Yeah, always a good idea to upgrade the turbos considering the issues stockers have with lots of boost and age. I'd do:

Turbos

Injectors

Fuel Pump

ECU

Exhaust

AFMs (depending on ECU)

EBC (depending on ECU)

And then you need clutch etc.

I've been told you can get very close with stock injectors but I have no personal experience with this.

For that kinda power i'd be upgrading the fuel system and turbo's whether they can make it or not...

its like driving without insurance... Cheaper, but a huge risk

300rwkw isn't too hard.

Full Exhaust, PFC, injectors, 1.2 bar. I reckon this will give you 290ish 300rwkw.

Twin GTSS will give you that easy imo. ;)

I wasn't saying its difficult.

Out of that list, only the exhaust would be what I would consider "minimal" or "basic" mods.

Turbos and ecu are a more serious modification IMO, requiring a lot more work and it will also change a lot of things about the car.

Dont the stock turbos still have ceramic wheels and hence the ~14psi limit before they go bang? This is the reason I said it cant be done with basic mods. :( Of course it can be done without much difficulty, but it all comes at a cost. :)

    • I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.
    • Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.
    • Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right  
    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
    • Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good
