Colin: You may have already seen this and I'm not sure if it's any good to you, or how expensive it'll get. But it might be worth keeping an eye on.

The others I've found are all interstate and would probably cost you the $500 you're setting aside just to truck the mongrel up.

Yeah seen it, keeping an eye on it not too keen on it though. Its on boost as well and he wants like 900 for the shell or something stupid.

i was still at home broad minded person..now curretnyl at work...

Is that another SAU filter?

I wish she was 300awkw but sadly she isnt. :)

what? where'd that come from brandon?

finish your exhaust and get injectors :)

and then i guess you'd need a re-tune

*disclaimer* i am a total n00b and following my instructions without any professional advice is just plain foolish

So you need to pick up an extra 45awkw?

- Injectors Why? They're too small

- Fuel pump Why? It doesn't flow enough and will need to be replaced for bigger injectors

- Adustable cam gears Why? You need to make the most of the standard GTR camshafts, it's all about dialing them in!

- More aggressive tune Why? Becuase tuners tune too conservative, thus no one breaks a motor but less power*

- Find out why it’s not holding more boost Why? More boost more power

- Your turbo’s are N1, not “stock”, they can handle more than the fart of air you are putting through them

What air box are you using? Factory? What filter? You do not need pretty pod filters (see all the research on here) maybe look into a better filter panel if you still have the stock box.

I am personally a fan of the Alloy ARC air boxes

Anything over 300RWKW really needs at least a 3.5inch exhaust.. To be honest

Skylines, including GTR’s are “cookie cutter” recipes when it comes to creating power. Follow the tried and tested path.

*You might find with the above, you wont even need a super aggressive tune anyway

yeh those airboxes are porn!

in regards to pods,

tas as a pdf of the latest analysis of pod filters - tested for flow and filtration

i for one was shocked with the results, Apexi and HKS (both considered "upper market") performed shit,

turns out the $30 pod (cant remember the name) was 1st for flow and 2nd for filtration (i believe knn was 1st for filtration, yet only 4th for flow)

yeeeh i was on the money with zorst and injectors

classic

:)

but in all seriousness brandon - what boost are you running?

I think he said 1.1bar, because it couldn't hold anything over that. If your a skirt 1.3 - 1.5bar. There are reports of N1 turbo's being used up to 1.7, however these could very well be for R34 N1 turbos, which are better then R32/R33 N1 turbos.

I would suggest doing your own RnD, not take mine as gospel. For what it’s worth, when I had a half decent income I was searching high and low for an N1 R32 myself, so spent some time looking at what I could do with it, without basically bastardizing it

1.1 is childs play :)

for 1.5 would he need bigger injectors and the fuel pump?

Yes - 600cc's in theory could do the job, but close to max or max duty cylce sorta scare's me. From a safe leway point of view I'd be throwing in 800cc's and keeping the duty cycle down.

I personaly would also be doing a proper twin fuel pump set up.

One to left the fuel and one to send the fuel to the car.

In saying this, you can get pretty dam good intank fuel pumps that are more than good enough as well, to keep it stock looking

For starter... I dont have that much money to spend every month (homeloan took more than 50% of my pay away...) especially from doing the basic (ecu, ebc, tune) mod last month which cost 3k.

I'm reading and trying to find why is it not holding boost, it seems to be narrowing down to wastegate or ebc from what I'm reading (can be others too but these 2 seems to be the highest possibility). Doesnt make sense that its running 0.6bar before the tune which points to wastegate/actuator (after some reading).

I think the exhaust is good enough (http://www.nengun.com/trust-greddy/power-extreme-ti-r). I agree with what you're saying about the agressive tuning but the fact remains its not holding boost above 1.15bar which means I need to solve that before doing with anything else.

If I'm gonna want more power out of the car, I will have to do the following;

1) 555cc injectors

2) AFM

3) new ebc

4) cam (I might consider doing this if theres not too much $ involved)

5) fuel pump (do I need it? I dont even know what am I having or is there an "N1" fuel pump thats suppose to be in there)

6) retune

Do the math and thats not gonna be cheap! And better still, if I decided to get 700cc injectors, I might be getting wastegates change + dumps too which is gonna add up. I'm selling the dumps I bought for now, which means its the end of the mod disease for me and only thing left to mod are the suspension and clutch if that ever fails.

The car feels really good to drive now and I'm pretty with it now. So.. stop spreading the virus to me! I'm happy with my 255awkw GTBOAT!

Would be interested to see this, the last test I saw rated Apexi ones as very good.

Might be time to change filter, shame i can't get one of those ARC boxes for my car :)

Injectors are 90% now and highest boost 1.15bar (but seems to be 1.1 on the graph). Savman told me his are running at 98% duty, 18psi (1.2bar), 300+rwkw I think (EVERYTHING STOCK, thats including pipes, injectors, afm etc. Only had PFC and PFC boost kit). Using that as a reference, at 1.2bar you're pretty much at the limit of both injectors and afms. So yes they will have to go. Dont know much about fuel to comment.

I wouldnt run 800cc after reading about efficiency, unless you have plans for further upgrades.
