i have just bought an r32 4 door rb20 turbo which is my first turbo it has

*bilstein front shocks

*koni rears

*runs standard boost(at the moment)

*everything on the motor is stock except GTR injectors and GTR radiator stock exhaust runs on 18 inch rims....the rims are stamped in japanese writing so i dont know wat kind of rims they are. Could any one tell me how many kwts my car ruffly has now, and can anyone tell me some good cheap and easy mods to get me started i am currently in the process of getting it dyno tuned. I just wanna do a couple of things first then get it tuned just some ideas would be great and any heads up to cruises would be even better cheers

Hey man

You could get a pod filter so it will let you hear the turbo and induction noise better

Then buy a 3inch exhaust to get a nice beat and let the car have more flow

Also put an intercooler in and then should be able to do a nice tune and make a pretty nice figure on the dyno.

Welcome to the forum, Niran

DONOT put a pod filter on without making/buying a cover for it, it will only suck hot air and you will lose power. Keep your standard air box and just put a quality filter in. Cold air induction if it hasn't got it already.

First make sure your brakes are good.(discs OK, new quality pads, bleed)

Full Service

Suspension(sway bars are the best cheap performance upgrade in my opinion)

Turbo back zorst with high flow cat, (biggest cat you can fit, keep the DB legalish to keep the Police happy and dont use a cannon as they are gay and will attract unwanted attention)

Most parts can be found at wreckers or import yards.

You may even find a good electronic boost controller, if not a cheap bleed valve will do.

FMIC (paint it matt black to avoid being a defect magnet)

Take it in for a tune.

Lots of good websites out there, check this one out for some nice cheap/free mods.

Most importantly, dont drive like a idiot on the street.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
