DREMEN: you wont need to worry about injectors and fuel system until you start running bigger turbos etc.

If you havent already done the front section of your exhaust ie the dump pipe, front pipe and cat then do that first.

Following that a Power FC will give you a substancial increase.

After that you start looking at rebuilding/replacing your turbo, which will then present the need for bigger injectors etc in your quest for more horsepower.

* Full exhaust (if it isn't already), this'll give you better midrange response and an increase of around 7-10rwkw

* Exhaust side Cam Gear

* Good Tyres (no point having heaps of power if you can't put it to the ground)

* How many km's has it done? If its more than 70,000 throw a new clutch in it, you'll be suprised at the difference

Forget about a bigger turbo and aftermarket ecu for now, theirs still more to beat out of your standish setup before you look for the easy way out. Besides once you start throwing on a bigger turbo you often forget about the tiny little things that can make a difference.

OK its done over 70, 000km's so I would be looking at new clutch

I will run 12 psi through it (We will increase it on the dyno to check for detonation)

High flow cat - I don't want to remove the standard because I just got ripped hard by the EPA 2 weeks ago :D

Dump pipe...

Cobra exhuast do a high flow cat & dump pipe for $700ish

What about an apexi AVCR?

    • Yeah, the thread is only nearly 20 years old.
    • Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 馃構 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
