you'll need the z32 after you hit 300kw tho... or go for the more expensive nismo afm

speaking of z32s, wheres the cheapest place to get em from, with the plug?

-D

From what i know about the Nismo AFM's the Z32's will still out flow them. Like you said the nismos are more expensive and really the only advantage is that they are 60mm (which is why the Z32 out flow them). A mate of mine just fitted some Z32's to his 33 GTR and with a bit of heat you can stretch the factory intake pipes over the bigger Z32's anyway.

what did the pressure one set you back ?

I honestly cant remember, over $100 iirc but I cant recally precisely how much. it also depends on how many addons u need

i had to get a couple of fittings since I was mating the VDO gauge to an omori plug (as the omori gauge had failed a long time before i got the car) so it cost me a little extra.

VDO are probably the best mechanical gauges on the market. If you want electronic then some of the jap brands will suit you well, but the VDO's are made by siemens germany (who incidentally made my injectors) and so I can give them two thumbs up

Accurate as hell.

thats very true, the bigger diameter of the z32 is a great performance advantage, however its a blatant regency no-no...

the nismo is a little more stealthy but probably just as illegal as the z32

so yeah, ill be going for the z32, maybe I can get it engineered. i imagine it can be, as one is only making the inlet diameter wider and putting in a more accurate afm....

then again, this is rannistan

its a emissions item so they aren't going to like engineering it. Also i don't think that is the emissions testing equipment in SA that is suitable to fully test a new tune. The emission test they make us do is basically testing that you have all the factory gear working correctly they then just rely on the factory tune meeting the standards that it is supposed to.

when i get my 25 conversion engineered i'll be going interstate anyway (even though i don't need a full emissions test) because it'll cost 20% of what it'd cost to get it done here.

mm that bites...

thats the sorta thing that would be kinda fun to challenge in court (if one was very wealthy) - the failure of the govt to provide adequate testing equipment as well as the stupidity of trying to enforce laws that they have no means of testing accurately. If it wouldnt cost so much money, it'd be a worthy waste of time.. (even representing yourself, court can cost a lot unfortunately)

seeing as i dont have a compression sender at all :s

It is officially 1 year since my good friend in Dimitirious Ninos passed away in that accident on Taplies hill rd and the high speed collision with the stoby pole in that silver WRX.

Still finding it hard to accept.

Far out, a year already!!?!?!?

RIP mate

Sorry to hear mate. May I ask, was that the crash that involved another WRX?

My now-ex mate, Corey, was involved in one of the high speed crashes. He was driving a Green or Blue WRX, was racing another car (pretty sure it was a rex). The other car had fatally crashed either into a pole or a tree, but Corey being a complete prick, didn't stop to render assistance, instead he just drove away fully knowing that the other car had crashed.

He got caught soon after and was arrested for it. He's currently facing court but I'm unaware of the outcome - but jail time is on the cards.

I still cannot believe he didn't simply pull over to provide assistance, but instead did the selfish thing and left the scene. Since then, I haven't spoken to him and neither have my mates... we all disowned him.

He was in the paper a few months back (front page) but would love to know the outcome in court. It was only a matter of time before something like this happend. He would race any car out on the streets at any oppurtunity and never seemed to learn his lesson.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
