First of all, Welcome to SAU :) especially NA section.

with your question, do some research on Korean based tune site... I doubt they are in english... :D

with faster time, simple answer is less weight :) so start loosing weight in your car or your self :P

Good luck.

btw Thanks for buying Korean car :P you are supporting my ppl. :P kinda :P

get an RB!!!

similar concepts apply to all cars - In my opinion skylines in particularly from 32 onwards, breathe alot better. I do not know about the Daewoo but in my camry, the

air filter is placed behind the battery in the engine bay, and the snorkel doesnt even

get any fresh cool air from the front. But with the funny angles and the positioning of

the airbox, it is simply impossible to install a pod filter.

The best you can do is probably change the panel airfilter and exhaust. There isnt too much

modification wise that you can do without spending mega bucks to get small power gains.

Try to make it breathe alot better, or like Pva_Glue says - just strip the car.

As to why your on an skylines forum - dunno - they may have a Daewoo forum with

others who may be able to help you better. But the concept is still quite relative.

or you can try to use nitrous.

If your serious about making it deadly and are on a tite budget, loose all ur seats mate.. LOL except the drivers side ofcourse, loose all the panels basically just have the necessities, and if u got a spare 1000 - 2000 in ur budget start with extractors , a 2.5" exhaust system and a new air filter

My mate told me i would get more power if i removed the air filter, so i removed it and went to clark rubber and got some flexible piping i screwed to the bottom of the front spoiler for a cold air intake. It makes a bit of a turbo noise now, yay! :P

I also went to the extreme of removing the headers and cutting it just before the cat. It gives it some extra watts and makes a nice noise, but its slightly too loud and too illegal so i will have to figure something out, in the mean time i will just enjoy what i have.

As for weight reduction is there anything else other than the seats i can remove???

so let me get this straight...

1. you removed your air filter and ran a pipe from down low right into your intake system

2. you cut your exhaust just before the cat

WTF!!!

obviously your taking the piss....

IF your not - WTF are you thinking?????

water/dust/dirt will be getting sucked into your motor for a start - you need some form of filtration ffs mate!!!!

and not only is it HIGHLY illegal to do what you did to your exhaust system (not only sound emissions but having no CAT - someone told me fine is well over 100 thousand dollars...) but you have now taken your horse power from 50HP to 20, nice work :P

the engine needs back pressure mate - you may as well get a PHAT 4" exhaust system and slap on this puppy if your going to cut it off.....same thing will happen - no back pressure = power loss

      The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more.

      R32 GTR Lost All Interior Power to IGN Accessories

      By Kirby7887 · Posted

      Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.

      Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
