Upgrades

[Lady_Woogy]

Ok i have been going over different posts and seeing what sort upgrades people have ectect

I would like your advice on what upgrades to get for my skyline

Car Specs

Skyline r33 (auto) series I

Totally stock standard at the moment... I have only put in a new head unit and hertz speakers.

Mods/upgrades i was thinking

Exhaust ( i want it loud and beefy)

Intercooler (cheap but not nasty)

Wheels!... (Chromes 18inch )

BOV/Pod Filter. (I love that whoooooosh sound)

Any help would be muchly appreciated.

thanks

Silver 34, 2 black 32's, and a gunmetal grey 32, and white 33

Just wondering also was something going on or just luck..

If are looking for some extra power, I would make the engine breathe a little easier by adding a 3 inch turbo back exhaust with a high flowing cat, I would personally keep the standard air box and just get a high flowing panel filter, but if you like the pod you can go pod. And for the intercooler, depending on how much power you're looking for, a JustJap kit should be enough. Cheap and good enough quality from what I've heard.

Raise the boost to about 12psi and also get a new fuel pump to support. I think that should be enough for now.

so for exhaust do you recommend

Trust Power Extreme II Exhaust

or

HKS Hi-Power Exhaust high performance Cat Back Exhaust

or

x force stainless exhaust system full 3 inch turbo back system

as for the filter i currently have a K&N filter..

as for the intercooler will the cooling pro ones do ?

I'm not too sure about what exhaust you should get, but if you plan on keeping the stock air box, the k&n filter should do and the cooling pro intercooler kits should do also. Just make sure you get 2.5" piping. You don't want the extra lag from 3" piping.

I just got 3" custom piping for my FMIC, no noticable lag.

I also just fitted a Turbosmart dual port BOV, sounds good and can have the option of plumbed back, atmosphere or both.

Exhaust - Fujitsubo, FTW.

Yeah? I always thought that the extra 0.5" of piping would cause more lag and throttle response. I guess it does in a way, but if you don't notice it.....

It probably does effect some setups. Sorry for going off topic
