Hi guys thinking of getting turbo timer and air filter for my R34, what do ya think suit my GTT(stock)? For air filter, currently using HKS, havent really try out anything else, so kinda confused

Money doesnt really matter, been saving for this :D ...

I narrowed down my turbo timer choices to

HKS - Turbo timer type 0 and type 1

Blitz - Dual Turbo Timer - DCIV

Greddy - Full Auto Timer

and for air filter

Blitz sonic power

Blitz SUS

HKS super power

Apexi power

All of them must have their own unique features rite?

Have ur say...

Cheers

Stick with your HKS air filter, I got one and it works fine.

I have a Blitz copy turbo timer and it probley does the same thing as the real Blitz one maybe minus a feature. As long as its reliable and allows your car to idle at the set time and able to lock your car while it idling and switch off and keep the car locked up.

Blitz SUS, looks the best if you've got a polished engine bay i reckon.

The choice of filter you buy can make a difference to the way your engine bay looks, which then would fall under the heading of cosmetics and styling...............

Outright Winner of the

Ultimate Air Filter Shoot Out

1st in Flow - A huge 601.2 CFM!

3A Racing out - gunned Apexi, K&N, HKS, Trust & AEM

$40 filter + $20 adapter ~~

Contact http://www.3aracing.com.au/ for price.

I have the Apexi pen style timer, it's good and not expensive. They have them on Nengun.com so check it out.

I had an HKS pod filter, was good, but my tuner chucked it and put on the Apexi filter. Reasoning is the HKS pod (or any foam filter) needs to be oiled. The oil gets into the intake system and fouls the AFM element, meaning the meter will need to be cleaned more often.

So don't get an 'oiled' filter.

+ 1 for 3a racing pod

i second this..... they are a cheepo but flow and filtration is much better than the over priced jap "brand name filters" i dont have one but the tests have prooved that these are tops

do a search, a while back in a thread bout filters i posted up a huge comparison of common filters 11 or so with flow rates and filtration rates

i have a Blitz SUS... sounds absolutely awesome, seriously...

does the job too i guess :/

in regards to turbo timer, what do you want it to do...?

keep your car running for a tiny while to let the turbo and engine cool down right?

all timers do the same thing in theory, me and m brother both have invisible ones interfaced with the alarm...

key out, engine still running... one/two minute(s) later engine off... they all do the same job mate, which one looks nicer in the car? :banana:

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
