Hi, guys... I just bought my R34 GT-t not long. (have not much knowledge about turbo cars ) Up to this minute, my modification is pretty simple:

1. Apexi pod filter

2. Front mount intercooler

3. apexi turbo back exhaust

4. blitz BOV

I am just wondering which turbo should I buy (not necessary to be extremely powerful :D) such that i can direct bolt on without too much modifications on the pipings?

Also, my car constantly have back-fire, is that if i buy a safc will help?

How much does it usually cost for a normal tuning?

cheers everyone

Joe

theres a fair bit of info you need will before you just can just "get a bigger turbo". it would be certainly maxing out your current turbocharger as this will give you the most fun and response on the street (ie: turbo lag)

if i was you i would do the following

good cold air intake (with heat shield / box and route cold air to it)

apexi powerfc ecu

boost controller (apexi powerfc add-on one is fine)

3" split dump exhaust from batmbl (on the forums)

some good tyres and suspension

get it tuned and it should be nice and snappy and make some good power

with a larger turbo comes more lag, heat and stress. before you consider a new turbocharger you will need

aftermarket ecu

aftermarket injectors

cold air intake setup

good tyres

good suspension

aftermarket fuel pump

at least 3" split dump exhaust and 3" front pipe and 3" cat back and 3" hiflow cat

Firstly, set a power goal for yourself.

Bear in mind the stock motor limit is around 260rwkw

So, once youve set a power goal

Have a read of here:

There are lots of threads on what you need before you get to the turbo stage

And then have a look here, at the results

Both are sticky threads in this very section... just incase your wondering how i found em

:D

But what do i need to do for that?

    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
    • They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to more wrt the other.
    • I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.
    • Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.    
    • I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
