Small Mods

[Drift88king]

hello everyone,

I've got a 93 gts-t turbo auto, my ride is currently stock and I wanna modify it.

What do you guys recommend me to start with?

I'm looking for small mods to start with, that won't cost me a fortune. Yeah and it's got a cone shaped air filter installed thats it.

thanks for your time.

What do you want out of the car?

What are your goals?

Have you done much research into what areas of the car can be improved?

What is your current budget and future budget?

Very hard to give you advice if we don't know all the details.

If you want more power, the first thing to do is change the restrictive exhaust system with a full 3" turbo back.

Have a look at the sticky in the Forced Induction section which will answer most of your questions.

fuel pump?

shouldn't need that until ecu upgrade, but then again, you did list the ecu in your list of options.

Power wise, I would roll with, in order:

1. exhaust - bang for buck, this should enrich your hive with the most killer wasps. make sure it's a turbo back exhaust

2. front mount intercooler, and intake. I list these as one, as if you change your fmic, you will most liekly need to change your standard airbox to a pod, due to the change to piping

3. electronic boost controller - debatable, as you can only wind the boost up so much before the ecu kicks in with the fuel cut

4. ecu upgrade - nistune seems to be the flavour of the month. other proven methods include power fc and other well known stand alone units

5. turbo, injectors etc etc. depends on your budget, as now you are entering big bucks territory

on a side note, as you step up the power, braking, handling and drive train upgardes are highly recommended.

the other avenue you could take is improve your suspension and brakes as a starting point and build from there

decent set of coilovers with some nice brake pads will see a big improvement in your driving pleasure.

This would be the smart way to go, as it drastically improves the handling and braking of the car, but most people like to go the power way first and then catch up with the rest

Top of the list I'd say would be a 3" turbo back exhaust, and probably at the same time a high-flow cat.

I always go Fuel pump early on, most of them are pretty tired at this age.

If you're just looking to make your caar a bit peppier you dont have to spend a fortune.

upgrade the intercooler to a front mount or a 34 gtt unit,decent zorst system, T boost controller and something to control air/fuel like safc 2 or nistune. Wind the boost up to around 10/11 lb and standard everything else will see a decent and very noticeable increase over stock after you have it dyno tuned.

As for the auto, Tellemf**kem, One of my lines is a 33 gtst auto and it has to be one of my all time fave cars. Finding one unmolested with low kays really bought home to me what a damn fine car a skyline is.

Personally I'd make sure all the basics are taken care of first before putting more power into it. How many km's has the car done? Has the timing belt and waterpump been done? Engine oil recently been changed? brake fluid, coolant, spark plugs etc. Even doing a cleaning of the aac valve can make a minor improvement in responsiveness, depending how dirty it is of course.
