Car, engine, current modification level? What about getting your handling/braking sorted first? More important to be able to stop your car than go fast.

Otherwise, search in the dyno thread results for a power level you might want to achieve, then have a read of the mods required to do it. Then base your purchase by priority if you have to do it part by part.

ie; before getting a gt3076r, think about getting a ecu (afm or maf?), then exhaust, fmic if you feel the need, injectors, pump, etc.

^ thats hardly accurate anyway.

It was just ripped from the pages of this forum by someone who had no idea what he was ripping.

As if upping the boost to 10psi only gives 10rwkw - thats where MOST of the gains come from.

I think there are enough build threads these days not to warrant a guide to modding thread... R33s are probably the simplest car to mod, all you need is to buy a fairly unmolested example and the outcome is anyones game.

OP just try and keep your car as simple as possible. Power mods to a STOCK car as follows:

JJR bellmouth dump, 3" cat, 3" catback (feel free to go bigger)

JJR cross flow intercooler (feel free to get a better quality item)

Turbotech boost tap (feel free to use an EBC)

Walbro or Bosch fuel pump

Get it on a dyno and turn the boost up till just before you hit cut, should do 180rwkw on 9 or 10 psi.

Add turbo of choice (from highflow to GT30 style item or high mount and external gate, do the reading and pick your poison)

Add injectors/Z32 afm/ECU and tune to suit the turbo change

The described above could easily get you up to 350rwkw on pump fuel with the right turbo choice. If something fails, you tackle it individually to the above, like coilpacks. They are not NEEDED unless your stock ones fail, and then new stock items are usually best again.

Thats all you need to know, now you have to do lots of reading.

Goodluck,

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
