R34 Gt-t Mod Dilema...

[Harey]

cool thnx. I went to dr drift sometime last year and he said $900 to do it.

But il go pass again and ask him.. (busy man)

If u dont mind me asking, How much power did u get with the set up that i got now?

thnx harey

I have the same as you except I still have the stock dump pipe. I made 190rwkw with the boost dropping down to ~9psi at redline. Car feels very strong, especially the mid range. Overall I am very happy, I have even decided not to go the next step of bigger turbo etc because it feels great on the road. I am not really into 1/4 mile racing etc, just want a quick streeter. Car is super smooth.

You should make very close to 200rwkw.

Whats your budget? and are you planning on something big in the future?

well if your asking me, My budget is about 6-7k. im looking for 250+rwkw streeter and il be happy. If its gonna cost me that much, I was gonna upgrade it to a GTR.

Point me out to the right direction if u can plz.. good to see u made 300rwkw on yours.

thnx

proven 250+rwkw setup. please keep in mind the price ranges go from basic just jap shit to high end japanese brands

minimum 3" turbo back exhaust ($1500 - $2500)

040 bosch fuel pump ($300)

FMIC ( $300 - $2000

Power FC (or alt REPLACEMENT ECU not piggy back) ($1500 - $2000)

highflow oem turbo (but personally id go with a gt28 turbo) ($800 - $1500 )

personally i would stay away from a highflow, its pointless and a waste. you can spend another $300 and get a gt28 turbo that flows almost 2x as much and is a much better. and you could sell your r34 turbo to someone who does want a highflow for a good $400. the key is to use good parts to give you room to upgrade on later on rather then replacing it all together like shitty piggy back ecus.

Highflow is not really a bad idea if you want to (try) to avoid being raped by the EPA. Same also applies to ECU's. That said if you aren't in vic, or your car is track only then get whatever you want

Or you could get a GTR. Most would say that the best money spent on upgrading a GTT or GTST is by selling it and buying a GTR

[Harey]

Only problem is an R34 GTR is still 40k+. You could get an R33 GTR for 25-30k but I like the R34 shape

Also:

Injectors 500cc+

Z32 AFM

Upgraded Clutch

I would be surprised if you had it all up and tuned for 6-7k unless you can do a lot of work yourself.

No need for a piggy back ecu on an R34 when Nistune for $350 or so will perform as well as a PFC. If you're going to buy a new turbo why bother with a GT 28 - go straight for the GT3076.

Hi-flowed turbos with OP6 housings are proven +250rwkw turbos.

Off the top of my head I don't know too many GT28 based turbos with a T3 turbine housing unless they are mated to Nissan housings. The HKS GT-RS is one, (the HKS 2835 ProS doesn't count as it is a GT30 based turbo).

The statement about flowing almost 2x as much is completely incorrect.

^^^ Like he says - I made 245awkw at 1 bar from my stock R33 turbo highflowed by GCG with more to come. R34 highflowed is good for up to 30 more kw.
