that is a beautiful base car to start with. Really just needs rims and you're set. The right offsets are crucial as you won't be able to get this thing that low with how deep your kit is.

go for 19X9's in the mid teens and you will be laughing. eg (19x9 +15)

very jealous - but hope you enjoy washing your car, going to have your work cut out for you with black!

..dont remind me. :glare:

guys hoping you could give me some advice on a fuel pump. I'm not looking to rack up huge numbers or anything, but would like to adjust power for street/daily use.

a few people have recommended the Deatschwerks 300LPH In-Tank Fuel Pump which is appealing because its e85/ethanol compatible

..or Walbro Fuel Pump GSS342 which does less LPH (255), but not sure if e85 compatible.. could someone confirm? Would it be necessary/beneficial to get the larger Deatschwerks?

so far ive collected 660cc injectors, z32 AFM, boost controller..

Cheers!

My power goal is around 250+.. but... thats not set in concrete. :no:

There is an exhaust system installed, not 100% where it begins (turbo/dump back).. and will most likely get some new cats in there too. I assume there are compliance cats in there. The down-sides of living away from home.. no tools. :yucky: Any suggestions on an exhaust system?

I have a z32 AFM in my hands, and currently awaiting 660cc injectors, boost controller to arrive. I'm still on the search for a FMIC.

I'd like to get most of these in my possession and install it all at once.

Then top it all off with nistune.

As for turbo, I think I might just run the stock turbo for awhile.. then look into getting it rebuilt.. OR a new larger one? ohhhh.. the decisions...

How does that all sound? Feel free to suggest anything..

if you're keeping the stock turbo - the injectors, fuel pump, Z32 etc are not needed.

Stock turbo will run 12psi safely, or 14psi for an unknown amount of time before throwing a wheel.

12psi will get you around 200-210rwkw - if you want any higher than that then you need to upgrade the turbo (hi-flow, GT30, TR43) at which point (but not before) all those other bits will become useful.

if i were you i'd take care of your plugs, coils (if needed), get a high quality oil in, do your exhaust properly, FMIC, get a nistune ecu in, an EBC and the 12V+ mod to your stock fuel pump and get it tuned by a pro - that will net you 200rkw.

if you want any more power than that, its new turbo time - and then you can throw on all thoese other bits you have. you're wasting your time and a tune putting them in before you have a turbo that can supply enough air to take advantage.

EDIT: for your FMIC, check out just jap and their cooling pro turn flow kits.

dont know what i'm looking at here? weeping rear rocker cover?? v-common..... try screw it down tighter for a quick fix - otherwise it's a pretty simple job to remove and replace.

    • I thought I'd heard rumor of someone that was developing a 6 speed kit to convert the 5 speed box. But maybe I was thinking of the PPG 6 speed sequential? That's about half the price of a car...  
    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?
