Updated Upgrade Basket

[5ky-lin3]

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. 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.

missed a FMIC, and I can't see how you would get over 300rwkw with that set up on a 25 unless you are running over 20psi then need a built motor, on a 30 maybe, otherwise more like 280 or so.

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....
