Modificaton Order

[PhilGTR]

Hey guys,

Just looking for some advice on what to start with for modifications. I have a stock r32 GTR and i am looking to purchase apexi airfilters, trust intercooler, full exhaust system and BOV's. Would these mods be a good start? Any opinions appreciated! Thanks

[Abo Bob]

In order:

High flowing panel filter for stock airbox like pipercross or Nismo or something.

Full exhaust.

Boost controller.

Fuel pump?

PowerFC.

Just my opinion. I don't own a GTR.

firstly,

cat back exhaust (or if you have the dough go for dumps, fronts, cat and the rest)

either a K+N in the stock air box, or the apexi pods if you must

then you'll want a boost controller of some kind

Power FC is next and couple that with a set of cam gears

forget the trust FMIC on an otherwise stock GTR it's a waste of time and money. there is nothing wrong with the stock GTR cooler under 300rwkw. no real need for the bovs either as the GTR alread has nice twin bovs from the factory but if you are keen just make sure you get a GTR specific kit. I quite like the trust type R kit, or the blitz super sequential is nice too. i can't stand the HKS ones though.

I'd get everything running nice on the car first, make sure nothing is going to fail after a couple of thrashings

Yeah i was thinking of getting the trust Type R BOV's. Okay so i think i will get my Trust power extreme 2 cat back exhaust first with a high flow cat and a trust front pipe until i get paid <_< . My front mount seems a little dirty, im not sure if its still efficient.. how much does it cost to get it flushed and cleaned?

don't waste your money on aftermarket BOV's, your standard ones work a treat.

Pod filters, you don't have to, the mines car is still using the standard airbox with a panel filter upgrade. GT-R cooler is good for 300 odd kw, as mentioned above, the just jap race car still uses the stocker.

Go for an exhaust, aftermarket ECU, an EBC and some cam gears to start off with and then go from there. Next thing after that will probably be a fuel pump, clutch, maybe injectors, cams, more boost? upgraded turbos?

Anyone?

ok thanks for that! what sort of boost is it safe to run with the stock cooler? would something like a greddy emanage piggy back computer be good enough or should I go a full replacement computer? Im only looking to mildy mod my car. like 240kw or so?

[paulr33]

the stock bnr32 intercooler should be for around 300rwkw

however the exhaust wheels on the 16 year old turbochargers wont be.

they will let go near 1.0 bar and then youll have to fork out for a new turbo (or a pair) and thats if it doesnt do any damage when it fails, which it has known to do on the rb26. more boost means more heat simple

i would get the power fc unit. it will make life a lot easier in the long run. check out nengun.com, my mate just got one off them for under 1K new.
