I'd honestly just go with an exhaust (entire thing, inclusive of cat converter - bashing out or whatever), K&N high flow panel filter, and perhaps a decent FMIC (front mounted inter cooler). Then have the boost set at ~10psi and you should see about 185rwkw from the standard ECU.

Really man, that's the best you'll do from the stock turbo. Once you want more than the stock turbo's capabilities, THEN you should (well, NEED to) upgrade the ECU to accommodate for a larger turbo. Upgraded ECU on stock turbo etc is really pointless, it isn't worth the money.

+1 on that :thumbsup:

My car made 170rwkw before the Nistune on 8psi with the stock turbo and was doughey as hell untill 5000rpm with the Nistune and 12psi it made 203rwkw and was coming to life at bout 3200rpm felt like a completely different car!

i disagree, upgraded ecu even on the stock turbo is a big improvement.

Also, you need to decide what you want to achieve with your car. What kind of power are you aiming for? Example, you do what these guys have suggested (which I agree upon) but if you get bitten by the wasps, you are going to spend much more money replacing these parts you just spent money on. Highflow turbo will only go so far, same with you AFM, same with a remapped ECU, then your clutch, then uh oh you have a race car!

Once you start modifying, it doesn't stop so I hope your budget stretches :D

My suggestion, keep it simple! Your current setup should see 180 to 200 kws once retuned on the right boost and then keep it at that. My old 33 S2 made 210 with only a boost controller to 11psi, fmic, splitfire coilpacks (cause the standard ones died), exhaust and a tune from Toshi in this club.

You drive a Skyline, you can pick up chicks without having an 11ty thousand HP machine. Save your money, upgrade to a GTR. Chicks will then throw their panties at you.

edited out the coilpack remarks because I missed that you mentioned you had after markets

Lol agreed bout the chicks but if you have a 11ty thousand hp skyline you can tear their clothes off under acceleration! Or you could cheat and buy GTR badges and most girls wouldnt tell the difference! haha :nyaanyaa:

Mine mad 192rwkw (Autotech and Ultimate Tunes dynos) on stock turbo 11psi (stock dump pipe into 3" exhaust, FMIC and unenclosed pod filter). Full boost by around 3000rpm IIRC. Pulled quite hard too, was very impressed.

Hahahahaha!

You beat me to it dude!

I was just about to say "Sin you probably own the house this said game is played in" haha

To be honest im not looking to get a car full of killer wasps

Just want a clean responsive street car.

Right now as one of the other guys said it just feels like a sloth in the lower rev range.

Also is running rich and overall just feels like its not pulling like it should.

Really needs a trusted good service + tune and I think ill be happy.

If not then I can go further and start heading into the idea of highflow, injectors , afm etc

What kind of power are you aiming for?

I really can't say the power im aiming for as I wont know until I reach it.

Right now I havent been for a ride in a GTR or an expensive R33 etc.

So I dont know what 250kw feels like or even if already my car is making some good power but I just got bored quick.

My mates think it has a fair bit of power but again they have never been in anything with some good money spent on it

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
