Someones having a worse day then me. :P Rule of thumb figures are:

- $1500 for a manifold,

- $3000 for a turbo

- $800 wastegate

- $800 injectors

- $2500 ECU installed and tuned

- $1500 intercooler installed

- $1500 exhaust installed

- $1500 clutch and flywheel

Then youll have a car with plenty of power but lacks the niceties such as:

- $1200 cams installed

- $2500 suspension

- $500 brake pads and fluid

It aint cheap.... for more detail then the above, then thee SEARCH button is our friend.

Thats rough figures, for new bits at retail...shop around you can get cheaper new/2nd hand and different brands

Its cool to dream. :)

Mods take time and lots of money.

As soon as he realises how much he is really up for he may be happy with just 200rwkw or so..

As soon as you start hitting 250rwkw you have to be prepared should a motor to let go. There's another 6.5K.

Before you know it you've spent as much on the car as what its worth.

Do it in stages..

Exhaust, FMIC, bigger fuel pump, ECU then look at the suspension turbo manifold and injectors.

Go for a ride in benms car before you start thinking about needing a bigger turbo straight up. A well sorted std turbo R33 can be made to boogie :)

Like Joel said, its nota bad idea to get the basics out of the way (in order) like exhaust, filter, intercooler, cam gears, ECU, clutch...then by the time you are ready for a turbo you will have all the support systems with the exception of fuel pump and injectors which are dependent on how big you go.

I wouldnt call it dreaming, its planning ahead...i wish i had followed a more logical path to modifying my car...woudl have saved a lot of money and probably have twice the power...but its wise to have an idea of what it al costs before you start.

To get 300rwkw you will need an engine build with forged pistons.

Anything over 350rwkw and you will need a set of forged rods.

Simply doing an RB26 transplant isn't really worthwhile.

You are better off spending the $$ on a good set of forged rods.

Not many people go down this road as it is serious $$.

Even with 250rwkw be prepared to shell out for a rebuild should the thing pop.

If you want it to be reliable you will need to drop the compression ratio with a thicker head gasket, fuel pump, injectors, exhaust, fmic and an ecu.

Then on top of that all the labour to fit the headgasket, injectors and tuning of the ecu.

This will blow out to a lot more than you realise.

How much are you planning to spend honestly.

How much do you think you can afford?

What mods are already done?

So your std turbo is stuffed?

I would scour the forums for a cheap second hand RB25 turbo.

Spend $150 or so for a dyno run to check the af's.

If it is leaning out spend the rest on a decent fuel pump.

If you have already got the fuel pump sorted, spend the $$ on a PowerFC then save up for a little to get it tuned. Tuning is generally around $400-$600.

That will give you a big power increase depending on mods. :rofl:

      Front Tyres on R34 GTR, fitment, etc, *question*

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I have a question with regards to R34 GTR guards. All the info here is quite old. Useful, but old. At what point does the bumper itself become a clearance issue with wide wheels on a R34 GTR, specifically the part I've drawn in red here: All of the info that people post about implies that 285 is as far as you'd go before scrubbing becomes an issue, but they speak of hitting the inner plastic liners, not the bumper itself. Just how wide could you go if you took the liners out? Has anyone done it? I have been messing with my own car and spacers and heavily cursed my lack of planning, but I might not feel so bad if there's actually no gains to be had by going a GTR guard and front bar combination for $5k+ of money I do not have after spending about that much already on my solution which now has problems. (Woo) At least I now know why GTR guards and bumpers flare out like this over their GTT lesser cousins. I feel that in 2024, someone has gone further and attempted to run 315's or somesuch on the front of a R34 GTR. If you have, please post. If you're tried and failed for some other reason definitely post so I feel better about my mistakes

      URAS Type R R34 GT GTT Widebody Front Guards

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Genuine URAS Type R front guards in FRP. These will fit a GTT. They will only fit a GTT. If you have a GT or GTT and want wider fenders with a Z tune look up top, this is what you want. You use this with a regular GTT fitment bar. Not a GTR bar. They fit GTT guard liners and plastics, not GTR items. So if you're reading this thinking "Ah! I have a GTT or GT and want wider front guards that bolt directly on, but do not want the hassle of changing my bonnet and bumper and plastics and undertrays or anything else, this is what you want. The fitment is annoyingly perfect. I really would rather someone pick these up in person and not ship them. SE Melb.

      Big Brake Kit for ECR33

      By pogman · Posted

      hey mate so i was in a similar position needing something better than oem for track but also wanting it to look the part, i went for APG APG Performance Brakes they are a solid price and i have had no issues with any of the components from them. the rotors and pads can be swapped out for all the usual brands just ensure you are getting the right sizes. i have just a front kit on my car. i would recommend upgrading to a bigger master cylinder as they are a bigger calliper so you can actually notice some increased braking performance
