Hi Guys, Newbie here so ill take the necessary flack if this was posted somewhere before; just point me in the right direction if it was already posted.

Waiting for my 09 250GT and was wondering what options have when it comes to the following:

1. An intake system (was looking at R2C Performance and Stillen Gen3 but i don't know if those would fit)

2. An exhaust system, whilst i want the power I don't want the noise so I'm willing to sacrifice power for db level on this one.

3. Brake upgrade system (not a big brake kit) but one that can withstand hard mountain side driving without brake fade and add better stopping power.

In the end if I can get 20-30 rwHP more without sounding like a 19yr old on the road I'll be happy (apologies to all 19yr olds)

The upgrade options should require little or no modifications to the car itself.

What options to I have?

Thanks in advance.

I'm confused, if you want more performance, why did you buy the 250GT? The 350 or 370GT would have been a better option.

Sorry, not sure what options are available to you.

EXACTLY what I was thinking. Why would you bother?

Comes down to one word ... "cost"

Our import laws are based on engine capacity and age of vehicle. So on my budget it was either this or a 2005 350 GT or relatively high mileage 2006.

So with that said, im not trying to set a land speed record, 20-30 hp and some decent brakes would do me just fine for now.

Coming from a Subaru Legacy GT so need to make up for the loss of power and added weight.

Any help is appreciated.

Looking at it i figured I'd need a bit more, but this looked like the best way to start.

Any ideas, the Stillen Gen3 or R2C intakes look to be the choice for the G37 guys in the US, but I'm not sure of the fit for the RHD.

Anyone have any suggestions.

Not trying to put a damer on your question, but I am not sure if there is anyone else on here with a V36 250GT. There are a few wtih V35 250GTs, but they run the VQ25DD engine. You have the VQ25HR, so performance items might not be interchangable.

The US forums may be your best bet for further info, there are probably a few 2.5L G37 owners on there, especially as you have mentioned the items above.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
