Hi all sorry if I have posted this in the wrong area

I'm in the process of building a street/track. I have R32 GTS with an rb25det neo conversion. My aim is 300rwkw, I would just like some helpful information with a selection of mods which will help me get goal.

So far the list of mods I have aside ready to put in are

Apexi PFC

Splitfire coilpacks

Z32 afm

Greddy bootst controller prof 2

NKG .08 gap copper plugs

My next step is my exhaust system, do I go custom 3" stainless steel? Or after market eg apexi, hks, arc system? Which will have better flow? It does not matter to me about cost just what will work best!

Next step induction, okay do I keep my standard r32 airbox and change the filter? - upgrade to a r32 gtst ARC induction box? Or apexi pod filter with heat shield? What will be the best option for better flow and cooler air?

Next step front mount intercooler - there are so many fmic around these days it's hard to know what is the best option. I would just like to know if the stock GTR intercooler would be a good choice r32,r33 or r34 GTR? Is there a difference and what would be the best choice? Good flow? Will they support 300rwkw and will they all fit my car?

Not to sure about injectors and fuel pump. Brands & sizes? I was thinking sard 800cc and 040 or 044?

Last part will be the turbo I don't really want to go for a high mount turbo I'd rather stay with a low mount but then again I don't know a lot about turbos so is that possible. A low mount turbo making +300rwkw if so can you please let me know and what will be the best option

Thanks Johnny

exhaust, go a custom job or a premade one, as long as it's 3" madrell it should be aight

go a pod filter in a sealed box with a CAI

fmic, most cores will hold 300rwkw. i run a hybrid gt with 325rwkw. anything jap should work, as will a GTR item

injectors, go minimum 740cc, and fuel pump, go 044 or nismo intank

turbo, go a 3071 or 3076.... you'll have to search hard to see what you prefer.

unless you find an HKS 2835, then just use that

For your exhasut, as mentiond above a decent brand 3" will suit you fine.

You can run the arc box or pods, if you run pods have a look at the following item im getting one as i may not have room for a arc box, plus from the look its 90% sealed of from the eng bay. http://jsai.com.au/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage-ask.tpl&product_id=264&category_id=18&keyword=r32&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=29

How do you wont your piping layed out. Thier is a thread in the turbo section on diffrent IC pipe lay outs. personly im getting a blits se FMIC from just jap as it uses the factory piping route and doest clog the eng bay IMO. http://www.justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=19401&cat=&page=1

Thier is also a forumula to work out what injector size you need v power (have a power goal in mind to work this is out) as for fuel pump bosh 040 are good and are widly used, plus are in pump.

From whats ive heard look at the garret GT-RS ( i think thats the one), also thier is a rb20 turbo up grade thrad in the turbo section with result from diffrent turbo and mod combernations.

and with your brakes, go for R33 GTST items over the 32 GTR items they are bigger (i think thicker as well). look at Racebrakes RB74 pads, DBA 4000 slotted or if you wont 5000 series sloted rotors (5000 are two pce), dot 5.1 brake fluid (motul) and braided brake lines, and brake master cyl brace (if you plan on tracking it)

There are on line calculators ( google) but 550 should make 300kw but if you have topfeed rail ID 1000s are very popular now and said to flow well at half capacity.

And according to the formula provided by our local Turbo builder you need an intercooler that will flow 700cfm for 300kw - although getting flow rates from intercooler manufacturers sems to be like pulling teeth!

    • So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?      
    • Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.
    • I did not realise this, I'll contribute more and earn my stripes and retry later. 
    • I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.
    • Hello,new to the group, I bought a R32 from auction recently, wondering if anyone knows the cars history, seems to have the usual go fast bits on it, plan is to do an engine swap- add 2 extra cylinders and 1 extra turbo. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i4rjmlzubjbwjtguh6f4s/IMG20241011140744.jpg?rlkey=q0lumm251377vknbqktfwrycq&st=7scvwx4e&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ro24qmwzlczzlfsr4y05x/Screenshot_2024-10-10-10-49-23-90_9a2f5bb2149dae94cd1e190effc09b33.jpg?rlkey=oyguh26ttshlf04ccp48odf4v&st=xloae97b&dl=0   New to forums and posting pics, if links don't work, take it easy on me, 42yrs old and I tune carburettors!!
