I’m not having a go at you Brandon; just the power you are talking isn’t cheap, but is easily attainable. 550cc injectors are just far too small; who ever told you that needs to step away from the product catalog.

Refer back a few pages and read the conservative break down of power conversions. Basic rule of thumb is 550cc are good for 550hp at the fly on or near 100% duty cycle.

I ran 1000cc's when I was only making 600rwhp, because I'm friggin anal.

I wouldnt run 800cc after reading about efficiency, unless you have plans for further upgrades.

Buy a turbo BA Falcon if you want bulk power and still retain 600kms to a tank of fuel.

My 490rwhp R32 (1.5bar) 250kays per tank highway driving

My 600rwhp RB/S13 Same sort of boost about 420 - 450kays per tank highway driving.

Some crazy engineer guy on a Lexus forum I read flow tested most of the “high end jap” pods and Apexi came out pretty good – But that was about 2 years ago.

Alas my preference is towards air boxes, obviously.

Does that mammoth Japanese R31 specialist do anything like the ARC boxes? I can’t even remember their name?? R31House? R31Shop. Either way they’re cars make me quiver.

Yea I'm with you and I know its easily attainable at a cost. Not counting the odd cases (you giving afms away), that list would be close to 4k just for material. It comes to cost. Look at Dan! He said he spend close to 20k on his car already. And for me to have that kinda money, I'll probably put it into the house or get an investment property... to each his own and maybe you're right on the injectors. I said before all these are from reading but if your experience tells you other wise I'll keep that in mind because from your personal experience (just as I did for savman's advise). Just as your view on gavin and matt (thats in my mind already so if I ever do get it retune, it will be pit).

Whats the difference? I always thought airbox are something you used to cover the pod filters which sorta affect flow but will keep the cops away. Or are the pod filters a replacement of airbox...?

What ever you do don't run this type of style that has the metal?? Button like centre part "thingy". I have seen this more or less fold in on it's self from the turbo sucking harder than a hooker..

My mates one looked like it tried to eat it's self!

Pod filters replace the air box, but you can get these epic cool box like covers that sit over the pods – I have no personal experience with these.

Oh yeh it accumulates up very quick. There is always cheaper options however, 2x rb20det AFM’s are meant to be a good conversion – But no personal experience. You can buy known good second hand injectors from known forum members, spend a few bux getting them sonic cleaned to insure they are perfect etc.

Just a case of seeing what is forsale at the time for what price, then looking at what online traders offer and weigh up the price short fall. Online shops are kings – No over heads, smaller price.

Barter hard. Taz is getting onto to some good industry suppliers now, so maybe have a chat with him as well. Best price win’s my sale is what I use.

Sell Tristans. He doesnt even use either of the ones he has, so missing one will have no effect

Yea I already know that. In fact so long as you've got the money, everything is easy. I dont think you'll be saying that if you've gotta pay 3k a month for homeloan.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
