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, :) .

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
