A nice list of upgrades it's got there.

The main thing is, what is the condition of the engine, turbo, mechanics and electrics..?

Get it checked out and test drive it. By driving the car you will be able to tell if there is any uncertainties of the car.

Turbo Timers are there so you can let your car sit and idle, saving you from waiting a few minutes.

+ you can set the alarm/lock up and the car will only switch off when the count down is finished.

Cool-down period required to prevent premature turbo wear and failure.

After a period of driving when a turbocharger has been working hard, it is important to let the engine run at idle speed for a period of time, allowing the compressor assembly to cool from the lower gas temperatures in both the exhaust and intake tracts.

At the same time the lubricating oil from the engine is able to circulate properly so the turbine won't burn the lubricating oil that would otherwise be trapped within the charger with the turbine rotating at high speed.

thanks mate,

yeh i thought it drove really well on the test drive, its booked into jap motor sport in adelaide so the mechanic can do a full check and compression test. fingers crossed, could have it by the weekend.

what sort of power would it make with these mods? and what mods should i be looking at next?

im thinking fuel pump and injectors. a new turbo would probably be out of my price range

Good! :wave:

Getting you mechanic to do a full inspection on the car will give you a peace of mind and let you know if it's good of not.

You do have some quality upgrades there, here is a quick run down of what they do...

Nismo GT-R Bodykit, the R32 GTR front bar has air vents to allow air flow to the FMIC and give the car decent look.

East-Bear Bonnet, has a vent to allow the heat out of the engine bay.

Koyo Radiator will keep your water temps at a lower / steadier temp so the car does not get too hot at the same time keep the lower temp more stable for longer spirited / track runs.

GReddy Spec LS Front Mount Intercooler for better air flow and cooling into the inlet plenum. You may experience a slight lag due to the front mount (on stock Boost) but if you are running higher boost, you won't notice it.

Trust Airinx Pod Filter for more air to go into the turbo, but can suck in hot air and you don't want that. Best shield off the pod or put the stock air box back on.

GReddy Oil Catch Can collects blow-by gasses that can create damaging carbon and oil sludge build-up in your intake including your intercooler. For Mid to Highly modified cars, if your car is stock, you won't need it.

Apexi "Pencil Type" Turbo Timer, as explained in my last post.

Swoosh Boost & Oil Temp Gauges - Dual Gauge Holder, aftermarket gauges are more accurate then the stock gauges, lets you keep track of your turbo boost pressures and oil temps.

RS-R* Piping from Dump to Cat

Trust MX Exhaust Cat Back

^^ You got a full/turbo back exhaust system to allow better exhaust flow and you will gain a bit of power there.

KYB Short Stroke Struts, great for handling and as they are Short Stroke, the car will sit lower = lower centre of gravity, better control you have over the car = the faster you can turn corners.

King Springs, these will be harder then the stock ones and will add to the handling as mentioned above.

Endless Carbon Brake Pads, I think you have these pads in,

"The Endless CC-A compound is a Ceramic Carbon Brake Pad that provides superb pedal feel.

Designed to exhibit none of the negative characteristics that ceramic carbon compounds are known to have, such as low friction at lower temperatures, the CC-A compound has excellent cold bite while producing minimal amounts of dust and noise.

The Endless CC-A pads do all this while still being friendly to rotors, perfect for a high performance street pad." - http://www.endlessusa.com/brakepad/cc-a/

Higher quality pads then standard.

A stock R32 GTS-T is about 158kW's at the fly wheel (I think), from memory you lose about 25% through out the drivetrain + every dyno will have a different reading.

To be honest I can't say how many kW's the car will have, but at the moment the exhaust will be the one giving most of the power upgrade. (15-20 Kw's) maybe...

If the car is running stock boost, then the air pod and FMIC will give it a few more kW's but nothing huge.

I can easily say this car has probably seen a few track days / drift events.

So your doing the right thing by getting it checked out and get your mechanic to check the turbo as well.

Cool!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
