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.

Would be interested to see this, the last test I saw rated Apexi ones as very good.

Might be time to change filter, shame i can't get one of those ARC boxes for my car :)

yeeeh ill get onto him so he can either email it to u or print it for u and show you on thursdayy :)

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.

R31 House.

They probably do, but you'd have to sell ur left nut to buy one.

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

whores lol.

Agree with pretty much everything Nismo has said lol. Making power with a gtr is easy but it costs money so man up and buy the gear lol.

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.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
