I Want More Power...

[joeleo87]

well the title tells it all. i just want more power...

will i feel like this forever?

please help lol.

well, Going by your mod list in your sig, Id wind 14 psi into it and Remap the ECU.

Then you start getting into aftermarket turbo/injectors/afm's, also GBox problems.

What Braking/suspension setup are you running?

And yes. This will ALWAYS happen./

stock brake set up. i have coil over suspension.

if my boost sits on 14 wont it crack after like 2 days of driving?

damn it, i hate this feeling lol.

[gtrkiet]

itll always happen untill u crash, lose ur license or feel how 300kz feels like or buy a motor bike if ur power hungry ahahha

[R31 drift pig]

14psi Shouldnt let go on a 20. And will be enough to keep you amused for a while.

As said, once you want more than that, starts costing a lot more cash.

Stock brake setup will be fine with good pads/fluid.

Running almost Identical setup, but with SARD fuel reg to jack a bit more fuel in.

[joeleo87]

lame. 300 would b nice....

it was a toss up between fuel pump and remap for my next mod.

fuel pump before remap. You running boost controller? 10psi sounds like RB20 wastegate...

hehehe i lost my liscence then bought a gtr the boost bug has very powerful toxins... once your bitten you will just keep modding!! then take it to the track for all ur fun!!!

good luck joleo by the sounds of it yes you will feel like this for a long time!! maybe it will stop once your over the hill maybe not

If you never feel more than mildly concerned for your safety while exercising your car (at the track, of course), then what you need is a Litre superbike so you can truly fear for your life

[joeleo87]

yeh its the wastegate action atm, i have a greddy B spec II electronic boost controller (that was a mouthful just to type lol) on layby so in the next few weeks i should have it

they should have a waring sticker on skylines...

*WARNING - You will always be power hungry if you buy this car!*

[R31 drift pig]

LOL... it's so true. Im already planning my next round of mods once I get the whore painted and driving for a while. (HKS 2535, External Gate, RB25 Box, Twin plate etc.)

Get a Walbro (GENUINE) pump, SARD fuel reg, Wind 14 PSI into it and remap to suit.

Exact setup I have in my car. Have Boostworx Daughterboard in the ECU, just need to tune it. (Once again, waiting to paint).

What's she making on 10psi? Mines making 180 odd on 8psi (Boostworx dyno) Shaun said to expect to see it crack 200 on 14.5psi.

Sounds like you already have a decent enough setup!

I must be odd, I have fairly minor mods and thats enough for me. Instead of wanting more power, I want another skyline! infact one of the skyline models im considering to get has less power then my current skyline

[typevu]

I know how you feel! I'm flat broke and still looking around to grab more mods as soon as I can

[R31 drift pig]

lol... Im not chasing more power now, Prolly gonna drive the car for 6-12 months and get used to / Refine the setup (Car hasnt been drifted yet) then Ill be upping the power to around 250 - 260 KW's at the wheels.

RB25 box/twin plate/single piece tailshaft will be simply for reliability.

And yes, it's gonna cost me a mint.

[fab34]

hey fellas wat power should i be able to get with this mods i got

full 3" exaust

front mont intercooler

lsd

exedy 3 puk clutch

greedy pro spec 2 boost controller

hks fuel cut defender

the last 3 items r on they way and should be here this week just wondering how much boost i could run with my factory turbo and the power figures i might get

[R31 drift pig]

on R34?

Id expect to see high 190's -low 200's with that on 13 psi or so.

Why go the FCD out of curiosity?

[fab34]

it was only 50 dollers

[R31 drift pig]

Id be looking at getting a fuel pump too.

Would rather see a Remap over a FCD, but I spose it can be tuned with some reliability....

[fab34]

yea illl get all that wen i get a bit more cash just hard to get cars tuned in alice theres only one dyno but the bloke that runs it has blown 8 cars up cause he dont no wat his doing his a motorbike machanic so got to send car away for tuning

Edited February 4, 2008 by fab34

ah k. You will need a FCD tuned through, need to set the 'cut' at the right point.

Boostworx remaps are only $550 inc. labour, and Im sure a majority of the SA people use Shaun to tune, and can vouch for how good he is.

And you get all those roads from NT to SA...
