Leave the catback on and change the dump pipe to a larger one, 3" pipe should be fine.

Install a FMIC but nothing too big other wise you can loose power.

Upgrade ECU

Install a boost controller to run a few PSI higher but if ya wanna run HIGH boost you will have to upgrade internals.

Another thing is lightweigh the flywheel. No power gain but you can take off quicker.

BTW if ya wanna get anal about cooling, after installing your FMIC you can install water jets to spary onto the intercooler once the car hits boost to soak out the heat on the FMIC. Mind you topping up water will be frequent. LOL!

OR install a Supercharger for low down revs / and turbos take over when boost kicks in. = Thats a BIG job and mainly for race/High performance applications and it has been done before in Japan. R32 GTR Supercharger Twin Turbo.

i had a 600x300x76 size intercooler on my 32 and didn't have to cut the reo up, just had to skim a fraction off the frontbar itself at the bottom.

k what if i don't get a front mount will that restrict a lot of power??? what if i upgrade my side mount is that the same?? cause front mount cops will defect me wont they??

You still can get a FMIC but make sure you don't loose any boost presure. If ya front mount is too big presuer loss can happen and end up loosing power while running standard boost.

600 X 300 X 75, if this size intercooler is still OK for standard boost then go for it, if not upgrade the SMIC.

ummm, how can you loose boost pressue from a fmic? the wastegate is controlled by pressure so if you have less pressure the wastegate won't be open so the turbo will spool up more until it gets to that pressure.

the only way to 'lose pressure' is if you have a very restrictive cooler and have the wastegate gets its pressure reading from before the cooler and have your gauge after the cooler. this will make it so the turbo is still running at normal pressure, but due to the restriction in the cooler the engine isn't getting as much air.

+1 for 600 x 300 x 75.

+1 for front pipe, etc.

I wouldn't worry about water cooling your intercooler unless you live in the Gobi desert. My FMIC is mostly cold to the touch even on hot days. But like (00)Skyline(00) said if you wanna be anal it's an option.

the majority of intercoolers need a hole cut under the battery tray to pass the piping through.

This is illegal and (according to law) affects the structural integrity of the car, if police find the hole, it will be a costly to fix. (lets hope you dont live around Knox area :banana: )

Companies such as Blitz, ARC etc produce return feed intercooler's which use the same piping holes as your standard SMIC, so all legal :dry: Expect to pay $800+ for these branded intercoolers.

Or you can either buy a R34 SMIC customized to r32 or find a ARC SMIC.

I have a r34 smic customized for r32 for sale, pm sent if interested :spam:

Cheers

ok iam gonna buy my exhaust soon from gktech so i need

a dump pipe+front pipe+high flow cat

or

dump pipe+front pipe+ de-cat pipe

?????

get a single chamber front/dump pipe combo.. saves having an extra gasket for nothing.

i wouldn't advise getting a decat pipe unless you're game.. cops don't like them too much :thumbsup:

my opinion, go with a highflow cat. if you are interested in getting a decat pipe pm me.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      255 can't go wrong with the price.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.

      I dunno what the "best" one is....but when my 040 died late last year, after about 20 years of screaming service....I put in a 255. Like any such thing, you have to finagle it a little bit - it's not a no-brain swap. But it's not hard.
