^ only 166? Should have been much higher... the power of ECU for the SR, big gains

Power to weight also plays a part.

But meh, if he wants 200 for now, and then wants a bit more, plenty of room to move on ALL the stock parts.

Hell i made 250rwkw @ 12.5psi on the stock ECU without a drama

had stock on my gtst... then 185... then 265... soon to be be 300 with e85 when i get datalogit and a bloody e85 pump close by...

i'm now thinkin about a 33 gtr in around a year.... i just hope 350awkw will hold me :/

sellin your turbo kit to me yeah?

If its a GTR that u have.. why u wanna waste ur money on a "hi flow" cat???

the stock unit is extremely hi flow... gettin anything other than like a metal cat or magic cat is a waste of time.. :S

There's a really high chance he's got a compliance cat and not the Japanese GTR cat on it....(a quick check under the car will confirm :rofl:).

Yeah only 166; it was auto though so some drivetrain loss. I didnt have an ECU but did have aftermarket s/s turbo manifold.

Must say though that power to weight was great; I can really feel the big skyline required some revs to take off especially with the lightened flywheel.

Just to bring this old thread alive, for about 200-220awkw would anyone recommend a power fc d jetro over the standard power fc?

Also, is it worth getting a HKS, Apexi, etc. cat/exhaust vs some cheaper x force type brand?

From a little research I'm thinking an upgraded panel filter, down pipes, hi flow cat/metal cat, 3" exhaust and pfc djetro should be sufficent for now and should I be bitten by the bug for more power :( I don't want to have to upgrade stuff later. My theoretical maximum I would want to take it to is 300-330awkw (I know I know I say that now :))

1. no. regular pfc is fine. easier to install and much cheaper. just get that.

2. in my opinion yes. I like the japanese exhauts and think they are worth the money. they typically fit better, sound better and use better quality/grade material when compared to chinese made x-force etc. others will argue it makes no difference to performance. as for the cat, yes definitely get a good brand, metal substrate like a magic cat, or apexi, or sard or nismo cat. they will flow more.

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
