So I’ve got a new turbo on the way from Hypergear and wanted check whether I’ve got my supporting mods covered. The handling and brake upgrades etc have been done.

The car: '99 C34s2 RS4-S Stagea

Current Mods:

  • Greddy Front Mount Intercooler
  • 3" Full stainless steel Fujitsubo exhaust and stainless steel front pipe with 3" Venom 200cpi hi-flow cat
  • Nistune ECU
  • Turbosmart Boost Tee
  • Nismo High-Flow Volume Fuel Pump
  • HKS Panel Filter

The turbo: Hypergear ATR43SS2 inc billet comp wheel, oil line and 14psi actuator with Nissan 6bolt OEM assembly.

Mods to be installed with turbo:

  • Nismo 480cc Injectors
  • Z32 AFM
  • Scotty metal intake pipe

Is there anything else I should be considering? Subscribing to the “do it once, do it right” philosophy here, so would much rather spend a bit more on quality parts now rather than have troubles and/or dissatisfaction down the track.

Would it be worth ditching the Turbosmart Boost Tee in favour of a Greddy Profec B Spec II? Is upgrading to a Splitfire coilpack going to make a difference?

Cheers guys.

The t will be fine my greedy boost controller sits in the car not hooked up just ended up using a t much easier to tune with and if your stock coil packs are holding up they will be fine too but some time down the track they will need replacing , have you got the plug with afm

Cool. Yep the one I bought comes with a Tomei plug.

i basically done everything u done above with same turbo except for the injectors and only have cat back zaust.

Main mods i would have liked to have completed if funds permitted would have been injectors, dump pipe, ebc, shift kit, cams & greddy plenum. Its a good turbo by the way excellent midrange

Internal gate, so a EBC might be worth it... depending how hard you want to lean on it .External gates are a different story.

Ill be interested to see how it goes, was so close to getting the ss2

cheers

Yeah I'm worried about it being too laggy... my understanding is that an EBC can help bring boost on sooner?

R34 GTT Brake conversion...

You might as well do oil and plugs while your at it... especially plugs before a tune.

Gaskets (as above) and vac line.

I'm interested to see how you go with the ss2 on a heavy stag.

Cheers

PS... an ebc will only bring the boost on sooner if the actuator is 'blowing' open prematurely. it can't make the turbo spool any faster.

R34 GTT Brake conversion...

It has R33 gts-t brakes with slotted rotors atm.

I should probably mention that I'll be getting this all done at a workshop... I'm not game to tackle something this big!

Fuel pump?

See first post - it has a Nismo fuel pump ;)

Ouch work shop sounds expensive

Yeah it won't be cheap, but at least it will all be installed at once and then tuned. Thus my reason for wanting to make sure I haven't overlooked anything!

Just out of curiosity Andrew, what kind of costs have you been quoted for the new Turbo and Injectors, etc? Interested in doing those upgrades as well, I've got the same (almost identical) Mods to you at the moment, so I'm pretty keen to know what I'd be up for.

In relation to the SplitFire coil packs, I'd highly recommend the upgrade, whether your existing packs are good or not, if you've got the cash to spare, get the new packs, you won't regret it. The existing stock coilpacks will most definitely shit themselves at some stage.

The total for the turbo as described above was $1500 delivered. PM Stao from Hypergear for a quote.

The injectors, I'm getting through forum member 'elrodeo666'. Marcus is able to order directly from Nismo in Japan. The total was $725 delivered.

Who's tuning/fitting it all ?, i got the G3 type A, be interesting to see the difference when finished, mines auto though

Your car will be a allrounder after turbo fitment, looks so bloody good , will have the speed to go with it to !

cheers

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
