Johnny Cash Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Heya all, Just wondering what the quickest and cheapest way to 170rwkw is, bearing reliability in mind (as much as possible for an R32!) I think that's more than enough power for a 32, bearing in mind they come stock with 160kw at the motor! Mine is pretty much stock now, power-wise, save for a catback exhaust and Apexi filter insert, and it already goes alright. So I think such a power-jump will be more than enough (being sensible about things). I think the following would fit the bill: 3" Front Pipe and Dump Pipe (Probably the 'Flying Performance' style 2-in-1 job). Standard Cat Convertor? (Do I need to change to hi-flow?) 3" Catback Exhaust with Turbo Muffler R33 Turbo (Rebuilt) Electronic Boost Controller (eg. Greddy Profec-B Spec II) Fuel Computer (eg. Apexi SAFC-II) Fuel Pump (eg Bosch 040) Sports Intake Filter (Filter Insert in Stock Airbox) Front Mount Intercooler (probably just a Hybrid Kit). Let me know your thoughts on what else is needed, or on what is not needed, as you think fit. I think it's pretty spot on, but I figured the skyliners out there that are already pumping 170kw at the wheels would know better than me Thanks, Adrian.

BHDave Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 That should just about do it. You can get away with just a regular old 3 inch cat as opposed to the metal cats. There won't be a hell of a lot left in your injectors but it's easily do able.

dangerous_daveo Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 To save a bit of money you could go a bleed valve. Id also recomend a dr drift chip over an sfac, would be about the same price but its one less bit of gear for someone to nick out of your car, and its probably a better tune, plus takes off speed cut and boost cut etc. And get a fuel regulator. That will give the injectors that bit more they might need. To give you an idea I have just a front pipe back exaust, fuel reg and pump, pod with cold air, bleed valve set at 12psi and a dr drift chip and im making 155rwkw. If you add the fmic, dump and r33 turbo (id say even not hiflowed) you should easy get 170rwkw.

Johnny Cash Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 adja, u know the recipy....follow wat i had on my car and ul love it dude <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey Nathan! What happened with that 33 you got? Surely you're not gonna get it on the road, it's too crazy. Well, after hearing all the comments, I think the following is necessary to SAFELY provide for 170rwkw: Fuel Pump Fuel Pressure Regualtor Air Flow Meter Pod Filter Intake R33 Turbo Front Mount Intercooler Front Pipe Dump Pipe High Flow Cat Catback Exhaust ECU Boost Controller Now I'm thinking this is all gonna cost a lot more than I wanted it to. Oh well, might have to do it a bit at a time. Save the boosting for last... see how I go. Thanks for all your help, Adrian.

Maybe you've already got an aftermarket turbo kit fitted or something. That, or you're running WAY too much boost, and your motor is going to pop open any second. I can't see the bov making much difference. Either way, I don't like it.

Johnny Cash Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 VG30fuel pump fuel reg HKS FCD pod zorst fmic target 3g's or less <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How come VG30? Isn't that the older turbo from the 3 litre that was used in the VLs? I would have thought the turbo from the R33 would be a better choice. Maybe I'm wrong. I was thinking that for only 12psi, I could get away with stock turbo. Guess not.

Johnny Cash Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 I'm thinking that if I stay at 12psi I can use the stock RB20 turbo, which will save mucking around. Also want to keep the stock airbox, as I've already got an Apexi Power Intake Filter insert in it, and don't wanna switch to a pod filter if I can avoid it. Thinking to do: FLYING PERFORMANCE 3" Front and Dump Pipe in 1 3" High Flow Cat (eBay job) HYBRID Front Mount Intercooler Kit BOSCH 040 Fuel Pump Fuel Pressure Regulator (not sure which brand yet or where to get one from) APEXI SAFC-2 Fuel Computer GREDDY Profec-B Spec 2 Boost Controller Should cost me around $2500 in parts, then obviously whatever installation and tuning costs in addition. If I can get over 160rwkw I'll be happy, but the magic figure is 170! Stay tuned...

Guess not. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> VG30 turbos come from Z31 300ZXs they have a bigger exhaust housing so can flow more exhaust gasses and therefore make more top end power these are known to be pretty laggy on rb20s though as the exhaust housing is designed for a 3L engine not 2L... but then again, some people dont mind the lag and are happy with the power gains Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/105509-getting-around-170rwkw-out-of-rb20det/#findComment-1943485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
