Not necessarily, he won't max either the stock injectors or afm with the stock turbo so not much point splashing coin when it isn't needed.

guess so but if the plan is to upgrade to bigger turbo might aswell do it all at once.

As im guessing its not as easy to setup the nistune for injector and afm unlike the pfc

Actually injector and afm swaps couldn't be easier.

For injector swap just enter and old injector cc and the new cc and the nistune software makes all the adjustments for you, just need to do some fine adjustment of the Kconst and latency with a wideband.

AFM is the same, tell the software what the existing AFM is, and what the new AFM is and it makes the changes for you. Once again you just need to do some fine tuning with a wideband.

Just to clarify something, "headers" aren't really an upgrade for turbo cars as it's not as simple as bolting on a set of extractors and off you go.

The standard exhaust manifold is good for up around 300rwkw and generally an aftermarket exhaust manifold is used for a big turbo with an external wastegate.

Your first port of call should be a decent fuel pump and a full, turbo-back exhaust, boost tee (or electronic boost controller) then NIStune and a tune. That should net you close to 200rwkw and you can get used to driving it with some more power. By that stage you'll be needing to get the minor shift kit in to the auto and then you can look for a turbo upgrade.

I can take you for a ride in the wagon if you want, for all intents and purposes the engine is a 34GTT setup, it's just a bit heavier and is 4WD when I want it to be :)

Where about do you live ? Maybe I could bring my car for you to look at ? Haha

Because I think I have an aftermarket exhaust already but not sure what kind or type.It looks like this (ignore my reflection,just washed the car.It looks very shiny haha).

This is what the engine looks like (attached),everything is pretty much stock.Just a podilter,front mount intercooler and the boost set up to 11PSI.

Thanks !

looks like you definitely have a catback exhaust (rear part).

take a photo of the exhaust underneath the car, all the way so we can see how much of the exhaust needs to be done.

I did the full exhaust, intercooler and nistune first and made 190rwkw. This was a great setup. You might be happy here, well at least for a while. Then look at the next step.

I'm in Ashfield mate, just east of the city.

As Harey said, you've already got at least a catback. You've also got a front mount and some more boost, need to sus out whether the fuel pump has been done as well.. kind of hard without pulling it out of the tank!

So really, NIStune and start saving for afm/injectors/turbo.

Plus a hi flow cat and dump pipe most likely.

Chances are the fuel pump is standard. My standard fuel pump was fine even after it was tuned at 190rwkw. The R34 pumps seem to be pretty good and enough for the standard turbo.

Yeah sorry, forgot to say if it's only a cat back then a nice dump/front and a highflow cat needs to go in there too.

As for the fuel pump, I think it's more a case of them not being as old as R32 and R33 pumps but for piece of mind when pushing for more power, needs to be done.

I think I have a full exhaust system but not sure.You guys can be the judge haha.

Here it is...

Looks like a standard front pipe and standard cat.. Jump on justjap.com or similar, and look for a one-piece bellmouth dump/front and a highflow cat (steer clear of cheap Xforce cats).

As for the bodykit.. I believe that's a Z-tune kit.. fkn $_$

Do you where to get a smaller size washer bottle ?

Wanna fit one instead of the stock GT-T bottle (which is bigger) due to having less room after fitting the intercooler kit with cross over pipe.

Nothing off the shelf that I know of but someone like Embleton Engineering should be able to knock you up a neat little ally bottle.

About the same cost to get 250kw as 290 300ish just more lag and different parts eg different turbo, better clutch etc. So you need to decide on your own how much power your going to want and upgrade the usual bits to handle it. Plenty of results/ dyno graphs it the turbo upgrade thread.

Plenty of people asking "what do I need for 250, 280, 300kw etc" and plenty of answers to these questions...

Find these threads and start with the supporting mods first otherwise you will have to pay for twice as many tunes.

  • 4 weeks later...

Okay,finally after I've installed the Nistune ECU and tuned it.

To start with the modifications,I was thinking to buy all these other supporting items as follows :

Z32 AFM

Sard 650cc Injectors

Walbro 255LPH Fuel Pump

X-Force 3" High Flow Cat

JJR Bellmouth 3" Dump Pipe

Please give me any tips or recommendations that you have before I go ahead with my order ?

Cheers rolleyes.gif

A z32afm reads the airflow and sends the info to the ecu. They are used because they can read more flow than the stock afm.

An Apexi SAFC adjusts the signal from the afm in order to try to acheive better afrs - a task much better left to the nistuned ecu.

Consider getting one of the new Deatschwerks pumps instead of the Walbro.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • 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
    • 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.
