What Can I Do With ~$5k

[hanyou]

Hey guys, im getting my car fixed after the last drag day when my clutch let go (or whatever it was that let go) and im going to go out and buy all the mods now so i can do it all at the same time. Basically im only posting this because im not sure on the "detailed" information that is needed for mods such as "what cc injectors" or "which cams to get". Ive got a 5k budget including tune + labour.

So what im after:

- i want to have not much more then 300rwkw

- want to hit a high 11sec 1/4 mile, car has run a 12.3sec as is

- keep in mind it will be a daily driver as well

- i want turbo lag to be minimal with a good strong mid range punch

What i currently have already (that would make a difference). currently running 250rwkw (dyno sheet is in the RB26 turbo upgrades sticky):

- mines ecu

- full turbo back exhaust

- slide hi flow rb26 turbos

- k&n panel filter

- os giken twin plate clutch & flywheel

- hks evc 3 boost controller @ 15psi

- splitfire coilpacks

- JJR hardpipe cooler kit

Im pretty happy with the brakes & suspension setup i currently have, got a few upgrades to make here and there but this is excluded from the budget.

This is what i have planned so far:

- power fc - ~$1500 inc tune

- injectors (what cc/brand?) - ~$1000 installed

- fuel pump (looking at a bosch 040) - ~$400 installed

- cams & cam gears (type/brand?) $?

anything else ive missed? i dont think i will need to upgrade the air flow meters for the power im after (under 320rwkw) and i dont really want to open up the engine other then the cams, unless something is really needed.

Thanks guys.

only if your the one thats going to be pushing my car to run 11's

Semi-slicks and a spare set of rims + the other mods you mentioned.

Also maybe some form of torque split control.

5k? Thats more than you need

PowerFC - $1500

Injectors - Nismo 550/555 - PT# 16600-RRR60 - $750-$800, then whatever for installation

Fuel Pump - $320 installed i wouldnt pay anymore than that for a Bosch pump install, its a 20min job and the pump costs $220

Adj Cam Gear - $200 installed

Tot - basically 3k

You might have a 100 here or an extra 100 there. But 3k will get ya over the line without a drama.

AFM.s You will need the RB25 or Z32 Type...Plus adaptors....

Or if you have the money...Nismo type...same size as yours...fit on and tune

[R31Nismoid]

You dont ened AFM's for 300rwkw if you have a tuner thats clued on

[hanyou]

well ill be most likely going to bel garage for the tune so they would have a clue

thanks for the info R31Nismoid, im pretty much building my car with the plan you have provided

[Risking]

Nismoid I think your a little under with the Cam gears quote. 2 gears and instal at $200???

AFM's are not needed for what his chasing. I would not be worried about cams either and like others suggested use the money on a decent set of tires if you havent already got them.

Seen good and bad tunes coming out of bel as of late, dunno what the go there is. I fixed up a tune on a 180sx today that was done there, Owner was most disapointed in the results.

I did say give or take a 100 here or there (just add 100 on if thats the case)

Cant be spot on everything all the time

Modified stock ones IIRC are $150 i can get them for.

Not sure if thats RRP or whatever though, i dont stay on the prices all the time

[hanyou]

risking: yep tyres/suspension/brakes are all taken care of,

ill have a search around at some other shops that can do good tunes as well..

So you wouldn't bother with replacing the fuel rail? air filter? or even replace stock flywheel & clutch?

PowerFC? I've never heard of it (Being new here and all), so I'm guessing that is an aftermarket ECU right?

[hanyou]

clutch/flywheel is a os giken twin plate clutch & lightened fly wheel already. using a k&n high flow panel air filter.

i do believe for the power im after a fuel rail would be a waste of money.

power fc is the ecu

[Angus Smart]

only if your the one thats going to be pushing my car to run 11's

give me the 5k and i'll tow your car to run an 11.

[R31Nismoid]

Mark. If take the time to read the first post, you'll see the parts that hanyou already had on his car.

These include a better clutch, panel filter upgrade among other parts.

These were left off the list because he does not require them.

If you have never heard of a PowerFC, i suggest you spend a lot more time reading. Its the most common choice of ECU on a Skyline

And you certainly dont need to change the fuel rail for 300rwkw. I wouldnt even bother changing it for 400rwkw.

Good point, sry just got caught up in your posts. Well I'm going from a VL commodore to an R34 GT-T, so, there 'might' be some similarities, as the VL had the RB30 and the R34 the RB25neo. Yeah sry mate, just getting a tad overzealous, I did in fact read the first post. I've been reading a fair bit the last two weeks on this forum, so I kind of gathered power FC was an ECU, I asked only to make sure...

[BAMR33]

Never heard of PFC, my 10 year old sister knows what a PFC is...

[simor32]

my grandma knows wat a pfc is hahhhaah

[Marco-R34GTT]

*tear*

[hanyou]

just to confirm, the bosch 040 will be sufficient to hold the power? how much can it take? as im about to buy one now.

just orderd a set of the Aerospeed cam gears on the group buy as well.

edit: never mind im actually going the nismo or tomei fuel pump for safety.
