You have a R34 GTT, the Side Mount Intercooler should be fine for just over 200 kW's.

Yeah so you want to run 11 Psi (+0.7 Bar) which is what a GTR would run... Well 10.9 Psi...

From memory GTS-T's / GTT's run about 7 Psi (+0.5 Bar)

Correct me if I am wrong...

You should be fine with your Standard SMIC, as that's what ppl with R32 and R33 GTS-T's can use (the R34 GTT) to upgrade to to run just over 200 kW's.

Best to get your Boost controller installed, at the same time run a dyno tune just to make sure.

RE Customs and Racepace (just to name a few garages) can do it for you.

Cool!

Mate,

First off you need to know what your future goals are intended for your car.

Do you wanna have a 300kw weapon? Or do you just want a ordinary daily 200kw Skyline?

Many of times i've seen people buy upgrades for their cars and have wasted money as their intentions have changed, whether it's due to more power or selling the car!

If you want the best from 11psi, let me suggest this.

You already have exhaust

- Air Filter suggest Apexi (ain't shit unless you have it boxed off with some cold air going straight to it)

- ECU not needed, Re-Map is fine. There is a guy on the forum in Melbourne..Dr Drift...he does Nistunes and will re-map your standard ECU.

- Spark Plugs gapped to 0.8mm

- Have a VERY GOOD look at your coils..are they split?...good working order?..If not, invest in some Splitfires as these are a common culprit to missfires.

- Exedy heavy duty clutch..better to change it now otherwise you'll be left on the side of the road with the smell of burnt clutch in no time.

- Brake Pads..Greenstuff, Ferodo, Bendix, tehse are good brands, anything in their Top of the line range are fine.

NO GOOD GOING FAST IF YOU CAN'T STOP FAST.

Now if you want to enjoy your power...upgrading handling will be better than any performance upgrade HANDS DOWN!

Invest in Coilovers..Expect to pay $2000+

Swaybars..best bang for buck.

HICAS lock bar...

All these parts if correctly tunes will combine and unite into a very enjoyable street car.

Hope this al helps.

^^^ agree with most of this

- I wouldnt be getting the remapped ECU though, i'd get PFC or if u cant afford it SAFC

- Also no point upgrading clutch and coilpacks until they fail if you only drive around the city - you'll be able to drive it on its last legs to the workshop when the clutch is finished

- Also the stock pads are pretty good in my experience, wouldnt bother upgrading until they next need to be serviced

Just so you also know, back in the day i boosted my stock s2 nylon turbo to 12psi with a t-piece that would spike and creep. It never blew and was it very good nick even though it had done over 120K's.

Basically what I mentioned will hopefully bring out the best potential out of the standard parts you have on your car.

Re-Map is just as good as PowerFC (up to an extent ie;260+rwkw) been proven time and time again.

OK, powerFC may have a larger map to tune from, but every tuner knows that not all of the map is even used.

- Coilpacks are not needed unless they are cracked or failing, which I stated in my previous post.

- I'd change cutch just to be on the safe side. Once you upgrade the power, you'll be hooked and just wanna put yout foot down at every chance you get. Lol..I did!

Good luck with all of it!

if i were u i would sell the boost controller.

get a cooler (i have a saber one and have no problems with it but there are hundreds out there to choose from)

then buy an ecu with a built in boost controller like a wolf or something then u dont have stuff u dont really need, less stuff in ur cabin for cops to have a look at as well.

imo subtle mods that are easy to hide are much better.

do it once and do it properly.

and as said above handling is important as well.

ok, to make it simple and easy, all i wanted and intended for my car in a year or 3, is just to make it my daily drive, not going on the track or race or any kind, not planning getting remap or getting aftermarket ecu, or turbo upgrade, or any big upgrades, so basically, have no plans of getting the car over 200 rwkw not until in a few years..all i wanted is, to install my EBC to control the boost, when to use high and low, if say i am running 10-11 psi with my mods right now..not intended to upped more boost which i know i CAN NOT do it bcoz of the standard parts i have at the moment..

i think i made everything so complicated, i should have the topic. "IS IT POSSIBLE TO INSTALL MY EBC INTENDED ONLY TO CONTROL HIGH AND LOW BOOST"

EBC can do anything...High Low Med...

Will your car run "SMOOTHLY" so to say, maybe, maybe not!

Simple answer for your question is YES!

cheerz R2THEJ...

its easier for me to decide now after reading all those advices and comments as i am pretty new to this turbo and skylines stuff..just for the record, my er34 is my first car, so hoping not to stuff it up with my silly decisions in the future, hence why im on here...

fyi, the r34 smic is an upgrade for us r33 folk. im running 10psi (rb20 actuator controlled) on full 3" zorst, metal cat, r34 smic, pod (wank) and standard ecu. 11psi is "safe" in my opinion. my car has been in this state of tune for atleast the last year, and i have a heavy foot. no issues

remember, the dyno is not 100% accurate to road conditions. the airflow especially mainly caters for those with FMIC (big fan pointed at the front bar) but doesnt look like it gets much air to the side mounts. keep the EBC. if you plan on modding further it will come in handy

Hijack,

Basti, in regards to the RB20 actuator, how do you have the vacumn hoses connected, as i have the same setup?

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
