Hi I am trying to obtain some info on turbo's I hope you guys might be able to help me. I own a 1988 nissan 300 zx Z31 import which came out of the factory with a rb 20 nics redtop, I since have replaced with a rb20 silver top , the mods so far I have done are as follows... fitted a inter cooler.. 3'' exhaust.. dump pipe..cat..bov..& a gtr fuel pump.. she goes a lot better now but after 3 months I feel that I'm used to the power improvment & would like to gain extra hp.. this leads me to the next step.. I am considering chiping the ecu ..a diferent Turbo and possibly last change would be injectors and a good dyno tune... what I have been offered as a swap for my standard turbo is a vg30 do you think this is a good idea.. or what turbo would you suggest..as money at the moment is a big factor.. I am confused which turbo as some forums talk about rb25 neos, garrett, hks..t3 t4...so on & so on.. a swap is a cheap way but is it a good choice?? also reguarding the injectors I have heard either rb26 or rx7 series 4..Lastly I obtained a chip for my ecu with cradle which i am going to try it came from a rb20 with similar mods.. hope maybe you guys might have some advise.

yea go the swap man .... as long as u know what your buying ..condition wise.. dont get ripped off.....it'll be slightly laggy.. but with a ECU either chipped or full aftermarket

Dr Drift ecu chipping is about 300bucks i think nowadays....chip it for all your mods in one go ..rather than doing it again after u change turbo

GTR injectors are the go ..plenty of info on the search bar for "GTR injectors into Rb20"

i'm doing similar for my r31 coupe ..redtop eccs ... will have vg30 on 16psi gtr injectors and chipped ecu .. along with FMIC, full exhaust and straight thru cat.

similar mods have seen a ECCS engine make 198rwkw with fmic, exhaust, pod, 16psi vg30turbo, chipped ecu and gtr injectors....

good luck....i love the Z31's ...wish i bought one somedays

Yea ive got the dyno graph. i will scan it tomorrow and post it up.

Mods are as follows

Apexi pod

Hybrid FMIC

RB25 turbo @14 psi

Chip remap

Blitz SBC iD II

HKS cam gears

HKS 3" super dragger zorst from turbo back

Aftermarket dump of somekind, dunno what it is

Catch can

It needs a fuel pump as you will see when u put up the graph, it leaned out bigtime uptop.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
