Hey all,

Been doing plenty of research trying to get my basket to near perfect. Planning to collect all parts one by one and install most of them all at once. My aim is to go past 300rwkw but not too far past. Want it set up for mostly street with plenty at the lights lol and for the occasional track race.

My basket includes atm;

Greddy oil cooler kit

Power Fc boost controller or HKS boost controller (open to options)

HKS twin plate clutch kit + flywheel

TOMEI PONCAM RB25 R33(-97.9) NVCS camshafts

Cam gears (open to options)

ECU power fc

Z32 Airflow Meter

Bosch 044 fuel pump

Greddy Genuine Intake Plenum

Nismo 555cc Injectors (open to options)

GT3076R 56 Trim Turbocharger kit .82 rear

Greddy Trust MX Front pipe

3" CAT CONVERTOR (or decat)

Coilovers (open to options)

swaybars

6boost manifold to suit Gt30 turbos

castor rods

Gauges

I'm also looking to buy all these all the time so if selling any hell out.

Unsure whether i'm going to keep the rb25 full setup or eventually convert it with a rb30 bottom end although it has been suggested to me that I could use a forged piston and ring set from RacePace motorsport Australia and use GTR rods and a new GTR crank. So basically it would be a 26 with a 25 head. naughty.gif Any thoughts??

define your budget first i say

do you have unlimited money?

there is minimal gains vs $ on cams, cam gears, manifold and plenum

the stock items are fine and its not needed for sub 300rwkw

dont bother with trust mx pipe, just get a 3" split dump in one pipe or 3.5" if you can

it will be cheaper to get a split dump in one pipe

it will be cheaper (should be) to get the pfc boost kit vs a seperate HKS unit

this means less wires and junk, the PFC then enables boost correction and its simple set and forget

Fairly similar to my setup except I dont have any cams yet, you should get about 310-315rwkw with that setup. Only thing different on mine is I'm running a Vi-pec maf-less ecu. I like it more only really because it tidys up the engine bay a little with no afm and just a 4" pipe from my filter to my turbo. I'm also running sard 550's (i'm sure the 5cc's wont make much difference). With your castor rods dont use bush items they're better than the standard liquid filled bush item but I find them still a little sloppy. I'm pretty much running all project-d adjustable arms through mine and fells really stiff. Also get the castor arm tension rod too.

it really depends on your power goal and the amount of $ you have available......i was running 215rwkw from a stock turbo for 2 years and then upgraded but that was my power goal and i got everything with headroom to get more power later on as i am doing now.......currently making 250 rwkw but possibility of making a bit more soon....you dont really need to spend a lot of $$ on cams etc.....i am still running an unopened motor....

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
