Would probably wanna go a bigger set of turbos as well depending on what power your chasing

700cc injectors will tale u up to around the 360-400rwkw mark depending on who tunes it

Some people like to throw in some mild cams as well though some would say stock are fine

Probs want at least 3 1/2 inch exhaust as well

Thanks for the advise guys. From what people are saying, I might just leave the standard injectors and AFM's and get it tuned at 16-19psi. And just see what I get. The injectors have been Sonic cleaned, flowed & tested with new caps, so they would atleast be in good healthy condition. And the AFM's have been properly cleaned aswell.

Yep, good plan. If the injectors hadnt already been cleaned then i'd suggest replace them and dont bother with the FPR. When you do upgrade the injectors you wont need the FPR anymore, but since you're pushing the stockers to their limit, it will be useful.

Re: cam gears, sounds like you can include them now since the injectors and afms are out of the picture :thumbsup: They're not essential of course, but if you were to add them later you'll need to pay for another tune.

EDIT: If you have N1 cams, the cam gears will be less useful.

get bigger injectors incase you want to increase your power down the track, saves you doing it again.

Cam gears, waste of time as a lot of tuners dont bother playing with it. Just put in a set of Tomei Type B Poncams 260/260 9.15mm lift. :)

300awkwkw easy peasy

I'm not even sure what the FPR even does lol. Just heard the Nismo one is a good upgrade. So your saying with standard injectors, its not necessary for a FPR?

Yea still deceding. I wanted to see how these standard injectors go, since they've been all cleaned & reflowed. and I'm after 300rwkw. wont want to keep chasing more.

Yea I heard Cam gears are a bit overkill, unless your getting serious about your car. But each to their own.

Re: FPR - no, other way around. The FPR can be used to raise the pressure in the fuel rail, so the injectors flow a bit more. Its a hack, but if you only need a little more flow, its economical. If you getting bigger injectors there's no need for the extra flow from bumping up the pressure, as they will have enough flow already.

On RB26s many people have had good results using adjustable cam gears. The argument to avoid them because the tuner may not touch them, should be an arguement to get a better tuner, rather than to avoid the gears! For Cost/benefit, most setups will find cam gears a far better alternative than aftermarket cams. Anyways, they're certainly not required.

Cams gears on a RB26 are the best value modification short of upping the boost, which is free.

Cam gears for sure, tuners that don't touch em are I lazy to pull the cover and adjust em. I no my tuner would pull the covers off and change em, because he no's he will get a better result by doing it. I've got a FPR on my car, rail pressure bumped up alil bit, and I make 312 kw easy, factory afms, and injectors. Don't listen to all this bullshit about changing injectors now, it won't make any diffrence.

If u are going for more power, than change the injectors, your Gunna have to get it retuned to make the more power anyway, don't waste ya money.

Get it tuned as it is. Put some cam gears on and be done with it. It will take u a lil while to get over the 300kw

Thanks Deano, Im not after more than really 300rwkw, so I like the what you said. Power FC, Boost control kit, Nismo fuel pump, Nismo FPR, cam gears, and a tune on 16-18psi. See how I go hitting 300rwkw!! :)

Don't really need the fuel pump either mate lol

It is good insurance though

Really? that saves me $500, I can always drop one in later, if I find it's not flowing enough after the tune. So all I need is the Power FC, boost kit, Fuel Pressure Regulator, cam gears. and im set. Awsome!

Hopefully on my freshly run in N1 spec motor with the N1 turbo's i'll get close to my 300rwkw on 17 psi or so.

Appreciate all in the input guys.

Stock pump is fine for your power levels, still has a fair bit in it

Also buy your parts from rhdjapan... Heaps cheaper ;) I paid 350ish for my nismo pump and 660 for my sard 800cc injectors

Hi guys, just a quick update, and just need some advise before I go spend more money lol... A background on the car.

I bought the car with a fully rebuilt motor to N1 specs. Has 2000km on it. The turbo's are the R32 GTR ones that have been profesionally stripped out, rebuilt with Steel wheels & internals to all N1 specs. So I guess they are New N1 turbo's. Car just has a 3'' from the turbo's, de-cat pipe and then 3.5'' to the back. HKS Pods. My power goal is 300rwkw, idealy 300-320rwkw but no more. That's enough for me on a street only car. Iv'e just gone out and bought all this brand new:

Apexi power FC & Hand controller

Apexi boost control kit

Nismo fuel pump

HKS Cam gears & HKS belt

**In the process of getting Nismo 600cc's or Sard 700cc's**

My main question is, will these parts with 16-19psi on my motor; get me 300rwkw or do I need to upgrade the AFM's aswell?? I was looking into buying the Nismo AFM's, but thats another $900. Am I better to keep that money or go out and buy them now. Keeping in mind my goal is 300-320rwkw and won't be looking for more power in the future. Ive already spent a heep on money on those other bits, just want to know if I need to get these AFM's aswell for my goal.

Much appreciate your input guys.

Cheers

You will not need afms's youll make 300 with the factory ones.

Save your money for later

OP, your rebuild N1 turbos will be old R32/33 tech, so they wont spool as well as R34 N1's.

I'd also swap out the decat for a 3.5in metal matrix cat. It will be far better for the environment, the colour/cleanliness of your rear bar, and your wallet if you get caught ;)

Yea I realize there just rebuilt R32 turbo's. Im not sure apart from rebuilding it with steel internals, if they high flowed or put other's housing's in it. I'll have to find out. But I think they did it all properly as they specialize in rebuilding and high flowing turbo's. But I can't afford a new set of turbo's and these should be fine for 300rwkw.

Yea the cat is a good idea too. Thanks

Well im glad I don't need to fork out more money for AFM's if my stock ones will flow 300rwkw. They have been cleaned aswell if that helps.

You must change the fuel pump.

It is cheap insurance really, everything else you keep talking about isn't required - but the fuel pump definitely is. It is just a ridiculous gamble for a $400 part.

If you find out it's now flowing enough 5 months later, when the engine pings and destroys itself - you'll wish you'd changed it.

    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
    • Hi, Will the R33 GTR rear brake backing plates fit a GTST? I'm struggling to find GTST ones but can find new GTR ones.   Thanks.
    • I also got the same floor mats for a bit of extra bazzaz haha
    • Some more close up pics now that I’m back to working on the car, the loop pile is nice but again haven’t compared it to the other types in person, it’s hard to tell from the pics on the website. View of the hemming on the edges too, it comes in 2 pieces - front and back, honestly very happy with it for anyone on the fence.  Also attached my previous pics from further up as it didn’t let me post them directly before. (Nothing worse than photo bucket pics that aren’t hosted anymore years later)
