hello all,

after i nice drive home from my gf 2night, and getting my ass wipe by a wrx and r33 i finally made the choice 2 start the chpt1 of modding in my car :(

so far i have

HKS Super Dragger Exhuast (no dump pipe)

Aftermarket Turbo (still unsure of wat it is)

AirFilter + CAI

Bleed Value

HKS SSQ BOV

Heavy Duty Clutch

Now for chpt 1: i would like to add some boost maybe 12 to 14psi at the moment it is running around stock .5bar :( so far my list to boost the car up to this lvl is

FMIC (hybird 300x700x100 i think is the size)

ECU (wolf3d) Or SAFC 2

Dump Pipe

now i am no pro and i very new to HPI and the turbo stuff so could any give me some tips on if they are good next mods ect ect?

My End goal is 500rwhp MAX (but like i said END GOAL) i would like to make between 270 and 320rwhp now

any tips would be nice, i would also like some tips of brakes, handing ect upgrades

thankyou mike :)

Handling aye...

I've heard great things about the Whiteline Handling Pack, which includes upgraded sway bars, a castor kit and a rear camber kit. Bilstein shocks got some positive reviews in the suspension & braking forum, so you might want to look into those too.

You should really try to find out what turbo it is before you boost it too high though.

    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat 
    • I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
