hks pod filter

440 fuel pump

full engine flush

new belts all around

hurricane custom 3inch sports exhaust ( cat and cannon )

after market radiator

split fire coil packs

hks elec boost controller

if i remember the other mods ill post

but im lookn at running about 15 psi on high and maybe 12 low waiting too see what the lowest the actour can handle

The safe boost level that you are probably referring to, is if you have standard turbo....

After that is replaced with after-market turbo(steel wheels) the problem is now safe power level for engine output (kw).

May as well tune & run 20psi(or whatever the highest boost efficiency range is) , then use your right foot to achieve desired boost.

Boost pressure has nothing to do with "safe limits" on an engine.

10psi from a T28 is a lot different to 10psi from a T88.

As has been said, the only reason people refer to safe limits of boost pressure is on the stock turbo.

Your HKS actuator on the GTRS is a 1bar item so the minimum it will run is 1bar. They run out of puff at around 19-22psi dependent on engine.

But +1 on what ECU are you running? Please don't say stock.

stock ecu pinch.gif as im still not sure wat one to get my tuner would like me to get the vipec ecu.. but i like the Fcons with hand controller :pirate:

maybe even a nistune ?:S

as for fuel pump i ment the 040 in tank fuel pump

the 440 is the inline version

injectors are stock as im going to do them at the same time as the ecu

my plan was to get the gt-rs turbo on run it at min bar ..

get the head cleaned up

upgrade the pump

timeing belt exc

get some forged items in her belly :) do supporting things water / oil pump then once thats all done lookn into tuneing and injectors 2 match

i drive this car f*k all its a long term thing for me

the 040 pump will be fine for the gtrs, the 044 is the external pump your thinking of...

the vipec ecu seems good from all accounts and so is the nistune but the Fcon is harder to find a tuner for Ive heard, if you want a hand controller go the powerFC, but at the end of the day get what your preferred tuner has the most experience with and recommends...

you say you have 'hurricane custom 3inch sports exhaust ( cat and cannon )' tell me you will have a 3 or 3.5" dump as well....

I wouldnt even worry about a pod filter just run the std airbox with a decent hiflow panel filter or an arc airbox... pods are ghey imo.

Im assuming you meant 'cooling pro intercooler'... yeah.? never heard of a pro cool one...

with injectors keep in mind that E85 is around more and more and to run it you need 30% more fuel flow, more power, less detonation more timing...

Yeah ECU first pretty much in all instances.

Without it, forget running more than 7-9psi as the ECU will simply have a fit, not to mention you need injectors.

Have you even read the "what mods to do first" thread?

The RB25 dyno sticky?

You'll soon notice if you read every GT-RS thread, what the minimum requirements are.

yer 3" turbo back

pod was on it wen i brought it was thinking a nice metal fab'd one

and it would be 'cooling pro intercooler' that was allready on it wen i got it too ...

vipec it is i need to sell my bike and it will be done !!!

(injectors will be done wen ecu gets done ) so i will prob drive it like twice after the turbo goes on

i hae tryed 2 look for posts about the vipec but the button wont let me look it wont even find skylines pinch.gif

If your tuner wants the Vipec then go for it. Fantastic ECU and you will not be dissapointed.

Don't worry about half the stuff you listed that you want to do. Get the injectors and ECU done first.

its all done once i sell bike ecu and injectors :)

YZF400 any1 keen :P

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
