Its Been A Long Time Since I Was Here. Have Another 32 Questions On Upgrades Please Help


Recommended Posts

Hello

It has been a while since I posted on here, over a year. I have read the posts but still need some help. Please help. I live in Japan, American, so not Australia, but dont mind buying parts from Australian stores.

I have a new 1992 R32 GTS-T. This time its a manual. My first car died. I am taking parts off of it. I am going to take the RB25 turbo with the HKS aculator and put it onto the new car.

SO far the car has a 3 inch cat back exhaust, split front pipe, stock cat, Apexi air intake and that is all. I am going to add the RB25 turbo as I mentioned. Should I keep the HKS aculator on it or put the RB20 one on?

I am getting a inter cooler also. Will used ones be fine such as ones from Blitz or Arc or used GTR ones? I can find cheap used inter-coolers here for about 100 dollars.

My goal is 300 hp but now I am aiming for 250 hp to start. Should I replace the fuel pump too since I am adding the turbo and inter cooler? If so than I will buy a after market one rated higher so when I start the big mods I will have it.

What else should I add now?

Are the Emanges' still a good option for tuning later?

Help please

What is the HKS actuator set to? If you still have a stock ECU, it will probably go into Rich & Retard mode (R&R) if it's set to 12psi or higher.

Change pump for peace of mind, it's what 18 years old now, no guarantee it will take kindly to the extra power.

Since you are aiming for 250hp, the stock intercooler will do, but at 300hp, you will need a better one, used intercoolers should be fine as long as the fins aren't damaged and you give it a good cleanout. At 300hp even the R34 stock sidemount is a decent upgrade to support that power, but no more.

The ECU is stock. I am not sure what it is set to. The adjusting screw is at the opposite end 80% from the starting point.

So should I switch to the RB 20 aculator?

How do you clean out a inter cooler?

Disappointing we just didnt get to show it     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
