Leave the catback on and change the dump pipe to a larger one, 3" pipe should be fine.

Install a FMIC but nothing too big other wise you can loose power.

Upgrade ECU

Install a boost controller to run a few PSI higher but if ya wanna run HIGH boost you will have to upgrade internals.

Another thing is lightweigh the flywheel. No power gain but you can take off quicker.

BTW if ya wanna get anal about cooling, after installing your FMIC you can install water jets to spary onto the intercooler once the car hits boost to soak out the heat on the FMIC. Mind you topping up water will be frequent. LOL!

OR install a Supercharger for low down revs / and turbos take over when boost kicks in. = Thats a BIG job and mainly for race/High performance applications and it has been done before in Japan. R32 GTR Supercharger Twin Turbo.

i had a 600x300x76 size intercooler on my 32 and didn't have to cut the reo up, just had to skim a fraction off the frontbar itself at the bottom.

k what if i don't get a front mount will that restrict a lot of power??? what if i upgrade my side mount is that the same?? cause front mount cops will defect me wont they??

You still can get a FMIC but make sure you don't loose any boost presure. If ya front mount is too big presuer loss can happen and end up loosing power while running standard boost.

600 X 300 X 75, if this size intercooler is still OK for standard boost then go for it, if not upgrade the SMIC.

ummm, how can you loose boost pressue from a fmic? the wastegate is controlled by pressure so if you have less pressure the wastegate won't be open so the turbo will spool up more until it gets to that pressure.

the only way to 'lose pressure' is if you have a very restrictive cooler and have the wastegate gets its pressure reading from before the cooler and have your gauge after the cooler. this will make it so the turbo is still running at normal pressure, but due to the restriction in the cooler the engine isn't getting as much air.

+1 for 600 x 300 x 75.

+1 for front pipe, etc.

I wouldn't worry about water cooling your intercooler unless you live in the Gobi desert. My FMIC is mostly cold to the touch even on hot days. But like (00)Skyline(00) said if you wanna be anal it's an option.

the majority of intercoolers need a hole cut under the battery tray to pass the piping through.

This is illegal and (according to law) affects the structural integrity of the car, if police find the hole, it will be a costly to fix. (lets hope you dont live around Knox area :banana: )

Companies such as Blitz, ARC etc produce return feed intercooler's which use the same piping holes as your standard SMIC, so all legal :dry: Expect to pay $800+ for these branded intercoolers.

Or you can either buy a R34 SMIC customized to r32 or find a ARC SMIC.

I have a r34 smic customized for r32 for sale, pm sent if interested :spam:

Cheers

ok iam gonna buy my exhaust soon from gktech so i need

a dump pipe+front pipe+high flow cat

or

dump pipe+front pipe+ de-cat pipe

?????

get a single chamber front/dump pipe combo.. saves having an extra gasket for nothing.

i wouldn't advise getting a decat pipe unless you're game.. cops don't like them too much :thumbsup:

my opinion, go with a highflow cat. if you are interested in getting a decat pipe pm me.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
