Dose Pipe Sutututu

Yes

wait till the "I need bigger brakes because my car isn't stopping on these non dusty pads" thread/post.

Probably IAT have increased, resulting in less power being made.

Less back pressure, more power so if you relieve as much back pressure as possible your motor aka air pump will flow more air thus producing more power. Another reason why going a decent manifold and EWG will make more power however with some added lag OR same can be said about welding a gate on top the housing and ditching the IWG.

New manifold, it's currently in the post Will be bleeding exhaust pressure/gas at the manifold instead of the turbo housing to control boost. Should be able to keep the exhaust pressure down and heat down which equates to more power. HAVOC Fabrication modified manifold. Old setup turned blue after constant track days, clearly shows EGTs were more than not friendly (even on E85).

Dose pipe is a good start

396000km sounds more like it. Needs a dose pipe too for those #northernskids

That it's a GTS-t, sounds like the odometer is missing a 1 or 2 at the front.

GTX turbos love boost, add more

My suggestion is to get a proper ECU with adjustable retard and adjustable RPM ignition and / or fuel cut for your bang bang. I have what you're trying to achieve governed by my vehicle speed so no silly handbrake needed.

buy better FMIC, lower IAT always better

any cylinder head shop can do it Mike

like this?

Don't buy a NA one

Turbo your freshly swapped LS

understand, however let's say this, for both (hotter air intake vs. cooler air intake) the: post FMIC IATs are the same, let's make up an arbitrary number 40 degrees Celsius boost source is tapped for the actuator pre throttle post intercooler, let's say post intercooler it's measured at 1.5bar altitude is the same, so 100kPA (probably useless variable to have in this hypothetical) I doubt there will be a massive difference in power produced, yes maybe a tiny bit difference because now the turbo needs to spin just that little harder to make up for the lack of pressure (due to air density, pre intercooler) so the EGTs might me a little higher or a lot (depending on how much harder the turbo needs to work). If you were looking at logs, EGTs, turbo turbine RPM yes there might be a "huge" difference, but the end result wouldn't be much different from a pod filter without shielding to a pod filter with shielding. Not sure if I am even making sense to the masses anymore.

Drop the cat completely and take the car for a quick squirt.. could be exhaust restriction somewhere making the turbo lazy. Also are those RPM from the ECU/ECU logs or off the dash? I've noticed on some Nissan the dash displays RPM which were a inconsistent to what the ECU was showing.

IATs matter the most post intercooler and not pre.. you could have chilled air being compressed and fed through non efficient intercooler and you'll make less power, prone to more knock than a setup that's compressing super hot air and flowing through a very efficient intercooler.. your car will make more power, will have a lower chance of knocking. So yeah, pod or airbox does not really matter.. However for cars running a AFM, AFM voltages may change going from an airbox to a pod setup.

CHINA RACING better than OEM

No it won't, and stock airbox doesn't flow too well. I pulled mine off and ran a straight pipe with no filter and made an extra 13kW on the dyno.

SOLD!

Post up your alignment sheet and yes tyres sound old. Probably hard as shit lol Here's an idea, buy another Skyline. Wobbly end fixed

BUMP

BUMP

+ why would you install 565cc injectors up from 440cc.. mad waste of time/effort. Just go 2200cc or so
