Is an after market chip really that good of a bang for your buck mod on a resonabley stock car ? Cause I'm looking at getting a FMIC in the very near future (as well as getting my brakes done, machined and new pads) and then upping the boost a bit with a bleed valve. Then hopefully getting the dump pipe/front pipe done with a 3 1/4|1/2 depending on how much moneys left over.

The 32 ECU's are remapable (to a certain degree) aren't they ? Cause I read in Zoom a while ago, with a fuel pump, boost valve (to 14 psi though) and a remap they got 160rwkw on a stock 32gts-t.

Do you think a PFC for $2000 would be the best dollars spent though ? Currently all i've got as far as power performance is a catback zorst. Getting a bleeder shortly though.

I'm doing work on ecu's atm on r32's using an s-afc as well I need some dyno time to see how it goes the best bang for your buck mod you could do is to bolt the turbo from a vg 30 or an rb25 and you will make 170 rwkw hp at least at around 10-12 psi but I'd get a bigger fuel pump as well and a bigger fmic you don't need to spend 2k on an fmic if you only going to chase 170-180 rwkw you just need something bigger than what you have.

a s/hand one will do.

Well I'm looking at getting a FMIC at the minute, i'm looking at getting a decent sized cooler as i'm looking at around 200rwkw in the future. So I don't want to have to do it again. I will be looking at getting a VG30 turbo in the next round of semi/major mods. Probably with a fuel pump in between.

I am getting my S-AFC soon too, can't wait!! :P

Then i will tune for 12psi and i should be getting ~180rwkw (I am gettin 162rwkw now on 9psi with no S-AFC).

OK guys - that's really good feedback -

i can see merit in FMIC and boost contoller straight up. Gives colder (more dense) air and more boost (without detination right ??) Then ECU 'cause factory one is Shiet. I wanna know what dump pipe is, and what is the benefit ?? Then, bigger turbo (makes sense - more O2) After that you need more fuel right - ECU can only do so much so injectors need to be bigger right ??

Has anyone done a short shifter mod ?? Don't know how much benefit on the 1/4 it would be, but sounds like FUN.

PRANK - is there a local shop to Nth Beaches ??? Where do you go ??

OH - BTW - U F'd up my compliance papers to Canberra - sent copies instead of originals - LET IT BE KNOWN -they only accept originals - Have to make up the StfUp by lot of Canberra brown nosing. Hopefull I will have BEAST on the road by late AUG.

Cheers All.

i like ndr's home-made catch can haha..

No sorry Ryan,,,A catch tank is just a remote oil breather tank that stops oil mist from re-entering the inlet side of things.......Nothing to to do with a Bov at all..........

Dump Pipe is the first part of the exhaust off the turbo - they make a big difference when you get an after market one.. i have a 3 1/4" dump pipe (HPC coated - this lowers the heat emmitted from the dump pipe and keeps engine bay temps down..)

There are some shops, but i take mine to my mate in Castle Hill - Hills Motorsports, he has done everything to my car so far and knows his ****, a few people from the boards take to him.

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
