How can it because i want to get a r32 without a turbo because of the insurance and all, but what mods can i get to improve the horsepower, acceleration ect without a turbo.

This is gonna be my first car cos i am 17 now and 18 next year, but i just want some tips on how to improve the peformance of a r32 gts-t skyline without a turbo.

just changing the exhaust system to a larger unit.. opening up the air inlet with a pod or better panel filter should give you a good start.. then you can consider ecu remap or S-AFC.. then extractors. after that mb different cams, and porting the head a little (if you want to go that far into it). Could change the diff if its a manual to auto diff to give u a bit more acceleration off the line.

you have to remember though that the more mods (even if n/a) the more insurance will slug you, especially if you are a p-plater. maybe just keeping it stock for a while might be easiest (even if its just for a year)

Save your money - dont throw your cash away on trying to extract power out of the RB20DE or RB25DE.

Add some simple breathing mods, exhaust, headers & pod filter etc, but leave it at that

With the money you would spend on making the gts faster you could have bought a gtst.

I have thought about getting rid of the rb30e and dropping an rb25de into an r31 but it really isnt worth it. I think the most it would it making at the wheels with some mods would be 110rwkw. I doubt it would have the same torque output even with the same mods.

The rb20de would be even worse, torque is going to be pretty sad. When you have an N/A engine displacement makes quite a difference and is an advantage.

The rb30 with the same mods would have a similar output (90 - 100rwkw) but it would have more torque.

Its been posted up on the forums a few times that the difference between N/A and turbo skylines isnt that much.

If you are serious about modding the rb20de go with what blitz said. Its simply not worth going any further apart from turbo charging it.

I think you'd get from 0-100km/h in around 8.2 - 9.0 secs.

I say, save you money up for a gtst. You will be thankful you did and the turbo makes a world of difference.

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
