When i search JDM yard and such all i find are turbos worth $5000. I really dont want to spend that much (dont even have that much!! :D )

Whats a good turbo that will give me a decent KW/HP boost? Right now ive got a HR32 gts-t running 13psi on standard turbo with a aftermarket intercooler.

How much power do you want, do you want the engine bay to look std, Are you willing to upgrade ECU, injectors etc? There are plenty of options for a turbo less then $2000, but all the other stuff that may be required will soon add up to $5000

well, i am willing to upgrade whatever is needed to get maximum performance from the turbo. I have a budget of about $4500. How much are the listed turbos pushing in terms of stock PSI?

I was in same situation as you and if you are upgrading turbo for decent power you will probably need to spend around $3000 minimum. You will need to upgrade injectors, fuel pump, and likely go to a Z32 AFM if you are going for 220rwkw+. If this is the case then you will need to upgrade your ecu.

My breakdown has been approx:

HKS2530 + HKS wastegate actuator - $1600 +$300 because I was stupid and something must have got in the intake and chipped the compressor wheel.

GTR Injectors - $200 + cleaning and flow testing

Z32 AFM - $300 new, I got two second hand, I think one may be fake though but I will be testing this once I have the car running well.

Bosch 040 fuel pump - $210, aprox $250 new

Just Jap FMIC kit - $500

Power FC - $1000, could probably get away with a second hand emanage ultimate or a toshi remap for around $700

Boost controller - $40 Turbotech but you may like to go electronic and this could cost you $200 up

Front pipe/split dump - $180

Misc costs for gaskets, getting intake piping welded, oil + coolant - $200-$300

You could probably get away with less. I got a turbo that has heaps of response and decent power in very good condition. You could probably get away with a hi-flow from Hypergear or something for $800ish if your not worried about this and want more than 240kw. I'm also lucky in that I have a good clutchalready , I think you would be lucky to get away with the standard one not slipping at decent power levels.

cheap 2nd hand go with rb25 turbo or vg turbo

next cheapest hypergear are getting good results

otherwise 2530

up till 220 you should be right with std injectors an afm. you should all ready have other supporting mods.

220rwkw on 270cc injectors? Don't think so, Mates was hitting close to 100% on ~200rwkw. Should go for HKS GT2535, GTR pump, GTR Injectors, set of splitfires and and a remap.

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

      roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
