Hi all, my gtst makes about 180 rwkw with basic mods - air filter, fmic, power fc, profec spec b (12psi), 3 inch turbo back exhaust.

I want to take it to the next level but i'm not totally sure what to get. I know i need to upgrade my fuel system so a new fuel pump, maybe a fuel regulator?

550cc injectors and a GTRS turbo.

I would like around 230-250 rwkw, not a whole lot but enough to beat the odd GTR.

To make the power you can go for a few turbos. High flow (i.e. GCG), GTR-S, GT3071R, there's others.

Fuel pump is a must, regulator is probably a good idea and an ECU.

Yep 550's will be needed.

Then a retune and you're done. Your clutch will die in the ass if it's stock, so don't forget that.

You'd put up a fight against a GTR, but don't forget they can dump the shit outta their clutches and keep good traction off the line.

Nismo/Tomei fuel pump

Nismo injectors

Power FC

Z32 AFM

Highflow,GT 2876 or HKS 2835

Upgraded clutch

Upgraded Brakes

Thats the basics, there is a good 6-7k just in parts.Its all a matter of how far you want to go with the car and how much you want to spend.

Once you know what you want from the car and how much you want to spend,the rest is easy.

Well a stock turbo'd GTR will still give you a hosing...

Either way, there are a lot of threads on basic turbo upgrades from

GCG hiflows

GT-RS

2835

TD06

And other similar turbos that will fit the bill for what you are after.

Fuel reg = waste of money. Always has been when you can run over 400rwkw off the stock one

The Car is my daily, track everything use.

Want about 250rwkw.

I really like and want response.

Not too much coin to spend!

Another question, i want to get the cheap walbro fuel pump off Sliding performance because i don't want all that much power, should i be looking at a nismo one or not bother?

Fuel Pump

Injectors

Turbos (would recommend GT-SS's for better response)

ECU Retune

Clutch (Don't ignore this like most power chasers do - people attempting to race other cars generally look extremely silly when something goes bang and they don't move from the lights)

Brakes (Also don't ignore - people attempting to race other cars and end up hitting solid objects also look quite silly)

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
