last time i checked the local exchange rate on the "kw" was about $5 per 1kw, but on the stock exchange things move so quickly so dont quote me on that.

in all seriousness you cant just turn money into an exact kw figure. There are a whole host of different and expensive or cheap mods that can be done for power, ie an exhaust would probably gain more than 10kw or it could gain less it all depends on too many factors

Exhaust, Full from turbo back.... $1700 maybe 20 kw gain at wheels.

$85 per kilowatt.

Power FC plus tune, $1500, 25 kw at wheels

$60 per kilowatt.

My piece of string is this long ------------------------------

How long's yours?

who said id had to cost alot? just getting more air in helps, and just a basic tune up(as guerilla said) big turbos, engine rebuilds and the like are more in everyway, so i guess the more you want the more itll cost you. now im just stating the obvious.. :uhh:

Depends where you are in the upgrade path. You can't put a bleed vlave and filter on a car that already has one. If you've upped the boost, changed filter, full exhaust and engine management there's not much around to get your gain that's cheap.

The quickest and one of the cheapest ways to up the boost is a T peice bleed valve.

With stock cooler I would recommend 10psi.. with aftermarket front mount up to 12psi.

To run approx. 180rwkw I would suggest a pod filter, 3" turbo back exhaust, FMIC, bleed valve at 12psi. With that easily 180rwkw.

If you want to hit the 200rwkw then go the Apexi PFC.

Custom mild steel 3" Exhaust $1000 approx.

Pod filter $100 - $150

Bleed valve $100

FMIC bolt on kit $1200 (nengun - Greedy)

Apexi PFC $1500 approx (plus tune)

Hope thats of some use.

10kW out of stock R33...pretty cheap....10kW more out of a worked skyline already putting out bigger figures......quite expensive

as i read above some where, all depends on where your at with your tunning. Air pod & bleed valve will gain over 10kW on a stocker, not so easy at the higher end of the kW figures, maybe bigger turbo? maybe rebuilding or balancing the motor? Not cheap!

so i dont think it can really be judged in $$ terms

:)

jaycar boost controller and AFR adjuster with hand controller.. about $200 all up. Sydneykid installed these recently in his stock stagea and got 30% increase in power with only a small boost increase and better AF rations.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
