Hey guys, first time posting to SAU but have owned my R32 GTS-t for a year and a half now. i got it from a guy in gelong for 10,700 unreg and all it had was a 3" turbo back exhaust and done 80,000 on the clock. Not bad i would say.
Apart from the police liking to defect it for bald tyres the car has not had one mechanical problem but now I have become thirsty for power and the lack of low down power in the rb20 is becoming more and more annoying every drive so i have a plan.
I have 2 options and want people's opinions on them but first the shoping list:
Strut Braces (F/R) $198
TEIN Super Street Coilovers$1280
TEIN EDFC $650
Kaaz 2way LSD $1050
HICAS Lock Kit $100
Adjustable Camber Arms $300
Caster Rod $249
Pineapples $99
Bushes $150
Whiteline Swaybars $350
Bee*R B5 Racing wheels 18x9.5 $1996
KKR-480 Turbo $895
Xtream Clutch kit $250
Apexi Power FC + FC logit $1500
Greddy Intake Plenum $900
Hybrid Intercooler + custom pipeing $600
Short Shifter $200
Apexi AVC-R Boost Controller $750
Exhaust Manifold $500
Bosh in tank Fuel pump $260
Oil Catch Can $80
Battery Box $25
Surge tank $200
GTR Injectors $500
Bucket seats $400
The options:
1: RB25DET Neo conversion, hence the project R32 GTT(im not just some fool who dosent know they changed the gts-t to gtt in the 34's) the pro of this is that it will be a good base and already having 206kw, with all the extras on it will with out a doubt forfill my power thirst. the Con's of this is that finding one with evrything i need was harder than i expected, The laber will cost a bit and the engieners cert.
2: RB24 hybrid, i read about thin a HPI Mag and a mate sugested it cause not only will the RB20 become an brand new engine but with forged pistons i would be able to pump in as much boost as the turbo can handle and no need for and engine cert. Cons are as good and unique as the RB24 will be there will always be limits to the out put that the engine can make and i dont want to over stress an engine that cant make the power comfotably. also rebuilding the engine wil probly coast the same as a conversion.
so there are my ideas please post you views, any other things i may have not know or what you think would be cheeper and better. thanks all
