Hey lads and ladies,

I have an r32 gtst with an rb20det...I am after some cheap but good bolt on fo fast bits to increase power in the car...I would like 300rwkw but don't think this is possible without crackin the puppy open and doing some internal work...

Currently I have:

FMIC

3 inch cat back exhaust (will have a 3 inch split dump/front pipe installed and a 3 inch hi-flowed cat soon)

POD

Boost Controller

What other parts should I get in my quest for power???

I was looking at a T3/T4 turbo (i believe, can't remember exactly), externally gated, that will be good for mid range and will spool 500 rpm later than stock (which I want as it is a street car with an occassional track outing)want to run about 16psi

I know I need injectors and pump and reg but what kind

Will I need a PFC

Oil Cooler

WHAT ELSE CAN I GET THAT IS A SIMPLE BOLT ON TO IMPROVE POWERAN AFFORDABLE ON A LIMITED BUDGET???

forget the turbo upgrade. you said budget so that wont even go near a turbo upgrade. my suggestions

ecu remap

rb25 turbo

cold air intake kit

suspension work

fuel pump

oil cooler wont add power

injectors wont add power

fuel reg wont add power

and be happy with that. injectors, ecu, and turbo is another 3k expense, plsu the cost of a 1980's style plain bearing diesel turbo which will come on boost probably near 5 grand. why bother? the rb25 will come on fairly nice and should make near 180rwkw. 300rwkw on a rb20 is way out of your scope.

300rwkw is doable but not on a budget.

I got to 260rwkw with no head modifications, running standard exhaust manifold and inlet manifold etc.

You need to ask yourself what you want more:

response or hp.

There is no turbo out there that will boost 16psi 500rpm after the stock one and be capaable of 500hp. You will need to sacrifice response to reach your target but you could expect full boost at approx 3500rpm. The rest of the engine etc. will be built for strength anyway so you will have plenty of managable power up to 7500rpm.

There's no such thing as 300rwkw on a limited budget.

There's also no such thing as a street rb20det making 300rwkw.. Well there is if you don't mind having no boost in the first 3gears. :laugh:

Settle on a sensible power level and go from there.

      WTB noltec r32 front upper (camber) arms

      I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
