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.

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
