Hi Guys, Newbie here so ill take the necessary flack if this was posted somewhere before; just point me in the right direction if it was already posted.

Waiting for my 09 250GT and was wondering what options have when it comes to the following:

1. An intake system (was looking at R2C Performance and Stillen Gen3 but i don't know if those would fit)

2. An exhaust system, whilst i want the power I don't want the noise so I'm willing to sacrifice power for db level on this one.

3. Brake upgrade system (not a big brake kit) but one that can withstand hard mountain side driving without brake fade and add better stopping power.

In the end if I can get 20-30 rwHP more without sounding like a 19yr old on the road I'll be happy (apologies to all 19yr olds)

The upgrade options should require little or no modifications to the car itself.

What options to I have?

Thanks in advance.

I'm confused, if you want more performance, why did you buy the 250GT? The 350 or 370GT would have been a better option.

Sorry, not sure what options are available to you.

EXACTLY what I was thinking. Why would you bother?

Comes down to one word ... "cost"

Our import laws are based on engine capacity and age of vehicle. So on my budget it was either this or a 2005 350 GT or relatively high mileage 2006.

So with that said, im not trying to set a land speed record, 20-30 hp and some decent brakes would do me just fine for now.

Coming from a Subaru Legacy GT so need to make up for the loss of power and added weight.

Any help is appreciated.

Looking at it i figured I'd need a bit more, but this looked like the best way to start.

Any ideas, the Stillen Gen3 or R2C intakes look to be the choice for the G37 guys in the US, but I'm not sure of the fit for the RHD.

Anyone have any suggestions.

Not trying to put a damer on your question, but I am not sure if there is anyone else on here with a V36 250GT. There are a few wtih V35 250GTs, but they run the VQ25DD engine. You have the VQ25HR, so performance items might not be interchangable.

The US forums may be your best bet for further info, there are probably a few 2.5L G37 owners on there, especially as you have mentioned the items above.

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By hypergear · Posted

      Updating results following our SR20det project. Data collected form improves future turbocharger making and high flowing services. So far differences between G and GT series turbine wheels, we are in the process of making a new turbine, the aim is for better mid top range flow without gain too much lag.  Result is back to back comparison of G25-660 and GTX2867 spec turbochargers on the same car, nothing changed apart from turbocharger. Both tuned to knock limit from pump 98 fuel (US Ron93). GTX2867 was about 400RPM more responsive making 255rwkws while G25-660 made 17 extra Kws with wider spread of torque after 4500RPM finishing off at 272rwkws.

      Swapped rb25de neo how to get the gear indication on the dash to work

      @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?

      Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.

      Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
