Quick Question


Recommended Posts

ok thanks mate ill get on it,iv got full uras kit ill lower the car more for the race and remove any extra weight i can...how much $$$ should i expect to spend to outrun a turbo?,i know i have him at top end speed but i need the take of aswell,my car as it is beats supras on high and low end,and turbo subaru's can not pull away from me so im happy with that.

Read what madbung said...

Reeks of sweaty palms in here,

You're probably going to go backwards with a 4" exhaust, you're car needs the correct back pressure to operate at it's best. I doubt a 4' system will provide that on a 2.5 n/a, you could choke it down with some mufflers, but that defeats the point. A tuned set of headers and matching system would be my choice.

I doubt you'll get near a turbo's performance with any form of bolt on mods (nos excluded) Headwork, bigger valves, port and polish, cams, bigger injectors, engine management, bore, stroke or a 3ltr bottom end and a balance would be a good stating point if your genuine. Expensive exercise, then your turbo mate only has to bolt on a bigger snail and it's bye-bye again.

Seriously, love your car for what it is...the rest is a waste of $$$$$ for a small ego stroke.

Or installing a boost controller to up the boost will have him in front already.

So as what madbung has explained,

(IMO) at the end of the day it's a totally different car all together.

It will cost you a lot to win over the R32 Turbo.

As for now, I probably just do the usual bolt on mods like upgrade your air panel filter to a high flow panel filter.

Please DO NOT go for the 4" exhaust! 2.25" full exhaust with a high flow cat will do you fine and get it professionally installed by your mechanic.

Lowering the car will always help with handling and yes, light weighting the will help.

Other than that, just save your money and in future, sell the car you have now and get a R34 GTT / R34 GTR... Or whatever you want with a turbo in it.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
