-walbro fuel pump.. usure what.. but better than stock lol

-hks adj waste gate actuator

after paint and coil-overs i have around 2400$,

tune and re-map around $400

so i have 2 g left for upgrade.. am thinking

Z32 AFM

bigger turbo

full dump pipe to cat

but that is as far as i have got so far.

a mate reccomended a kkr replacement turbo around $580 from ebay, had a look, rated too 430hp etc, what are peoples opinions on these, or a VG30 turbo, i like the idea of KKR because it is a new item and not used before.

fair sure i want too stay internal gate and low mound too try keep the fuzz away!

any opinions, reccomendations etc would be very appreciated... thanks

no one keen on helping me :'(

Search here and on Google for lots on the KKR units. Mostly not to positive but anyway, have a read.

Ditto for lots of turbo and other options for RB20. See the stickys at the start of Forced Induction forum for lots of info.

I do feel for you though. There's so much info that you may have even more questions afterwards. Anyway, lots of options is always a good thing.

Good luck.

Honestly, a good look at the suspension and replace buggered stuff. Throw a proper dump pipe on it. A toshi remap for the std turbo, or perhaps an R33 turbo. Unless you are willing to poor thousands at the car i wouldnt go for anything bigger then an RB25 turbo with a chipped ecu.

If you ave cash left over spend it on some GTR rims and tyres and go belt the thing around the track and spend the money enjoying it rather then pouring cash into it. Getting carried away with mods ruined the fun i have with my car :)

GO the rb25 turbo , i boosted my vg30 too 16.5 pound daily and couldn't kill it, mind u all that rb20 in my r31 was good for was drifting and thrashing, made fun power and bigwank noises but, no good for daily driving. :D

+1 - cheap mod i got my turbo 4 $300 from sss automotive, rb25 turbo should tire u over till u can grab an rb25 witha decent snail :(

So So true. Enjoy the car Punt it around on as many track/private practice days as possible otherwise it will snowball into a money pit thats sits in the

garage in pieces with promises of being the weapon it deserves to be.

In all honesty you really need to evaluate what your long term goals are for the car and study study study cause man there is hours and hours of info on every path you could wanna take. its all been done. jus do it once and do it right otherwise your just pi$$in money up the wall.

+ 1 to having fun in your car insted of turning it into a money pit.................................. like me ;)

It'll cost you thousands and thousands to mod it, and will cost you that again to fix it wheni breaks every 3 months.

If i had my time again (and will soon) im gunna buy a stocko (or close too) coilovers, tie rods, castor rods, camber arms, brakes, fmic, oil cooler, and in your case r33 turbo, boost controller and tune.

Then you can have fun. for a long time.

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
