Have a yarn with zenon Josh, Thats about where he's at with some carefully thought out spenshun mods and he has a ball in that flat capper of his.

Yeh might hit him up. My teins gotta go! no question there. Dont even think they are worth trying to save with less silly spring rates in them

T51Z on a stock rb20, and then change the timing belt.

and then fit a new intercooler.

then some more parts.

then wait a couple weeks

RB24 is a waste of time.

Plenty can be done with the RB20. Need to spend a bit on cylinder head work though if you want the numbers and torque.

Leave the bottom end for now, take off the head and put on a pre-ported one with bigger valves etc. Go Pon cams, Angry German with surge tank injectors and a NISTUNE or I have an ECU in my 20 which has already been chipped and I won't be needing it. Already set up for 550's and a Z32AFM

I can't use AFM with the new setup as there is nothing big enough for 1rwkhp

So all you'd need would be injectors, fuel system, JJ intercooler and a couple of other bits and pieces. Could easily get 220rwkw on that turbo.

Then when you can afford more of an upgrade (or even want one) do the cylinder head and go bigger turbo/cams. You can make 235rwkw on the stock cams with stock/untouched head.

You can also do 205-210 rwkw on stock injectors and AFM too but I would be careful running them at those levels.

Is it worth toying with cam gears? Or not worth it unless I went to a full ECU?

Worth my time buying a 6boost manifold for the current turbo? (I have no views of going high mount/ex gates).

The key is, response, keeping it alive and staying consistent

No, stay factory manifold but maybe heat coat inside and out.

easy to keep it alive but revs will have to be cut short at 8k until you can afford/want bottom end work. And I'm not talking about beat kind of bottom end work.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
