Have you got a pod filter installed? that will make your spool louder aswell as the low revs fluttering but, if you want the flutter louder again get a metal intake pipe and if you want Vl style tsuuuu tsuuuuuu tsuuuuuuu fully hectic brah flutters you need to block off your bov altogether.

You can pick up a lot of good basic mods cheap second hand btw. Other than that simple things like intercoolers, boost T's, pod's and exhausts can be had on ebay cheap new. People will tell you that "oh noes is not japanese it will break " Which is a crock of shit Ive used plenty of cheap basic parts and none of it has failed me yet nor had any side effects. Theres cheap parts you can buy new and then theres stuff you dont buy at all.

If you were I (CWHUTIDIDTHAR) my first line of mods would be:

  • pod/panel filter (Imo I prefer pod filters in a cold air box compared to panel filters in the stock airbox ) *You can make yourself a cold air box out of aluminium sheet pretty easy or steel if your on a budget.
  • exhaust
  • FMIC Intercooler 600x300x75 with 2.5 inch piping max for a standard rb25
  • Electronic boost controller or boost T + gauge (to wind the boost up a little)

That should get you started on the power train and not cost much if you dont go electronic boost controller

Go and do a skid now :P

    • You won't make it out of your driveway. Both your rear wheels will go in whichever direction they feel. Your Hicas rack or a lockout bar is required to keep your wheels straight. 
    • Updating results.  Using ATR45SS-0 model VS UHF57-900. Those two are very different turbos, different wheels sets with different wheel hub profiles but yet with almost identical result. I’m intrigued with both turbos performance. ATR45SS-0 was a 61mm turbo first developed in May 2020, UHF57-900 was a 62mm turbo developed in March 2024 as a powered up alternative of a G30-900. On paper ATR45SS-0 maxed at 563rwkws, while UHF57-900 maxed at 568rwkws. ATR45SS was slightly more responsive with slightly better power band through the mid range.  Road driving ability, ATR45SS-0 had better throttle response, felt more robust under throttle, as it wakes up earlier. I think G series wheel hub design made it to have higher inertia under light throttle. Doing bit more prototype work in the next few weeks, will update result when its back on dyno again. ATR45SS0 Blue, UHF57-900 Red Chequered tuner's Dynapack hub dyno, E85 fuel. Mod list is in video below video_20240604_114214.mp4    
    • Did you run the power cables for the mac valve to the other side of the car near the fusebox? Utilizing the stock boost controller cables? or did you run new ones?
    • Hey I have a potentially stupid HICAS question 🤣 I'm currently doing a full hicas delete, Power steering pump modified to non hicas, all lines removed from the car along with all electronics. My stupid question is - Do I need a lock out bar? is there any reason why I cant just remove everything from the rear end? I already have a lock out bar but thinking to save a few extra grams I could also get rid of the arms and tie rods as well and just run it with nothing in its place? or would it have a negative effect on handling?
