off the top of my head maybe $5000 buying parts retail??

Upgraded turbo ~$1500

Upgraded ECU maybe powerFC ~$1500

Bigger injectors & fuel pump ~$1000

extras like a boost controller and other little items + labour ~$1000

oh plus a tune

whats everyone else rekon?

I have a 1995 R33 RB25 and just recently reached 198.5kw on the dyno.

Car is running:

FMIC $1000

Full Exhaust System $1200

Apexi Pod Filter - Bought from Nengun for $50

Power FC - Bought from Nengun for $950 w/ hand controller

Exhaust Cam Gear - Bought from Nengun for $180

Splitfire Coils - Bought from Nengun for $450 (Don't think it makes much of a difference)

Turbotech Boost Controller - $30 (Bought from the SAU forums)

13 psi

So all up almost $4000 excl. a couple of tunes I've had and labour.

I got 200rwkw out of my rb20 spending a lot less than that.

Exhaust 3" turbo back $700

r33 turbo hiflowed $800

hybrid intercooler $200

Intercooler piping custom $220

ecu retune an ddyno time $300

boost controller turbotech $30

fuel pressure regulator $170

fuel pump $145

total $2565.

Everything was new except for the turbo. it was a secondhand hiflow. but I have seen decent new turbos for $1200 anyway so for less then $3000 you can have 200rwkw.

the big difference in the equation is the turbo... some seem to make the 200rwkw mark on the stock turbo... mine made 195rwkw but was running way to lean so it was bumped down to 187rwkw at a safe level on 12psi....

you will need:

FMIC

Exhaust

Bleed Valve

SAFC or full Computer

every car is different... my car obviously needs a bigger turbo which i am having installed at the moment, but then you also need:

Fuel Pump

Injectors

AFM

Depends on who you know and what you can do yourself. Shop arround get second had exhaust SAFC ect to cut costs.

-Intercooler kits are gettig cheeper and cheeper around $600 for a Hybrid copy

-exhaust second hand jap brand 600-700 highflow cat and dump pipe $300 or so for both (look in the forsale section on these forums)

-SAFC 350-400 or power FC 950 with hand controller from Nengun.

-$30 boost controller off forums (search $22 boost controller)

at least$250-$300 for a dyno

regap plugs to 0.8 free if you do it yourself.

So it is possible to do it from stock for under $2500 if you can install all the parts yourself but pay for a dyno tune.

My mods and power are in Sig thats pretty close to 200rwkw.

Every can is different though but with these mods expect 180 - 200 rwkw depending on engine condition tune ect. The only thing I would have done different is I should have brought a Power FC instead of a SAFC.

:rofl:

It varies from car to car as others have already mentioned. My GTS-t had:

FMIC

Full 3" Turbo-back exhaust

Bleed Valve (9psi)

K&N Panel Filter

Bosch 040 fuel pump

Greddy Exhaust Cam Gear

Splitfire Ignition Coils

So that all up would be about ~$4k

Notice though that not many (if any) mentioned Splitfire Coils or Exhaust Cam Gear but instead mentioned a tuned PowerFC or an aftermarket turbo... Just shows their are different ways of obtaining power, some people take the easy option (better flowing turbo) and others choose to extract the maximum power out of each part before replacing it.

i have

stock turbo

pfc - 1000

nismo fuel pump - 500

sard fpr - 300

intercooler - 1300 (ripped off i know)

exhaust - 700

AVC-R - 350

cam gears - 250  

tune - 550

220 rwkw !!!!!

too easy, now to get a timeslip

either your turbo is a hiflow and u dont know it, or else the dyno was ready very high, as 220rwkw is not possible with your mods, specifically the stock turbo. maybe try another dyno.

btw. what psi were u running?

Turbo back is front pipes, dump pipes, cat, rear exhaust

cat back is just the rear exhaust.

the front/dump/cat will give you another 10-15rwkw along with much better response.

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
