Probably best to lurk your way around the general or forced induction sections and get feel for what your looking for first. There is alot of technical knowledge in there for beginners like yourself and you will learn alot.

The cooler would probably be the next step followed by some kind of engine/fuel management (powerfc, safc, etc, etc) then you go to the manifolds and or new turbo. With all that, if you do it right, you should be able to double your power from stock. Internal work is for serious budgets and serious power (or exploded engines) :)

Hopefully that gives you somewhere to start but i still suggest having a look in the tech sections. Do a search if you want to research something specific.

Everyone has their own opinion best to make ure own mind up.

Oh and welcome to da forums

like boostzor said....

look at getting a front mount and or some engine management.

if your not looking for huge power but a fast car (about 13.2 for 1/4 and ~270ish rwhp) then go for the safc and the fmic and maybe upgrade to an ebc if you have a bleed valve....

but there is plenty of info already on the forum in the search area :(

first make sure your fuel pump is running ok - if it isnt it can cause major problems e.g pinging.

Do FMIC 1st, you can buy a trust kit from $800 now (on specail at greenline and negun) or else get a hybrid cooler (they sell from around $250 to $400) and then get the piping made up for you (cost is around $600-$700); then go safc 2 or PFC, I would go PFC as it is a complete ecu and then you do have to sell the safc2 down the track and then buy a pfc and buy for my tuning time.

also good to invest in a heavy duty clutch if you dont have one already :rofl:

But cooler is soo shiny :rofl:

And you have to tune up a new safc or pfc so may as well do it with the cooler in so u dont havet ot do it again down the track. Sure its prolly gonna suck it down but they should be done pretty close together anyway.

powerfc and a fmic

:werd:

Looking at $3K total (including dyno tuning) but so much better than anything else you can do to your car as a stage 1/2 before you step up to replacing turbo's, injectors, surge tanks, regulators, wastegates, etc etc....

How much would a safc cost????????

Am looking at getting this & a fmic once I have sold my car I have now. Should have my 'line within 3 weeks max.

Oh yeah, what are some of your opinions about front mounts???? Some people say that paying more for the recognized brands or Japanese brands (ape int., trust, HKS etc), dosen't really give you any advantage over some of the kinds you can pick up over here.

I just don't want to pay over the odds when I get one, what sort of prices will I be looking at for a fmic?? (buying, piping, fitted etc) Any advice would be tops, :) .

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
