Hey guys, i've just bought a '93 R32 GTST and its as stock as a rock,

apart from 3inch exhaust and im 90% sure its got coilovers, turbo timer, and a hell old boost gauge.

So im currently looking at what would be the best way to get to 300rwhp.

My mate has a 180sx he said he spent about 3k on the engine to get it to 300hp

so i was wondering what are the best mods to help me achieve this.

things im looking at getting first (due to cash flow)

-FMIC

-Electronic Boost Controller

-RB25 turbo??

-injectors??

I've been told front mount is $500-600 second hand, and a electronic boost controller is quite a bit.

Probs got about 2k to spend, but any ideas/how your set-ups are would be awesome to get an idea!

Hi

Welcome the website.

What you are asking is rather common, and there is plenty of information available for you.

1. Dyno thread, have a read, see what other people have done

2. FI Guide, plenty of links there for the beginner to read

You'll soon see $2000 is nowhere near enough to make 220rwkw. If your budget is that tight i'd suggest leaving it as is.

ECU & tune = 1500

GTR injectors = 200

Turbo = 1000

FMIC = 600

Labour/gaskets/fittings/other stuff that might go wrong etc = 500-1000

Nistune Chip in your ecu + a tune will cost around $500

New Front mount will be $400 - 500

GTR injectors around $200 - Set aside another $250 for cleaning, flow testing, new o rings and resistor pack

Hiflow your turbo for $900 No need for a boost controller yet, just get a 1.2kg actuator with the hi flow(Boost controller ca be added later)

That should do more than 300rwhp

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
