Got my R32 GTR's ecu upgraded to a Vipec recently. With Turbo-back exhaust and R34 turbos and HKS EVC boost controller set to 14 psi, it's making 205 atw kw. I would eventually like it to make around the 250 atw kw.

My question is what's the most cost effective upgrade to do next?

My mechanic suggested to upgrade the fuel system and a re-tune after that. Other are saying cams and more boost.

Any suggetions?

get a new mechanic.

Fuel system is good for over 250rwkw. Maybe change your fuel pump to a newer one

Cams are not needed for a while yet....

Just up the boost and get it re-tuned. Check for any restrictions too. (exhaust etc)

being a tax payer how about using the money to lobby the govt to spend our money on infrastructure so the nation has an asset rather than a larger current account deficit OR more tuning?

That worked....................lol

an hour of dyno time? or a few hours?

8 deg retard on exhaust and 4 deg advance on inlet generally works best on stock cams.

these figures are crank degrees so 4 and 2 on the cam wheels.

id buy a Techedge wideband and have it hooked up to the Vi-PEC. With the autotune function enabled it will constantly analyze and alter the tune for optimum results. Or if you want a dash style interface similar to a power fc handcontroller for the Vi-PEC a EM PRO II engine monitor would be a wise investment.

leave it to the wideband O2 control. the autotune doesn't alter the fuel map properly when the cells are changing as rapidly as they do driving around town. (i have tried it and it messes the map up)

ok sweet. good investment though...i love mine :D

As far as i am aware it is, god i hope so, i allready have plans for the money haha :D

yep definetly is. money will start being deposited in april unless you didnt do your tax return last year or the year before (cant remember which year they are going off). will be getting deposited straight into the account that you used aswell.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
