32. i boosted 12-13 psi. it becomes guttless, like hitting a brick wall. u really need an ecu that has been tuned to cope with it. but at 10psi the rb25 turbo pulls and pull.

now keep in mind i have a r33, not r32.

anyone else notice that he said it will cost him about $3500... what the!!!

r33 turbo - $350

just jap fmic kit - $400 delivered

no point gettin a tune if you havnt changed the ecu or added a piggyback. o and if your only gettin 7psi...you should you dont have a r33 acuator on it? r32 should run about 10.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
