Hi all,

I need some help.

I have a RB20DET which i am modding but it is also my daily so cannot afford to have it off the road at all really.

Current set up is:

RB20DET

Stock Turbo

Dump into 3 inch through to cannon

Adjustable cam gears

GTR fuel pump

New mods will be:

ATR28G3 turbo

Z32 AFM

GTR Injectors

The current motor is apart getting the head fixed (exhaust stud broken)

I have never put mods on before so i am wondering how and which order i can put them on with the car making it still drivable.

I pick up the turbo this weekend and can put on the car now, but i dont want to get the tune done yet because i dont have the injectors or AFM.

Can i put it on and still drive it under low boost until i get the tune?

Secondly can the AFM go on without a tune and still run?

I know the injectors are a pretty much no go as it will be putting in twice the fuel.

So can i mod this in anyways without the tune straight up..

I will be looking at a Power FC a little down the track once the funds come back in.

I hope this makes sense, as im a n00b to modding.

looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Thanks Heaps!!

Turbo can be put on car and driven. Just keep boost low cause car not tuned to it.

AFM and injectors wont work on car without tune.

AFM only takes about 30mins-1hr to wire in.

Injectors can take a day if you have everything available.

I installed injectors and afm into my car with no prior experience, pretty straight forward.

Have a look at my thread for more info; http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Gt...20-t256804.html

You wont be able to drive the car with z32 afm and/or gtr injectors.

You will need to get it tuned for it to drive.

What i did was buy nistune board www.nistune.com and soldered it into my ecu.

Then took it to Status Tuning who loaded a base tune map on my ecu so I could drive it to his place for a tune.

Although the tune was used from a similar car with similar mods as mine, the car wouldnt rev over and struggled real bad. Had to limp it to status tuning for a proper tune.

Look into nistune for your tuning. I

Nistune board costs about $250~ and then you will need to get it tuned, should be around $600? i think, best calling Status Tuning for prices.

Status tuning also do a tune+nistune package I believe (drive in-drive out), just let him know you want to install injectors/afm and limp it to his place. He will then give you a base map to drive it over :)

If you need any help let me know, as I can see you are in Melbourne too :P

Cheers

    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
