Hi Guys, Ive got basicly a stock R34 GTT.

The wife has said I can spend a few $$ on it :D :D

I want to warm it up a bit.

Budget is somewhere between $3000 and $5000.

Cant be too loud or Droney afterwards, its a car for daily use.

Whats the recommendations for the best bang for the buck?

I was thinking along the lines of

Pod Filter

Bleed Valve

Exhaust

Intercooler

Is that a reasonable start?

Any recommendations on brands / things to avoid?

Whats the Turbosmart E Boost like? Someone recommended one to me. Better getting this than a mechanical bleed valve?

Any ideas what increase in performance I would be looking at?

Lastly, wheres a place that does a good job at a reasonable price?

I bought it from Unique Autosports and Im quite happy to go back there. Anyone have good or bad experiences from them?

thats a start,

1st things i done

hks pod filter

bleed valve- boost up to 12psi

3'' exhaust,3''high flow cat, 3.5'' cat back

yet to get cooler but its in the process of being made.

saving up for apexi avcr- elec. boost controller

performance gain would be noticible with a good dyno tune,

UAS is where i get alot of my parts from and find them very good.

with just pod,zorst, and boost up i hit 146kw@wheels..

hope that helps..

cheers...

get a full exhaust and dont buy a bleed valve get an electric one instead. you can get fairly cheap second hand items such as the profec b. if your not looking for big hp you dont need the front mount intercooler. air filters also dont do that much. spend the rest of the money on some good suspension and a power fc. :(

I dynoed my car with a K&N panel filter and got 176kw@6007rpm with 1304Nm @4713rpm.

I fitted a 2 3/4 in stainless cat back exhaust and had the cat removed(because we can in NZ:p ) and then redynoed it and got 195kw@6660rpm and 1398Nm @4655rpm

This was on a dynapack pro V5 hub dynamometer.

All figures are at the wheel hubs.

You seem to on the right track, apart from the bleed valve. Forget about that and get an electronic boost controller. But a SAFC might be a good idea as well, to keep it from leaning out at higher boost.

19kw just from removing the cat?

I didnt think they were that restrictive.

Im assuming that was the factory one you removed?

I removed the cat and fitted a 2 3/4in kakimoto stainless cat back exhaust. That gained me 19rwkw.

A SAFC is a super air flow controller, it enables you to controll the air/fuel mixtures by tricking the computer some how. I'm not really up to play with them, but have heard a few success stories from people fitting them.

i'd go:

full aftermarket exhaust (one with centre muffler aswell as rear, since you dont want it too loud)

front mount intercooler

electronic boost control + apexi safcII, or can go for a more serious aftermarket ecu. try get these ones installed at the same time so you don't have to tune it more than once (save $).

Turbosmart E Boost is probably good, but you can also get jap brand EBC (electronic boost controllers) for a similar price. its up to you really.

instead of getting the safcII why not spend a little more for a greddy E manage. You can even find second hand power fc's for a little more than a thousand that will save you from spending money on the safc now when you will probably uprgrade to a a programmable computer in the future anyway.

GTS4 - are your kw readings to the wheels or to the fly wheel?

Check out this months issue of "Speed" the magazine. It has a RB25DET tune guide. It's worth a little look. Also got info on the V35 GT-R as well. Personaly I am adding a R34 FMC, Apexi Power FC with hand controler, air pod and exhaust to mine. Should go well I reckon. You'll get plenty of power before you even think on engine internals :P Just remeber they love to breath and the standard ECU's are full of holes.

the R34 intercooler is plenty big enough for the stock turbo.

It's thicker than the R33 cooler. If any of you R34 guys want to palm off your old stock intercooler let me know and I'll ping you $150 for it.

Get a light flywheel (and clutch while your at it).

Do the exhaust, all the way. Thermal wrap the dump & front pipe.

Diff cradle kit

Panel filter.

Boost controller.

For starters.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
