Jer this is all you need to notice an improvement like what zebra said

Nistune = $400

Tune = $750

Total = $1150

Optional addons

AFM = $200

Injectors = $600

Fuel pump = $200

Coilpacks = $450

Turbo = $900

Plus any parts that aren’t working that are discovered at the tuning phase... :unsure:

I had some nice surprises...

- Coilpacks = $450

- VCT Solenoid = $200

Even after buying an aftermarket pump (bosch 040) It wasn't working properly. Threw in a Walbro = $110

Great surprises!

It was totally worth it though. Fixed some small bugs I had plus the power. Best 3-4k spent on the car

Jez no need for a turbo.

You could go from 150-160rwkw now to 190ish just with nistune and a bit more boost.

Believe me it makes a difference.

Not to mention you can get a big gain in the midrange which makes them a lot of fun

The benefit of a Nistune would be the option to retune for more power with more supporting mods down the track.

ie. injectors and Hiflow etc. (SAFC won't really do this)

I thought the gains would potentially be greater than that for just a Nistune and tune though.

For 2.5k-3k. I would get a Haltech, RB20 Wastegate actuator, a walbro pump and a tune. Should be about $2.7k. Would make about 220rwkw which is heaps.

- Injectors should handle up to 235rwkw

- R34 Stock Turbo should be a OP6 so it's big anyways

- Haltech is better than Nistune.

I think the above prices are not installed, so you would need to include labour. Labour is expensive at between $90-$140 per hour. Haltech, wastegate and pump should be easy to install yourself.

Yeah :( I am kicking myself that any direction over 200kw is at least 3k. Hmmmm

edit: Cheers guys for the info. I think a hard decision will need to be made in the coming of weeks.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
