Mods To Gtr R32

[DAK]

I am considering purchasing an R32 GTR and was wondering where is the first place to start looking for extra horse power ?

Having owner WRX's in the past and having modified them somewhat I was anticpating increaseing boost levels.

What level of boost will the car take in standard trim ?

Additionally I would love to know what level of boost the car woud take when fitted with Aftermarket intercooler and exhaust ?

HELP !!!!!

A good exhaust, filters,cam gears, 14psi and tune will get you around 220-240kws at the wheels depending on condition/age of engine.

No need for new cooler, the std cooler is good ebough even with upgraded turbos. Clutch may need attention though. Typically 14-15psi is what ppl ask of the std turbos, but age and maintenance history of car plays a part just as it does on any 2nd hand turbo car.

Thanks Roy,

Forgive my obvious ignorance but what are CAM gears ???? how much will they cost ? and what can I expect to acheive with them ?

[MrZac]

Cam sprockets (or Cam gears) attach to the front of the cams and allow the cams to be adjusted. Expect to pay around $250-$300 each for both intake and exhaust cam sprockets.

You can get 14-15 psi by removing the little boost restrictor olive in GTRs, cost =$0 and is incredibly easy to do.

Expect to pay $300 each if you buy them locally, or you can order them from places like greenline or nengun in japan for $150 ea.

thats my plan when the time comes to buy them anyway, hope that helps!

Hey,

I bought a totally stock R32 GTR early this year and here's a few things I did with mine..

Dyno'd just after i bought it - 165kw's at all fours.

With HKS Front pipes, TRUST cat back exhaust system, Apexi pod filters and the $0 mod..removing the boost restrictor olive, running 13psi it made - 190kw's at all fours. Everything else standard

Cheers

definately start with the exhaust and then get POD filters. run 1 bar through the turbo's and you should have a decent amount of power.

Personally I would do that, then cooler and an ECU and have it re-tuned to see what kind of power she makes.

I would be very interested in the motors capabilities with "breathe easier" mods if you know what I'm trying to say

Thanks to all,

I wasn't aware the Std Turbos could take upto 1 bar, should I need more than 1 bar what mods need to be made ?

I have some pod filters if you want them.
