if you're going to upgrade the Turbo (why not when you can get stock like response but a heap more power) go for the Hypergear SS highflow - around 250rwkw and very similar response to stock. You'll prob need a Z32 AFM, but you MIGHT be able to get away with it. I maxed the resolution at around 240'ish rwkw on my old GTT.

You'll need a GOOD intake pipe made up as well if you switch turbos. The old 'shove a metal pipe in' has it's limits, you'll need something custom made up - DON'T go the silicone options, waste of time. Metal, metal, metal.

Injectors are a much easier deal now-a-days, just grab some Injector Dynamics injectors. Start around the 725cc mark, but i'd prob just get 1000's to allow for E85 :D Or get the 'no-name' variety of Bosch EV12 (i think) style injector, that's what the ID's are based off.

I went nistune, hypergear highflow, stock airbox, stock BOv, highflow panel filter, return flow IC (plus other supporting mods) for bout 5+ years with GTT - never any cops drama's at all. Make sure the exhaust isn't too loud, and following all the great advice already in this thread you'll have a mean car that's still quite stealth. 250rwkw in a GTT is a lot of fun :)

But please please look into your tyres/suspension/brakes as well.

Swaybars, do eeet! Cheap and fantastic handling upgrade - Whiteline.

Tyres, my car liked the KU36's, but alternatively i'd prob splash a few hundred more on some AD08's from tirerack

Brake cylinder stopper, check ebay, very cheap.

Check brakes over, bleed, put some good fluid in etc (RBF600)

But yeah, would be a good idea to check the spring rates if you can. Get some swaybars for sure though! :D

have fun

Listen to this!! +1

yep.. stock parts work the best in some cases.. that goes for FPR, BOV's etc

what if i continued using the hks bov and add a plumb back adapter to it? would it be better than stock bov?

will the sound still be loud? and will it be defected?

thanks

It will be still quite loud, louder than stock, being as it is shiny you will probably get incorrectly defected for it (it is legal if plumbed back) no matter how much you show them it is in fact plumbed back.

It won't be any better than stock for your goals.

The standard bov is a recirculating bov which means it is allowing some air out even off boost. In that way it is different to all aftermarket bovs. This means that the tune will have to cover this up. My tuner recommended keeping the factory bov as he said its easier to tune and normally ends up with a much nicer result.

can you elaborate on this please?

The stock bov is recirculating, as in it recirculates the air back to the intake and doesn't release it to atmosphere, though some does leak back out the air filter. If you have it vent to atmosphere it means the air is metered by the AFM, but is then vented to atmosphere, this means the car injects fuel for air that isn't there and hence runs rich when throttling off causing backfires and stalling issues. Also the stock bov leaks on vac and idle, essentially bypassing the turbo intake which is a restriction on vac which is a nice feature.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
