hey guys just bought myself a cheap r32 to get back into drifting with

have been an sr20/silvia man up till now so know little about whats the best way to go about modding a rb20det, however im guessing the basics are much the same to an sr

not looking to spend much $ at all

all the car has atm is a fmic and zaust and boost tap currently running standered boost atm.

ok so question #1 - are stock r32 fuel pumps as shit as stock silvia fuel pumps, aka soon as u wind up the boost they lack pumping power, how much rwkw can the stockers hold?

#2 2nd hand r33 turbos are cheap as chips, is it worth bolting one on over the standard 32 turbo?

#3 without a after market ecu/tune what is the max but safest boost level to run? assuming i have a r33 turbo on the car

#4 are there any cheap piggy back/ ecu retunes that are popular with rb's

#5 with a tune and r33 turbo whats the likly rwkw i will see? is 180 possible? if so at what kw do the standard injectors need replacing

thanks heaps looking forward to your responses :P

1. Yes. How long is a piece of string? put a decent (read: Bosch minimum) fuel pump in.

2. Yes. Good bang for buck. Untuned, I got an extra 50rwhp and more fun in the top end.

3. Wind it up until it pings. With the stock RB20 turbo my engine handled 14psi and made ~200rwhp. With the RB25 turbo is would only take 12psi (14psi and she pinged) but made ~250rwhp.

4. Plenty, but better off saving up and Nistuning it.

5. 180rwkw with a tune is easy, mine was mkaing 183ish (~250rwhp) without a tune. Stock injectors should be good for almost 200rwkw.

I still have the stock on mine and its going fine at 140rwkw but for peace of mind and at only a few hundred buckes go the 040.

#2 Yep do it, if you can get the 45v2 (the series 2 turbo)

#3 after putting my rb25 turbo on i have 13:1 (dangeresly lean) AFR untill 5000 rpm were it fuel dumps and the AFR become 11.5: (what you wont the whole time) also i gained 2 rwkw (rb20 turbo at 14psi) with the boost set at 5psi.

#4 go with nistune ist about $480 plus tune.

#5 im hopeing for 160-170 rwkw at 12psi.

No they won't, not without fuel pressure bumped up.

3 Possible reasons

1: Dyno readin fudged

2: You Don't have stock injectors(higflowed or a/m)

3: Fuel Pressure Bumped up

1: highly doubt it, reputable tuner here in Perth that I have used a fair bit and he wasn't trying to sell me anything

2: they were completely stock.

3: stock fpr.

Srsly guys, it is NOT a clear cut THIS IS WHEN YOU WILL MAX SOMETHING OUT.

Tell me, who has maxed a stock afm? and the circumstances?

RB20DET, stock afm, stock injectors, stock ecu, 12psi through RB25 turbo, 183rwkw - AFM NOT MAXED

I then went RB30DET, stock afm, stock injectors, stock ecu, 12psi through RB25 turbo, 183rwkw (a lot sooner) - AFM MAXED AT ~6000rpm

But anyway, a dyno is NOT a COMPARISON tool unless you are all using the SAME dyno on the SAME day with the SAME parameters.

If you are going to argue with me about 20hp, then you're a dickhead.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah 路 Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline 路 Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz 路 Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
