What Effective/resonably Priced/reliable Mods?

[ray32]

Hey guys I'm new to the forums, just recently got myself a 1990 32 gts-t type m which already has a full exaust, cooler, filter, bov.

Previous owner had the car dyno'd without all them mods and got 159 at the wheels, and said that he estimates it at around 170-180 now.

Since having the car for around 2 months now I feel like I want more power, but I'm still very new to the whole car scene and wouldn't know where to start.

So I just wanted to ask all you skyline guru's what would be the most effective, resonably priced and reliable mods to get to reach my goal of 200 at the wheels?

Also what kind of money am I looking at spending?

Thanks in advance.

There is a thousand threads about this stuff.....

....and you are talking HP there aren't you?

[ray32]

I'm talking about KW

There probably is a thousand threads, but like most people you can't find exactly what your after so I made a new thread.

well i guess it depends on how much you willing to spend.

id say its 159rwkw with the pod and zorst,dont worry about the bov thats just toss-factor.

id say suspension first.always makes a huge difference in the car.

Yeah thats the thing, I wouldn't know whats a good budget to work with.

With suspension I was looking at a set of Tien HA's, there are always a set or two floating around eBay resonably priced, will they do the job?

[DECIM8]

POD, Electronic boost controller (best option), SAFC, FMIC to make it safe, Full exhaust from turbo, fuel pump, regapping plugs to 0.8mm

200 rwkw there u go

Suspension was second thing I did .. I like tight cornering and wanted control.. a sway bar is also a ++++ makes massive difference

Yeah on a 25det maybe, on a legit dyno. Not a 20. Just do all the basic mods, it's not hard to work out

[FATAZZ]

i got king springs and Koni shocks,nothing too fancy.Also while your there,change all the bushes.

i've gone the rb25turbo($400) like alot of people on here,i think std the best you'll get is about 180rwkw before you highflow($800-$2000) it then will net your 200rwkw mark.

Or get a new turbo from garret or hks or whatever.$$$$

Theres a group buy on here for all suspension components aswell,check it out.

These seem to be the best suspension setup for the money:

Depending on budjet, i;d be saying get a boost controller whether it a manual stage 1 bleed valve of an EBC (electronic boost controller) this will up the boost, as you already have pod, exaust, FMIC? this should be getting closer!!

[gt-ahhh!]

RB25DET conversion??

the sort of money you are looking to spend for all the other mods might be comparative to this option. 25% more donk! of course this isnt easy, but neither is fitting fmics... my R33 just cost $1300 for the privilege.

just got it back. should be good for 240rwkw with a final tune!

happy modifying.

[FATAZZ]

oh and a R34smic will do the job upto 220rwkw and is nice and stealth.

Just need to do a $50 job of moving 1 of the outlet elbows.

Haha gettin' closer now! But yeah all the above mods will get you the power you're after for now, until you get bored and slap on a dirty garrett and some injectors

Well good sir, now you see why there are 1000 threads like this

Because...

1. You dont know what you want.

2. You dont have a budget.

3. Have not provided use/aims for the money spent

These types of threads always go down the same line, without filling in the 3 blank points above... people can offer solutions till the cows come home, however if you want suggestions that are actually useful, then you must be far more specific.

Oh, and for the record, you wont have 170-180rwkw on a stock turbo'd RB20, its reading a GOOD 20-30rwkw higher than it really should as the RB20 turbo is a tiny tot.

[ray32]

Cool thanks for the input guys, I'll look into it further.

Cheers.
