What Mods To Do To The R32

[PWND]

Don't really have any experience with rb20 engines, and haven't had time to read up on them, but figured I may as well ask on here.

Basically I have a reasonably fresh engine in the r32, with 35odd thousand k's since the rebuild. Hybrid front mount, 3 inch exhaust from turbo back, pod filter, high flowed steel wheel turbo of a r33, as well as some injectors sitting around. Not quite happy with the performance of the thing, as it is noticeably slower in the straight than my old r33. Handles a lot better, but don't have the grunt yet.

Now I was wondering whether it is worth while getting a computer, adjustable cam gears and a fuel pump for it, and winding the boost up, or would I be better off just slotting a rb25 in there. A pfc for the rb20 is 1.5k or so, plus instal and tuning, plus the fuel pump, so for similar money, i could have an low k rb25 to slot in there, and I would still be able to use the exhaust, turbo, fmic and pod and probably get a few more rwkw.

Any help and info would be appreciated.

Cheers

You will get a faster responce in the FIP area of the forums...

Might I also suggest checking out the sticky at the top of the FIP area (Rb20 thread) cause it has heaps of valid info...

RB25 in an R32 is probablly best bang for buck when you add it all up...

Hey man

You should get a fuel pump, maybe a WALBRO/BOSCH something like that off the forums if your not looking at spending a lot of $$ and go for a REMAP of the standard ECU.

Not sure who does REMAPS up there in Brisbane but a tune will make all the difference.

With the high flow R33 turbo, you should be able to safely crack the 200rwkw mark depending on the size of the turbo and tune etc

Cost of REMAP roughly $500 (depending) + fuel pump $250. If $750 see's you 200rwkw, I wouldn't be complaining!

That should keep you happy for a while
