Hi guys,

got my car tuned to 233.5kw@4wheels (read my sig for the list of mods i did to the car. Now if i were to upgrade the stock STD turbos to 2530s wat do i need to upgrade to support the turbos? I have read the sticky thread on the Rb26 turbo upgrade and i read a few guys did it. But in the list the didnt specify which fuel pump they use and fuel pressure regulator and injectors.

So is it safe to say i need to upgrade the injectors(800cc), fuel pressure regulator and a 044 fuel pump? Apart upgrading the clutch (to jim berry specs) what else do i need? THanks for the opinions guys.

P/s : My aim is to get 300kw@wheels.

I'd be chatting to the bloke who tuned your car :3some:

Very wise man.

It depends on what turbos you purchase for the most part as you might need injectors/afms, you might not.

Yea but i want to have some sort of idea first before i speak to him and weigh out my options first(budget wise!!). On the stick thread turbo upgrade people who used 2530s turbos uprgraded the injectors but not the fuel pump (accidentally left out of typing?).

Well depends what power your after

300-320rwkw or 350rwkw really.

If its a street car i'd stick to the 300rwkw and go for a GT-SS (or similar) package as its the most responsive.

Then you wouldnt need injectors/AFM's with a bit of luck.

But then if you went 2530's you need a bit more gear, but you would get more power for the added expenditure :3some:

you mean if i use the GTSS turbos i dont need to upgrade the fuel inectors and the AFM? My aim is to achieve 300kw@wheels.

I sure am :3some:

Ben will give you more detail, ferni's car is setup like that and going well so far i believe

ohh ok if thats the case GTSS is a cheaper option for me then. This is what im thinking, since i will b doing mostly city and hwy driving i dont need a big turbos. Meaning i want to have full boost at 3rd gear will the GTSS turbos suit this application?

Will ask Ben when i get back into the country.

hmmm since you said youre on a tight budget then it makes things hard

pushing 300 at the wheels is going to test a 17yo fuel system. In good condition it will handle it but if youve got gunk filled injectors then who knows

For peace of mind and insurance id at least change fuel pumps. Try being on a tight budget and trying to rebuild an engine....it just doesnt happen. Outlay some insurance now. Its not as if a bosch 044 will cost you an arm and a leg.

The internals will be fine as long as theyre in good health. Get a compression test and leakdown down before the turbo change. It may just give you some foresight to take it easy before you damage anything or may give you some confidence in the GT-SS or 2530 route

will take into consideration. It make sense as well for the fuel system. I think the pump is about betweeb2-300bucks as apposed to the injectors which is about 800bucks.

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.

      No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party

      If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.

      I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.

      Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
