Newbie Skyline Questions

[Molloy]

Hey lads, im new to skylines, just got a question about 2 cars, im looking into getting a r32 or a r33 turbo, both are stock, what Mods would I have to do to get these cars into the mid 13s? front mont exhaust, bov? bigger turbo? soz for the newbie questions, I just havent delt with Turbos before as previous cars have been NA,

Cheers guys

hey mate, do a search of the forum it will provide all the information you will need.

also build your car up slowly, till your confident, a turbo car doesnt react/drive the same as a NA car

some items you'd need off the top of my head would be, full exhaust, fmic, fuel pump, piggy back ecu, good tune. all the parts you buy are only as good as the tuner your using

[Molloy]

Thanks mate, whats is a fmic?

[mesmerized]

front mounted intercooler

if you want a GTS-t that will do repeatable 13's, then just buy a modified one- you'll save money

although if ur talking GT-Rs, they do 13's standard

[Molloy]

Great stuff, thanks for the info guys

i was at eastern creek last week and i ran a 14.4 but also there was a s2 which he had said it was stock which i couldn't see any mods, didn't have a intercooler or anything like that had the factory SM, he ran a 13.7 stock, i think it may be that he is just a good driver

well to get into the mid 13's i dont know about much but to get to some power close to 200 rwkw yeah i can help ya there...i have a r33 s1 gtst...and i have over 200 rwkw on 10psi boost....atm i have returned to stock boost and i am still making 180rwkw....i have done the basic mods of front mount intercooler, full exhaust, clutch and coilpacks....good luck

You need bov.. two of the big ones.. and Molloy.. do you know when you need them by?

[HackerX]

A decent set of tyres won't hurt

[JBird]

Don't waste your money on a bov.

All you need is an exhaust + dump pipes etc. (2nd hand will do, find at a jap importer/wrecker, 3.5" will be big enough - no canons please!) and a A'pexi power FC/Greddy E-manage. Get it tuned by someone reputable. Stock cooler is fine for stock boost, maybe if you can get a cheap GTR intercooler that would be the cheapest way to get into high 13's. Then you'll be looking at new clutches, tyres.

If you spend a little more, FMIC will do the trick, boost controller (stock turbo doesn't like being boosted though), fuel pump when you get past 200kw.

Keep in mind its not all about power, driver skill/reaction and good suspension and tyre choice will get you over the line.

Just see how you got adding one thing at a time.

stock car:

Lower rear tyre pressures, find a good launch point and away you go.

add exhaust, repeat

add ecu, away you go.
