FMIC

Turbo back exhaust 3"

Fuel pump

12psi boost

Some sort of tune (SAFC, REMAP etc)

CAI to stock air box, or pod filter with CAI

About 170rwkw

I have 3" turbo back exhaust, bosch 040, blitz FMIC and standard air box. My car runs 13psi all day and has for the past 5,000kms with 0 issues.

It gets a good thrashing too, but I guess it all depends on the condition of your turbo. Its more luck I think :blink:

I may get it tuned with my PFC just to see what it makes on stock turbo but its a waste of money as I have a turbo kit on the way that I'd rather put on and get it tuned at once.

one thing you mite find with stock ecu it might like 12psi better then say 15psi what i mean by that is it may run better on lower boost due to factory boost cut and a few other things

Get a power fc and a few other bits you could make over 200rwk easy :):D:D:D

Not with stock turbo mate, not even with an RB25 turbo for that matter.

RB20 turbo on my RB20 loved 14psi, never had it dyno'd. RB25 turbo on my RB20, made 183rwkw on 12psi (untuned but with usual supporting mods - fmic, exhaust, 044 etc).

RB25 turbo on my RB30 makes the same power as it did on the 20 at the same boost but a lot sooner :blink:

    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though
