so amongst all the crap charlie you need to really identify your current mods, how much you want to spend and what power you want to make

as the power goes up, so does the spend and the rate at which things break so be reasonable, ie dont say your happy with 300rwkw and want to spend 3k

be realistic and you should be ok

a basic GTST with std turbo is good for 200rwkw

a mild GTST with hiflow is good for 250rwkw

a mildish GTST with internal large is good for 300rwkw

a heavy GTST with external large is good for 350rwkw

so pick your target, again, each power band, the cost goes up exponetially

Party pooper... :nyaanyaa:

ok so it sounds like all the dream boats on here r a bunch of cocks...... I would be happy with 250rwkw and I don't want to spend to much.

I have a,

HKS FconS ecu

Bosh 044 fuel pump

front mount cooler

S/S flowed turbo manifold

S/S dump pipe with wastgate pipe

3"dump to the cat and 3.5" after that

2850 Stall converter for the auto

Sard fuel reg

The ECU was tuned over in japan for 278.8PS with front mount and fuel pump thats it..

1. What is "S/S"?

Sounds like some laggy/cheap ebay rubbish to me. It will crack, and then you will cry.

Put the stock manifold back on.

2. Ditch the F-Con. No one can tune them. PowerFC of Nistune are the cheapest options.

As for turbo - same as everyone else. Please read the Dyno results thread.

There are plenty of turbo options

Probably from some stupid performance shop's shit like Gentech....then again, if it's anything like Gentech I don't think he can afford it....

Have a look at their prices for each stage....BUT KEEP IN MIND each stage's price is ASSUMING you've already purchased the previous stages....rofl

LOL stage 1

3.5k, all they do is a flash tune and CHANGE OVER injectors.

WTF?

Thats no more than $1800 on a epically bad day...

Some people just take it in the ass when it comes to off-shelf stuff like that.

And no.

Not anyone can tune a F-Con. You need the HKS software that only approved tuners are supplied with etc.

There is like one tuner per state in Australia, effectively limiting you unnecessarily.

i think S/S means stainless steel Ash..

But no promises... :rolleyes:

Yeah, kinda missed the point :D

I mean is it an ebay special??? (I suspect it is).

Also to make the most of your stage 2 turbo you will need at least the following

Stage 1 > ecu and fuel system upgrade, driveline brake and suspension packages

Stage 2 > filters, exhaust and intercooler

Stage 3 > weight reduction package,tyres and NOS

Your NOS bottle will refill itself automatically as you perform drifts, tricks or hold you racing line

You will also need drift wing, widebody kit, pearlescent paint with matching tint, neons and at least 20inch (preferably 22inch) wheels for reputation points and street cred. And dont forget carbon fibre, lots of it, and not the stick on stuff, thats for posers

Dont listen to these guys telling you your inlet manifold will blow or floorpans will fall out, that only happens in the movies. :P .

BUHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!

look mate if your after 250rwkw+ speak to stao at hypergear i have a target of 300rwkw and im looking at the ATR43 G3 profile (best bang for buck) with supporting mods of injectors (750cc) but that high is not needed, FMIC, Z32AFM, Microtech LT12-s and possibly a cam gear on exhaust side, and a turbotech boost controller. stao reckons this should get me 300rwkw easy.

like i said speak to stao he will have the answers

      Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt. its a snip of what I’m up against. front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙 att.DqweJqhY5MZiZYQDVMhn3LtvdD1RBZ7TBG4f2s7W1zM.mp4 att.lFuN22MZEowqCbFAXoDw009r2gHL76ChMVfxMfBX-uk.mp4

      Dual exhaust questions

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By 32.det · Posted

      Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.

      Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
