Hi guy im looking at upgrading the turbo on my stock (beside Exshurst) r32 rb20det. Can you please give me a list on what supporting mods i should be looking at buying at the same time. I dont want to buy things i dont need at the moment just anything the motor and turbo will need to function easly eg (intercooler, injectors). Ive been looking at t3/t4 turbos with a high mount manifold. any help would be great thanks.

p.s. i dont know to much tech talk to please keep it simple

Sometimes Ebay is your friend and sometimes it isn't. This is an example of ISN'T.

Definitely good advice to look at a quality hiflowed turbo if you are looking to keep costs down and visibility low.

    • Really, anyone modifying a car isn't being financially smart. We're doing it for the things we love. And honestly, a high revving, light, NA car is actually pretty darn fun. I used to have a Swift Sport, and I miss that thing as a daily, and yes, doing something like some intake and exhaust stuff would have made minimal gains, but would have bought an even bigger smile

    • Yeah, playing with naturally aspirated is not smart bang for your buck power wise, but then I've never been known for being smart when it comes to cars and modifications 
    • I mean from V8 world there are gains to be made in intakes and such over stock items, but definitely only if you tune them. We're talking about I dunno, 10kw here and there on a 300KW v8, gains made by tuning in the 0.2 AFR that it changes so YES but also no you won't notice it other than the sound. Duct the air as mentioned 750,000 times and you will notice happier IAT's which definitely make a difference N/A. I mean my unsubstantiated guess is you'd go from 140kw with everything stock (after cams) to 145kw with everything and a tune :p
    • I decided to "spend baby spend", and "risk it for the biscuit" 2 Orders were made buying parts that I "don't really need but really really want" totalling $2.5k AUD 1: In stock items (intake plenum and throttle body) 2: The airbox thingie, with no real ETA for them getting more stock, so patience will be required
