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

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
