Hi,

can anyone tell me which is the best setup.

here is what i got on my car now R34 GTT.

pod filter

aftermarket exhaust 3.5'

EBC HKS evc3

that all i think as for performance gain.

Just wonder which is my next best setup as i have $2000 to spend again next week. And i have found a few price setup, but i don't know which shall i go first.

Emanage (software and harness) + EO1 + HKS SQV = $1500 (all new)

or

Power FC for = $1400 (new or second)

or

HKS type S or R intercooler = $1450 (new)

or

HKS 2540 = 1700 (second hand) + injector 550cc second hand= $500 if i go for this i need to install the turbo first and sell of my stock turbo, to get the injector:) and next month get a second SAFC

so guys which is the best. PLS help me out as i did try to sell of my car but since that nobody want it, then i will continue mod it:)

what is the point of putting a FMIC if your turbo is still stock ... from my point of view changing a FMIC without a bigger tubo is just showing off. IT does not provide extra HP.

but if i get the turbo first, i will gain extra hp first, than only go for FIMC then another extra HP again

correct me if i am worng

Id go cooler, management, turbo.

Turbo is by far the biggest change and if you want to do everything as safe as possible without the risk of detonation and damage a decent intercooler is essential. Not sure about the R34 GTT's limits in that regard but if your turbo is a significant upgrade and you wish to run some decent level of boost, an aftermarket intercooler is a good idea.

You be surprised about an intercoolers ability to create extra hp just from decreasing the intake temperatures alone. A more efficent cooler means colder air is going into the motor, and thus more hp. It wouldnt be ALOT, but saying it doesnt provide extra hp isnt strictly true.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
