I was just about to order myself a Link G4 Plugin today for my GTT! Im still keen on the Link but I'll have a look at these Adaptronics too, they didn't have anything for the GTT last time I checked.

really...no PFC even :blink:

..I know adaptronic have just released one....

Damn another free plug, I should be getting paid for this..

Do you even have all the supporting mods like FMIC, Fuel Pump, ECU, Injectors, Clutch, Diff, Oil cooler, Radiator, Coil packs, AFMs, a FULL fluid service from motor, gearbox to diff ???

Ive got a FMIC, Fuel Pump, Clutch, Coils, only a stock Dump Pipe

I'm fine with people not responding to this anymore unless you want to. I found some examples of what i was looking at and appreciate any helpful replies. I will continue to look into this.

thanks.

ECU

INJECTORS

FULL EXHAUST + HIGH FLOW CAT

EBC - BOOST CONTROLLER

The list will go on...

This forum is full of all the information you would need and there are some good examples in this thread...

The guys will have a joke and its simply the good SAU humour... But the info is already here for your taking so do some reading and good luck

Dont kill anyone :thumbsup:

So you are basically only half way there in terms of supporting mods expenditure.

Spend the $3500, you are going to waste on a turbokit you cannot make any use of, on the remaining supporting mods you've missed. Then you'll be ready for a turbo upgrade.

I used to spend around that crazy amount on pc gear... back before I got a car... rewmeber it took nearly a year to save up for an Nvidia 7800GTX...

took up the one PCI slot plus was so big it covred an express slot below it and it was so heavy with it's massive heatsink I had to make a bracket to hold up one side.

If you are that paranoid about security I imagine you would have a fairly sofisticated firewall possibly behind a proxy with a dmz?

listen to what these guys are saying about mods, like a pc, you can't get some top of the line i7 with a mobo that has onboard gfx and wonder why u can't play any games with a good res and top antiantalising, the system is only as good as it's worst/cheapest component.

eg your clutch, what brand/model? you may have upgraded it and it may only be able to hold 240rwkw and your looking at 300kw+ turbos.

I was just about to order myself a Link G4 Plugin today for my GTT! Im still keen on the Link but I'll have a look at these Adaptronics too, they didn't have anything for the GTT last time I checked.

they were only released a few weeks ago..

At 1499 for the adaptronic the link still probably represents better value for money at 1600.

I think if the adaptronic would drop its price into the 12-1300$ range though It would be a great buy

Have you tried calling GCG Turbos or somewhere like that? They'd give you best advice on what turbo kit you need!!

I'd suggest you get a PFC before you get a kit first but...otherwise your kinda working backwards! And at least 550cc injectors...you don't want your injectors working 100% duty at 4500rpm lol

And thats easy 5g their before labour costs....sucks doesnt it hahaha laughing-smiley-014.giflaughing-smiley-014.gif

It was more that the Adaptronic comes with a usable 4 Bar MAP sensor, rather having to buy a bigger external one for the Link, and it also supports knock control where as you have to buy the KnockBlock for the Link, so with that in mind it's well priced. Still I have decided to get the Link anyway due to the software it uses.

Yes It is still good value, I just think they may be a more popular choice if the price was a little lower.. ;)

The only place I think it loses out over the Link is the the lack of full sequential. But this wasnt a big concern to me..

Trent was going to to do some tests with mine when on the dyno to see how accurate the knock control was too..not sure what happened to that :unsure: I will remind him next time..

but the added map sensor is definately a bonus and I'm using the inbuilt boost control too which was is easy as hooking it up to the stock solenoid, so there really is nothing else to buy, well the only other thing I needed to buy was an IAT sensor for 40$ maybe they will throw that in if you ask nicely..:)

While we are talking turbo upgrades, how do u think this set up would go. I have a s2 R33 with FMIC, Cat back, Pod filter. so im guessing around 180kw at 10psi. So if i was to get a nistune or pfc, a kando TD06 20G internal gate ( i wanna stay internal, i also know about hypergear but i want a kando) and a walbro or tomei fuel pump and run 15psi it should put me up around 230-240kw ? (50kw gain) That a pretty cheap upgrade. Plus other bits and pieces like a custom dump and obviously a tune. I just read the stock injectors will flow enough at 15psi in another thread. im not after 300kw but just something that will come on a bit later and harder than the stocker without breaking the bank and fuel economy.

Stock injectors won't make it past around 230rwkw and even if they do, you'll be loading up the fuel system big time, maxing injector duty etc.

If all you're after is ~250rwkw then, as ARTZ said, get an HG. From what we've seen the Kando internal gate setups aren't fantastic (yet), these turbos only seem to come alive in an external gate setup and then they have potential for a great top end...but that's probably overkill for you, given your modest power goals and desire to stay IG.

No its what you do when you spend 6k on a computer and optimise every component for performance.. none of these posts are at all helping.

$6K?

I built a:

Intel 2011 Socket 6 core "K" processor

Corsair 16gig Ram

Asus z78 Mainboard

2 x SSDs in Raid 0

Watercooling

Nvidia card worth $600

Coolermaster HAF-X Case

Corsair 1150watt Powersupply

Total cost was $2.5k.

If you're spending $6k on a computer, and you're an IT expert, you should leave this site and save us heaps of trouble becuase soon you will be a skyline expert asking us why your car stalls after you have fitted a chirpy, twisty, shiny, flappy ATMO BOV.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
