What Do U Think I Should Do To My Car ?

[Sammie]

i currently have a r33 s1 gtst with a cat back exhaust,pod filter and bov i was wandering what would be best do do first i was thinking of getting a front mount intercooler however i was wandering what i need to do to get a full turbo back system i dont know much so any help would be great ive been reading around and dont understand a whole lot

[Kaido_RR]

My list would be

1. Coilovers Or springs + shocks (can get d2 for about 1500 install in perth)

2. Heavy Duty Clutch ($800-$1000 install)

3.full exhuast ($1000-$1200)

4.Fmic ($250-$300 for a china-cooler and about $500-$600 for piping)

5.Rims (anywhere from $500 to over 2k)

An exhuast system in a turbo car goes like this

Turbo --> Dump --> Front Pipe ---> Cat ---> Tip

so basciy u have the cat-back which means to get a turbo back system u will need to buy a front pipe and dump pipe.

You can get a Dump and front all-in-one pipe for around $300-$500

-I think rims are important not becuase they make the car look good but they increase the size of tyre on your car which helps with traction, and most of the time when you get rims you buy good tyres too

How much are you looking to spend?

[Sammie]

yea i am thnx dude and is there anyway to check what kind of suspension i have ? and what mods would giv my car that little bit more grunt and reasonably costing

[Sammie]

and maybe u could help me with another question i been wanting to ask but havnt posted yet, im confused with boost how it works and what boost controllers do and how people talk about 7psi,12 psi etc and how they can adjust it

[Kaido_RR]

if you can take a photo of the suspension tops, or the suspension itself (turn the wheel so you can see under the car more)

FMIC, will not really give you more power by itself, it will allow you to run more boost which in turn will give you more power

i say go for getting a full turbo back exhuast system and you should gave abit of power

[Sammie]

alrite thanx alot um mayb in a private message or on here u could maybe explain to me about boost how it works etc psi and stuff ?

ok i give this one a shot, im not an pro so it may not be 100% correct but should give you an idea;

a turbo compress the air flowing into the engine, so you can get more air into the engine.

Boost is basicly the compressed air being pushed into the motor, so the more boost you run the more compressed air being pushed into the engine BUT that doesnt mean you will be getting more power. each turbo has its own Efficiencies range, which for a rb25 turbo is around a max of 12 to 14psi once you go over that the turbo will not make anymore power or you risk blowing it up as the wheels inside the turbo arnt steel.

A boost controller controllers the level of boost, you can get Electronic boost controllers or Manual ones ---> EBC you can adjust the boost lvl inside the car and manual ones you have to open the bonnet and turn it

[Sammie]

thanks alot uve helped alot and yes would be great if u can pm me anymore info later il be sure to join the club soon thankz again if anyone else has advice plz post

Well it sounds as tho your suspention is somewhat good, SO i think the exhaust needs to be looked at then a FMIC and Power FC. The list goes on but that is a good few grand straight up and will keep you busy!

Wanna know what to do?

Read the sticky thread in this section.

has ALL basic mod information listed

[Sammie]

after reading through some guys alot of people recomend to finish off my exhaust do you think this is a good idea ? iwant something to give a little bit more power and does anyone know roughly how much a dump pipe and a front pipe will cost me ?

this question was answered above.

go to the section of these forums called FOR SALE (Business Traders).

there is a guy called BATMBL that sells the front part of the exhaust from the cat to the turbo that you want to replace.

buyit from him.

[Sammie]

ok thanks mate

[nismo33]

get the split dump and front pipe.. make sure you get the HI-FLOWED cat,. this will give you a few kw.

and then get a bigger intercooler and boost it up a bit.

[Sammie]

great well im defintely considering buying the split dump and front pipe from the link above im not sure if i hava high flow cat i will have to speadk to the dealership where i got it from but i will do that first get the front and split since it will give me some kw's and i was wandering how come batmbl is selling it for so cheap ? i was looking at the xspeed site just a normal hks front pipe is around $600 and a turbo dump pipe is around $450 ? any reason why batmble is selling for so cheap ?

[R31Nismoid]

because batmbl isnt HKS
