Okay so far the car already has a 2.5 inch exhaust (turbo back?..hopefully) and a K&N pod filter.

What I'm probably going to get is...

- high flow cat for the exhaust (becuase I dont think it even has one at the moment, so I need this one)

- RB25 turbo (high flow)

- Trust intercooler

- Bosch 910 Fuel pump

- Electronic boost controller

- ECU remap

.. Im hoping I'll be able to run 11psi low boost, and 15-16psi high (is that reasonable??).

What do you think I'd need to budget? .... $2000? Much more?

Your stock rb20 turbo and stock rb25 turbo's have ceramic turbine wheels that dont hold together long with over 14 psi of boost. Your modified "High Flow" from slide or GCG or whatever, replaces these with steel wheels for durability.

I'd suggest adding an adjustable fuel pressure regulator to that list, if you're going to keep stock injectors. Here in the states they're $120 or so for a Nismo, thats what I have and I like it.

Good luck

- high flow cat for the exhaust $180-$400 depending on how high flowing you want it to be

- RB25 turbo (high flow) $1500-$2000 depending on who you get to highflow it

- Trust intercooler $......?

- Bosch 910 Fuel pump $250 (going by what 044's and 040's are worth)

- Electronic boost controller $375 for a Greddy Profec B

- ECU remap $150 PM CEF11E about it or you could pay up to $1000 for a workshop to do it

If you're going to be getting a highflow turbo you're going to want to get bigger injectors too

And probably new coilpacks coz the std ones would probably be dying

15-16psi would be fine

And yeh whatever your budget, add at least another half of it on top for other things that will come up and need replacing.

What the shit. $2000 for the turbo.. Is this like top of the line?

How good of a turbo could I get for $1000. I'd want it to be steel wheel/highflowed still.

Edited by flth32

$1000? 2nd hand aftermarket item or highflow.

My GT35R cost me $1600 new. I'm sure you could get a GT2530 or something for a similar price and still be reasonably bolt on.

If you want a cheap upgrade then a standard RB25 turbo for $3-400 but you won't be able to run much boost or make much power. Will certainly be better than the stock 20 turbo though.

- high flow cat for the exhaust - $300

- RB25 turbo (high flow) - hi flow cost about $2K as suggested for a ball bearing hiflow turbo.. just get HYPERGEAR turbo is about $900 from the for sale by trader section of these forums.

- Trust intercooler - probably too expensive.. get a cheap kit like GKTECK for about $400 for the kit.

- Bosch 910 Fuel pump - $250

- Electronic boost controller - Just get a manual turbotech boost controller for $40.. set it to highest you want to run. to use lower boost, use your right foot less

- ECU remap - $150 from user on these forums called CEFFIE.

that is the only way you will come close to $2K.

you're version of event will be closer to $4k just for parts.

Okay I like your list better :D ... but what would you boost that to?? ..

have a read.

the same user/company is on these forums as HYPERGEAR

ask him questions regarding choice of turbo and boost to use.

his site has vids and dyno sheets and mods etc..

However, keep in mind that you will run out of injectors before you reach the max power these turbo's can provide.

perhaps search this forum for GTR+INJECTORS+RB20 to see a guide on how to use the GTR injectors and resistor on the RB20, then look at buying them too.

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
