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.

:whistling:

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?

:D

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)

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
