Hey guys I’ve got a ADM S15 SR20DET all I’ve done is added a pod filter and completely removed the BOV and blocked it 

Planning to add these mods 

Free flow air filter 
Free flow exhaust 
Upgraded fuel pump 
Boost controller
Front mount intercooler 
Colder spark plugs 
Custom ecu remap 

Z32 AFM? 

Just wondering do I have to upgrade injector,fuel rail and turbo? Or can my stock turbo, injectors and fuel rail handle it Aiming to get 200rwkw I don’t mind if it’s a bit less than that and not needing to upgrade the turbo, injectors and fuel rail 

and can i still run with without a BOV

sorry for the noob questions any help will be appreciated thank you

I don't know what the limit of the S15 turbo is, but it will likely be in the 200rwkW region, so max it out and be happy. I think the max boost territory is 18 psi. You should really google a bit to find out.

You will not need to upgrade the fuel rail, ever.

I have no idea what the limits of the injectors are. What are they? 440cc? 480cc? Either of those should easily be enough to support 200 rwkW, but you will almost certainly need that fuel pump upgrade.

You can't just "custom ecu remap" your ECU. Well, you kind of can, but it's a bit 1990s. Nobody f**ks about with that stuff much any more. You should get a Nistune daughterboard installed in the ECU. That is real-time tuneable.

Don't f**k about with colder spark plugs unless the engine shows that they are needed.

Air filter is a waste of time.

I have no idea of the limit of the SR20 AFM. It is maybe possibly less than 200rwkW. If so, then you would want to upgrade to a bigger one. But no-one in their right mind would put a Z32 AFM onto a car these days, since the availability of the R35 and similar card type AFMs. Nistune can handle them.

I would never run without a proper recirculating BOV, especially on an AFM car.

Depending on the dyno, the stock turbo, injectors, afm will make it to 180-200rwkw at around 16-18psi boost. The fuel pump definitely needs to be upgraded. A Walbro 255 is perfect for your goals, just make sure it's genuine (there's lots of fakes going around). You will also need a good bell mouth dump pipe (turbo elbow) and 3 inch exhaust. Off the shelf will be fine for your goals. A decent sized intercooler is also needed. Nistune is my recommendation for the ecu. 

 

With e85 you can get to around 220rwkw on the stock turbo but will need even bigger pump, injectors and possibly afm. 

 

200rwkw in an s15 is quite a nice happy medium.

The above info is right. A pod filter is an upgraded air filter for the engine, so you kind of already have that.

The stock turbo is metal wheeled in a S15 so it can handle higher boost pressure and as above, 190-220kw is doable depending on how hard it is pushed and what fuel you use (E85 vs 98 etc).

Get a good solid exhaust, good solid intercooler, I too don't know if injectors and pump are up to the task of maxing out the standard turbo, but a modest goal like yours should result in actual happiness and a fun vehicle that isn't constantly broken.

Try to resist the urge to go mental and impress people on the internet with a car that sounds great on paper but can't be used for anything cause constantly broken, which is a very real thing that people with big power cars kinda don't disclose very freely.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
