It's all on here, for such a common upgrade path - just search! I'd try to get a Power FC if you can, less fuss for closer to stock 'niceness' eg coldstart etc. You could probably figure out your options from all the 'what do upgrade next' threads on the first 3 plages of this section alone.

if u get the stock turbo highflowed it shouldnt get too much turbo lag at all. Maybe if was abit bigger then would start to lag. But the turbo size is fine for the engine so shudnt be too much lag. The smaller the less lag

id start looking at coilovers or heavy duty clutch. but if its purely power your after, id be going power fc as well

my main problem with the power fc is the lack of upgrades in the last god knows how long and the little "technical oversight" in the lack of knock correction,is it just the price that turns people off haltech or is there more to it??

Everything you have listed is fine for your goal. Like said above, if the clutch is stock then thats the only thing that will need to be upgraded.

With 220-250kw, you wont need to worry about lag at all, very similar response to factory with a highflow or T28 series turbo.

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • 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!
