Hi

I'm just about to get my tax return & am thinking this will be good money to do the next stage of mods to my car, or atleast a stash for when i have enough to do a whole lot at once.

My car is currently putting out 309 rwhp (230 rwkw) @ 12psi which im guessing is around 370 hp (275kw) @ the engine.... My goal is to get my engine towards 450 hp (335 kw), by the time its at the wheels, maybe 260 - 270 rwkw? Please correct me if you have better estimations.

This is my car & current performance mods:

r33 GTS25T 95' Series 1.5

GTR Front Mount Intercooler

GTR Fuel Pump

T3/T4 HighFlow VL Turbo *internal wastegate

Apexi S-AFCII

GReddy Profec B Boost Controller

Blitz Dual Turbo Timer

Blitz Open-Atmosphere BOV

3" Exhaust Turbo Back

HighFlow Cat

MegaFlow Twin 2" Tip Muffler

K & N Pod Filter

Iridium Spark Plugs

Brass Button Clutch

Locked Diff

Works Rims

10" Wide Rear Tires

Aftermarket shocks

Front Strut Brace

Always run 98 Octane BP Ultimate

Stock RB25DET engine.

Stock Headgasket, Injectors, Cams, ECU.

Stock AFM, Throttle body, Plenum.

Current Max Power

309 rwhp (230 rwkw) @ 12 psi

This is all I can think off, might be another 1 or 2 small things… Anyway.

So i've been thinking a bit about my next mods & would really like some information & prices about the following mod subjects

Total mod prices are estimations / guesses, could be 2nd hand or brand new, prices should include installation.

Next Mod 1: Power FC

Total Mod Price: estimated $1600

Now I'm not sure whether to get a 2nd hand one or brand new, im thinking i'd like to get a 2nd hand one with hand controller for around $900 - $1000.

Once i have this i'll need a full on tune which will cost around $500 i believe, but! i wont get a power FC installed or tuned before i get the next mods installed @ the same time i think.

Next Mod 2: 550 cc Injectors or 440 cc GTR Injectors?

Total Mod Price: Anywhere from $400 - $1000

Ok so to make 450 hp im going to need some better injectors, i'm planning to run max boost of 18 - 19 Psi. What injectors could do this for me, could the GTR ones cut it? & are 2nd hand injectors acceptable after being cleaned.

Next Mod 3: z32 AFM

Total Mod Price: $300 - $500

From what i've read the stock AFM is getting maxed out at around 230 - 240 rwkw. I know im going to need one of these.

Next mod 4: Misc parts, Fuel Rail?,Oil Catch can, any suggestions what else i'll need?

Total Mod Price: $200 - $500?

Depenind on what injectors i'll need, might need certain fuel rail, with this power *450hp* do i need a oil catch can... please suggest other parts i should get.

Ok so whats the plan?? I think i'll save & buy all these parts @ once & get them all installed at the same time, get everything set up & done once. With all the part installed I'll get a full dyno tune & see how much power we can make @ 18 - 19 psi. Posibly might need new Headgaskets too. another $800 right there. Running 18 psi i'd like to make around 255 rwkw. I'd really like to see how much power my turbo can make... in good time it'll happen.

Now this is my simple understanding of what to do next, Any feedback with people who have went through this stage of modding, "Stage 2, Stage 3?" your feed back would be greatly appreciated, & for all the people who simply know what parts work well with what, your suggestions / comments would be great too!

Why am i trying to max out my gtst? Well if i end up making 450 hp one day i know i cant make any more power on stock internals and i think this may satisfy me 'I'll probably then just spend my money on body kits & making it look phat hahah".... If i can have one of the fastest 33 gtst's going around on a stock engine & internals I'll be very happy, its not how fast your car is, its how fast your car is in comparison & for the situation. While my long term goal is to get that r34 GTR, then with the 34 GTR its not about comparison no more coz the things are king of the mountain anyway! hahah.

Cheers! :P

before you do anything, make sure your exhaust is at least 3inches all the way through. so get rid of the twin 2inch muffler and get something with a larger diameter (a single 3inch tip is larger than two 2inch tips). even better to go for a 3.5inch cat back exhaust.

I've actually got a dirty big HKS Hyper muffler but arnt using it because its WAY too loud... the drone that thing makes... It's just asking for cops to bust yo ass... The twin tip works great with cops... looks stock, but yeh, i know its going to be restrictive... if only i could get that big f*$ka tail pipe engineered, wouldnt that be heavenly.

Your doing better than me... i've forgot all maths i learnt in school... & i was only @ school last year... lol Maths... Pffffff who needs it, done nothing for no body *dont take this literally and reply with some bs :wassup:* If you were listening to JJJ this morning Adam & Will had a pretty funny fight about Maths being useless with Adam obviously being Pro Maths... hahahah

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
