My First Skyline

[Krishy]

Yeah well, unfortunately for me I have to go through there daily to and from work. Thankfully I only pass through and DO NOT stop

you would prob get mugged if you stopped

[HSV004]

like said in previous posts. im knew to the whole skyline bit,

looking to get more power from the car.

its relatively stock.

with front and rear sway bars.

adjustable coilover all way round.

walbro fuel pump

eboost controller

turbo timer.

what do people suggest as a start.

oh and its running 10psi

[scandyflick]

how much you aiming for?

standard exhaust im guessing? if it is, call Andrew at AM Performance on 0401865373 and get him to hook you up with a turbo back system.

get yourself a front mount kit, id just buy a cheapo chinese core and again see Andrew to do the plumbing.

crank it up to 14psi, have everything checked out a dyno, and enjoy it for a bit.

then when you get bored (you will), start looking at turbos (steel wheel highflow will see you into the 200's), injectors, and ecu's.

then when youve got all that taken care of, start looking at keeping your engine reliable. oil cooler, maybe an ungraded radiator.

but before all that, basic brake upgrades. some rotors (rda slotted rotors are available cheap cheap like a budgie in the group buy section), uprated pads (i and many others will recommend qfm pads) and a set of braided lines.

forget about these waste of time/money mods dave has mentioned.

get yaself 1 of these puppys

you'll be ripping 10sec 1/4miles the second it go's on

[scandyflick]

always with the quality advice there dan.

sorry i forgot to mention it has a FMIC and as far as im aware it has a turbo back exhaust.

cheers for the ideas and suggestions. but in relation to cranking it up to 14psi. i was told to go no higher than ten because the stock turbo can not handle much more or something like that.

[scandyflick]

fair enough.

bah, stupid rb's and their crappy ceramic turbines. get a highflow, then smash 16 psi. easy.

Or get an aftermarket turbo and smash 20

[Damo_R34]

12psi is about the limit for RB25 standard turbo's, any more and they cant handle the heat.

All depends on how much power you want to make, remember that more kw's = less response.

[HSV004]

i dont want stupid amounts of power as the car is my daily for now.

looking for something around 200 maybe a bit more

[Damo_R34]

hiflow turbo and 14psi should see that easily. what computer are you running?

[dark.sky]

What he said ^ Just make sure you get the AFR's checked out on a dyno.

Edit: Hypergear say thier highflowed stocker can pull 225RWKW @ 16PSI on a RB20, so it would be higher for a RB25.

You will need to upgrade injectors, AFM, fuel pump plus look at your ECU to get those power levels safely, though.

[HSV004]

previous owner didnt mention anything about an aftermarket computer, so im going to assume its the stock one, until i can get it on the dyno and get everything checked over.

[Damo_R34]

a quick check inside the passenger left footwell will tell you what ecu you have. 14psi, hiflow turbo, 550cc injectors and fuel pump should see you safely into the 200's

[HSV004]

cheers for ya help. already got the fuel pump, where would you reccomend for getting my turbo highflowed. and the 55cc injectors

Wow! I never knew RB25s could use such small injectors. No wonder they are such pussy engines.

*Make sure your sarcasm alert is set to the 'on' position*

[scandyflick]

lol @ 55cc injectors. my lawn mower uses bigger squirters!

send your turbo to hypergear for a highflow (theyre in the traders section here and on ns), itll run you about 800 samolians. 550cc injectors you can get basically anywhere, send a pm to dohmar on here, hes got a pretty decent thing going on with some americans (yeah, i know...) for cheap injectors.

[HSV004]

guessing that should be 550cc?

[dark.sky]

You will need 550cc injectors, he left off a 0 lol

I have never used them, but Ive heard good things about Hypergear (www.digi-hardware.com)

What fuel pump do you have?

Also, you will probably need a Z32 air flow meter.

Then there is a couple of different options for ECU and tuning. You could go a Apexi PowerFC and have it tuned, the FC is ~$1500, then you need tuning. Or, call Jeff at The Speed Lab (0434637357) and have a talk to him. This will be cheaper.
