Well cheapest mod to get u more power instantly is a bleed valve, but before u do that you might aswell upgrade 2 important things

sell ur safc buy a power fc (reasonanly cheap - great results) or better, and upgrade ur turbo one which doesnt change the ext wastegate i.e direct bolt on (HKS 2530/2535/2540) or highflow ur standard (might aswell get hks)

then throw it on dyno - boost up and tune - and from their upgrade further items if required (afm / injectors etc)

Also make sure it is a 600hp fuel pump u have, u dont want it failing (dyno will show u figures of fuel leaning etc)

if ur running stock suspension id suggest getting aftermarket, otherwise ull have problems gettin the power to the road - and a heavy duty or button clutch

thankz for ya help blade anything else u can think of? also what type of suspension would i need?what the stop i should expect for my gt power wise? also what ype of injectors would i need? and for price im on a very tight biudget unforuntely lol (apprentice life) thankz for ya help blade

Um i thought they said it was auto???

Yeah basically it depends on how much $$$ u have got 2 spend & what areas u would like 2 concentrate on most, i recently got a whole pkg type thing done..was definitely worth the money tho.

p.s. do not buy a bleed valve, would b better off in the long run 2 buy an electronic boost controller..will hold boost properly instead of fluctuating up/down like a bleed tee.

the power fc wont work with the auto, it will do jerky gear changes and made the auto box angry. most aftermarket engine management ecu's dont deal with auto at all. your current best option is the safc which you have or a remapped ecu (check out for sale section re: remapped r33 ecus $250 special at the moment). as for bleed valve you already have some good hardware why buy a crap $100 bleed valve? get a hks ez 3 ($350 ish second hand) as its an electronic boost controller and wont bleed/spike and would probably be much more suited

before doing injectors / ext gate turbo / etc get your auto box checked and strengthened. your local auto shop should be able to do a "stage 2" upgrade it which should allow for quicker gear changes and a snappier response also make the box stronger so it doesnt go bang. for suspension at the least get a pineapple kit (around $300 i think) and then look at a whileline works kit if you want ($2000 retail ish?) for a complete upgrade. what tyres do you have? tell me they arent like 225's or something stupid, 255s are you friend

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
