After alot of looking around and researching ive decided to take the plunge and burn some cash. Im just looking for some opinions about this list and wether i should add some more too it or if it looks like the right way to go. My car is already fitted with tein suspension and a turbo back exhaust.

Nismo 555cc injectors $860

greddy plenum $700

bosch 044 fuel pump $260

nismo adjustable fuel regulator $175

greddy m-spec cooler $630

hks ssqv BOV $300

air filter $100

Turbosmart External Wastegate $499

apexi pfc $1,500

z32afm $200

garrett gt30r $1,900

custom high mount manifold ??????

custom piping(cooler, intake) ?????

total $7124

Also Do these prices look right and how much would i be looking at for the custom parts. And what should i be looking at next?

Cheers Tim

imo dont get the greddy plenum and in turn that will alleviate needing cooler piping. just buy a cooler kit with piping and get an adj cam gear installed. and the adj fpr may not be needed either. set aside a few $$$ for tuning.

other than that it looks like a good list.

Dont forget if you go a greddy plenum factor in a different throttle body or a greddy adaptor plate for the stock throttle body. As said above go a Tomei/Nismo pump and ditch the bosch pump and the fuel pressure regulator. The Tomei/Nismo pump is very easy to install and you can't really mess it up like you can installing a bosch pump. Not saying they are bad pumps, just for the extra bit of money its better to go the Tomei/Nismo.

very nice man. i have pretty much same setup. only things i can really reccommend is getting a surge tank fitted.

also it might be an idea to purchase a cheapie engine that has shit itself, so u can fit this shit to it, and still drive your car. and while the engine is out u can fit forgies and shit. for full machining and install i was quoted at $6k. which aint too bad.

thats just a thought if u are chasing a fair bit of power. i bring it up because im heading down that road now :banana:

Thanks for the imput i've had another look around and im thinking that the tomei fp might be the way to go as there seems to be alot more work putting the bosch in. What sort of a clutch should i be looking at installing if do end up running this setup and is there anything else that i should consider doing before i go through with this.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
