Hi guys, I've been reading around the forums & used the search function a couple of times but there are still a few things I can't seem to find.

I'm fairly new to turbo modifications, having recently upgraded from a n/a R33 & I was just wondering if I'm heading in the right direction with my modification plans. I am a firm believer in doing things right the 1st time around.

My car is a daily driver, so I'm not chasing a huge power figure, just improving the performance of my car without sacrificing drivability as I'm getting bored of the stock power & I would like to start taking it out on the occasional track day :P

* I already have:

- Turbosmart dual stage manual boost controller recieved as a x-mas pressie (not installed yet)

- Apexi Power FC for the r34 gtt (not installed yet)

- HKS mushroom pod filter with factory snorkel & custom intake box (on the car when I bought it)

- Plumb back BOV (on the car when I bought it)

* I am planning:

- 3" stainless exhaust with split dump pipe

- FMIC

- Fuel pump

- Coilover suspension (later on)

I'll be keeping the stock turbo, what would be the highest psi I could run before pushing the limits of the stock R34 turbo?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions if there are any aspects of mods I might have overlooked.

also any suggestions on what you use & recommend

Have a read of the Forced Induction sticky thread :(

More stuff in there to help ya out also

Awesome guys! Thanks for the helpful responses. :O

Skyline couple: It's definitely not a stock airbox that I have as I know what it looks like. It's got the factory snorkel, but the box is made of sheet metal or aluminium with some foamy stuff on the inside to shield the pod. Was on the car when I bought it.

Cheers everyone

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
