i am looking at doing mods to my car

i was wondering if by doing mods like

3 inch turbo back mandrel bent exhaust with high flow cat.

Microtech ECU

Cold air intake

Dump pipe

44mm External wastegate

Fuel pump

Replacement fuel injectors

Adjustable fuel pressure regulator

Turbosmart boost controller

Turbosmart type 2 BOV

Front mount intercooler kit

T4 Garrett turbocharger

Exhaust manifold

all on http://leadingedgemotorsport.com.au/packages_nissan.html

u can get an engineering cert for all mods so u cant get defected on the roads or theres no way to not get defected in nsw

not sure on the ext gate being able to pass, would have to be plumbed back into the exhaust pre cat for sure..

boost controllers are i think a no no, no matter what.. i could be wrong

The rest of the stuff can be engineered so long as you can pass an emissions test

p.s. LOL at the turbosmart boost controller pic.. its just a boost tee

Also if you are going to look into getting the stuff done there, dont expect exact power increases as stated

ohk thanks mate.

yea i want to get an electronic boost controller this was just somthing i found on the net and wanted to ask b4 i started looking into it more, because i didnt want to do engine mods if im going to get defected everytime i go for a drive.

even if u just get a engineers cert for your wheels or exhaust or something not to out of the ordinary, if u get it lodged with your car at registration it is a massive enough detterant, many times i have had a cop car come up and sit on my backside for a short time like less then a minute, log my details into the computer they have on board and it comes up with my car has an engineers cert attached and then they just drive off even undercovers, since i had the car and engineers cert i havent been pulled over for random breath tests or any lame excuse like that before, just food for thought best investment i ever got

    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
