performance upgrade questions

Hi guys,

I'm in the middle of deciding how to upgrade my gtst's performance, and number of options have come up over the last few months...currently i am chasing a fmic before anything else happens, but after that, i dunno wut i could do to the car and would like a few ideas.

right now the car has a hi-flowed T03/T04 hybrid turbo, complete turbo back exhaust, pod filter, stock cooler, S-AFC, EVC 3 boost controller.

It managed to make 200rwkw at 15psi of boost after tuning the S-AFC (comes to abt 270rwhp).

Could anyone gimme an idea of wut sort of power this car could make once a fmic is installed? The car would probably be running at 10psi most of the time, or maybe even stock...I just want to know wut sorta power I would be making. If it feels sufficient, I may call it quits as far as performance goes, and concentrate on the suspension and brakes like a good boy.

Hypothetically, a budget of around 4k-5k would be do-able after the fmic is installed...would take a while, but do-able...would like to know wut could be done with this money.

I have more in-depth questions, but will post them once opinions have been made regarding these questions first.

Please feel free to talk at length, then everyone can benefit from the know-how

thanks,

Zak

Hi Nrage33, I would suggest a GTR fuel pump as the next mod as you are getting close to the limit of the GTST fuel pump. Then a standard R32/33 GTR intercooler (good up to 300 rwkw) usually gives a 20 rwkw increase over a standard R32/33 GTST intercooler. I would then suggest an adjustable exhaust camshaft pulley. That should give you 230 to 240 rwkw which is pretty close to what the standard internals will handle.

Hope that helps

sydneykid,

thanks for the info...what does an adjustable exhaust camshaft pulley do anyway?

I'll definitely look into the fuel pump tho, I can feel these current fuel pumps I have are near their end...

If i wanted to reinforce the internals, what exactly would I need to do?

2.5 lit should be fine depends on how much power you are after..and if you are going over 240rwkw then probably some mild internal work...but after that you can push it even more depeneds on how much money it comes too in the end...remember tuning and dyno time as an extra cost..

This is what happens when you are making 240rwkw with an RB25 and then slap a RB30E bottom end in there.

Due to the head flow charastics the final power is still roughly the same.

I guess the saying still applies.

There's no replacement for displacement. :burnout:

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
