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:

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
