daily r32 performance

[cul202]

i've got a 32 gts-t with quite a few km's on it and a big turbo back exhaust and i'm looking for a few extra Nm & kw...

I'm thinking a turbo rebuild and 10psi

a pod with cold air pipe

tuning to sort it out

any ideas of any probs i may encounter with the std computer

any other mods that may be low cost (i've notice 'cooler kits are a bit pricey)

any recommended tuners in the sydney area

is a bleed valve the easy option to increase the boost

[WazR32GTSt]

1) a high flow panel filter in the stock airbox with a pipe running from the bumper feeding cold air

2) bleed valve to 11-12psi

3) SAFC tuned on a dyno to get the best a/f ratios

assuming your engine and turbo are in OK condition this shoud yield some more power to play with... and should cost less than $500 all up...

Waz.

[cul202]

sounds pretty good. ta for the tip...

what exactly is a SAFC? a brand of piggyback computer? forgive my ignorance

going to rebuild the turbo to be safe as i don't believe it will put up with much more boost. what boost do the ceramic wheels normally put up with?

[Mase]

why not get an rb25 turbo instead rather than rebuilding the stock unit unless you plan on putting bigger wheels in the turbo?

[meggala]

or a vg 30 turbo tyhats the best option the vg 30 turbo will come close to maxing out the fuel system and s-afc or chip to adjsut the tune

meggals up to around 12 psi no need for big cooler

Hi cul202, I agree with mase, get a RB25DET turbo. swap the wastegate actuator from your RB20DET turbo. RB25DET is 0.4 bar whereas RB20SET is 0.6 bar. The RB25DET turbo flows more air at the same boost level, so gives around 20 rwkw more power. It bolts straightup, so cost is minimised.

Also makes a better base for a ball bearing hi flow later on if you decide you need more.

Hope that helps

Who needs a bleed valve for 11-12psi... mines at that already and all its got is a full exhaust turbo to tip. Stock boost effectively.

That's spot on what i did sydneykid, thanks for the tip off on the wastegate in the other thread. Lots of fun. If you want a car for straight performance then the vg30 would be good but it's a tad lagier. Rb25 turbs is good if u like a bit of drifting and a more smoother power curve.

[cul202]

now all i need is a 25det turbo in good nik & someone to set it up and tune it for me...

anyone know of anyone in sydney who is reliable & not over priced?

ta again for the tips people

[Mase]

I don't know whether there is much tuning needed really. I simply bolted it on, reset the computer and went on my merry way.

another option is to get your standard computer re-chipped for like $200.

for about $1000 you could get about 170rwkw.

Panel filter for standard air box. - $100

rb25 turbo - $500

bleed valve - $60

rechip computer - $200

gtr fuel pump - $200

that should be about $1000 and give you a reliable 170rwkw from your RB20.

After that, the next thing should be an intercooler. It's almost summer and the stocky one is a little small for that sort of power.

A GTR intercooler is now worth about $600. piping say another $400..

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

I have 158.8 RWKW after a FMIC, Bosch fuel pump, Boost controller. I have a cat back exhaust also.

have a bigger turbo to go on, GTR injectors, and going to order a power FC after xmas
