a common question...

first gotta ask yourself what sort of power you ultimately want and how do you want it? ie. responsive or all top end?

some comments below:

-hi flo the turbo

imho, pointless. will cost you $1950 from GCG and thats only stage 1. a 2nd hand low km HKS 2530 bolt on will cost you similar if not less money. Greenline online will sell you a brand new HKS 2530 delivered to your door for $2500 of which includes a full kit of gaskets and lines. If you wait another 6 months, HKS is releasing the GTRS turbo for the RB25. Well thats what one guy from the HKS stand at Tokyo Autosalon told me this year.

-front  mount

i didnt get a major "seat of the pants" improvement with my FMIC upgrade. I have a HKS TypeS bolt on kit. The stock i/c will flow quite alot, again it comes down to my original point - what power are you chasing? my FMIC cost me about $1500 2nd hand but it was in mint condition. Installation was free since i did it myself with a friend at a panel shop. http://www.pbase.com/franks/07dec02_fmic_install

be prepared to be pay around $400 for installation.

-custom manifold

i could see the money for this being put to better use for the type of power figure i reckon you're chasing.

-full  3ich exhaust

yup. a must for turbo cars. the cat back section you could do yourself, the front and dump pipes i would get a exhaust or workshop to do. brand new you're looking at around $1800 for a full exhaust. your paying another couple hundred for installation im guessing.

-Eboost

electronic boost controller?? or Trust unit? boost is free power!!! always a good modification!!! couple hundred installation, unsure on the $ figure of a new one of these. 2nd hand AVCR's are around the $800 mark from memory. i've installed the AVCR onto my WRX, got a workshop to install it on my Skyline but they still managed to screw it up by mixing the throttle position and rpm wires even with instructions!!!???!?!?!?

-air induction kit

lots of noise, not alot of performance. i would stick with stock airbox with a hiflow air filter panel replacement. easier on the ears and the defects. my hiflow panel cost me $80

-bov (HKS SSQBOV)

no comment. waste of money if your stock bov isnt leaking or if you arent intending to run major boost.

Any other suggestions guys?

and how mux Do u reckon for all of that mods that i listed.(include labour)

thanks...it will help me alot for future mods

i would definately consider the following:

-a bolt on HKS unit over a hiflow of your stock unit

-a clutch (if you're chasing any power figure over 200rwkw)

-a bleed valve as a boost controller over an EBC

-fuel management such as fuel pump and injectors

-a replacement ecu to better manage your fuel and ignition

cheers,

    • Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.
    • My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )
    • Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?
    • Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!    
    • Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
