Auto 2000 Rs

[2000 RS]

Hey guys and girls,

Sold my r33 skyline and bought a stagea, wanted one from the first day i ever seen one on the road.

Basically im doing power upgrades to my stag and would like some input and help from those who have allready gone down the same path as what ive done and where im going.

Here are a few pics of the car from when it come over from japan to the current day now........

I have got fitted a front dump pipe where the wastegate feeeds back into the pipe further down a nisstune board from matt at nisstune, a just jap intercooler kit. My mate anthony at adelaide jap fitted this kit, the car then went to jaustech to get the nisstune tuned.

the car was tuned at 169rwks i think that was at 10psi, i was hoping for like 200rwks or close too. I was a little dissapointed, found out the auto trans eats up alot of power, after driving manuals all my life i said my next car after a manual was to be an auto.

That means i can drive lazy and that my other half can drive the car safely, also cut back on my sliding all the time an doing power launches. meaning i have finaly grown up. Least i now can not worry bout cops so much. Im going to stick with the auto trans in the stag....

I have just recently bought a kenobi high flow cat rated at 200 cpsi as well as a standard t3 turbo with high flow internals, gt 30/76 apparently, was running on a skyline. Bill at ATS hooked me up through a boostworx customer, this customer got the turbo high flowed 4 months ago through ats. Now he has sold the turbo to me he is looking to get a GTX 30/76 with external waste gate.

The turbo is getting sent back to ATS as we speak to get a longer snorkel, does this sound right for the stageas to have a longer snorkel? Or is bill trying to rack up some more money?

Once i get the turbo back boostworx will fit the turbo an retune the car and also throw on my high flow cat, and probly get rid of the ressy after the cat an before my muffler. Might even have to get rid of my jap muffler if it stops the flow through my zorst.

Might even get some injectors thrown in and a better fuel pump at the same time, i have got a z32 afm with plug lying around waiting to go on.

So far here is a break down on what i have spent, this is not to show of but to find out if i have payed to much or to little for somethings and to get your input on things i may have bought instead.

$210 Z32 AFM with plug

$370 Dump/front pipe with fitting

$800 Nisstune with a tune

$739 FMIC with fitting

$182 High flow cat

$1100 High flowed turbo 30/76

How the car looks to this day

Hey ran a similar turbs on old set up with 550cc injectors z32 walbro pump 3"dump de cat pipe 3"zorst rear nismo cannon made 220rwkw on 18 at boostworxs. if you have not got a shift kit in the auto do it so much more driveable mv automatics in blackwood is the place. hmmmm if turbs came off skyline dont see what alteration it should need for stagea

[slippylotion]

Nice looking stag. Don't be too dissapointed with that power figure as mainlines tend to read a little lower than a dyno dynamics.

You should fit a shift kit and bigger trans cooler to help cope with the power that new turbo will make.

[4bidn1]

The more i look at that car the more i like it eye lids no roof rails nice rims and stance very very nice package indeed

[2000 RS]

Shaun at boostworx said a shift kit installed would only cost $350, so I'm keen to do that after the new turbos been fitted. I will ask about a trams cooler, how much will that set me back? Also can some one put me onto a brand of injectors that will be easily fitted the the stag? I have done a lot of research on the rb25 neo but don't remember much about easy drop in injector upgrades. I should use google to find out lol! But it's always better and price of mind hearing it from someone that is allready running the part in there car.

[scotty nm35]

Theres plenty of injector info in the forced induction section, spend a few hours searching and learning what works and what doesnt.

Personally I would go with the ID/xspurt 1000's if you can get them in there, or the shorter 750's. Where are you located?

[bigkevracer]

Trans coolers are cheap - probably $100 or less. I was at Repco the other day and they were flogging the big PWRs for ~$90.

Do like the deleted roof rail look on the C34...

I'm In adelaide

With the parts you have fitted you should be making 240awkw at least. I made that with my old S1 with a GTST GCG highflowed turbo on 1 bar and still auto trans. You have a Neo - should easily do 240awkw with stock injectors. Since you have top feed injectors you could get ID1000 injectors which have great feedback fom users.

The prices on your list look fine. What I don't see is a full 3in exhaust? Knocking the guts out of your new cat seems a waste and can make the exhaust sound tinny. I bought a 100 cell metal cat from Venom.

The other thing I don't see on your list is a new, grunty intank fuel pump - good insurance against failure and also to provide for your 280awkw! New injectors a GT3076 and a really good tune should see you there !

And look out for a GTR box - its a fairly straightforward swap.

[slippylotion]

Of you have a Jap exhaust don't bother removing the ressy, I did that with the Trust PE2 on my 180sx and made no power difference only made it loud and sound like crap.

X2 decent fuel pump.

It doesn't have a garrett turbine housing to it won't perform like a GT3076. I doubt 280awkw is achievable with a stock nissan housing unless he goes to the happy dyno place over there.

[2000 RS]

Shaun at boostworx said the turbo has garret internals and should do 280rwks on a manual, mines an auto so im sure he said id hit around the 240/250rwks.

On another note im thinking 1000cc injectors are overkill? i see other members of this forum using 550cc and hitting over 300rwks.

Too be honest with you i want a safe tune a safe ammount of rwks as i dont want to melt any pistons or kill my engine anytime soon........

Oh also my car isnt the 4wd stagea, its a RS meaning rwd only.

[bigkevracer]

1000cc injectors will give you the headroom you need to go e85 later on, because no doubt in time you will want to do this.

Price difference isn't significant either. Injectors Online do the 725cc Xspurts for the same price as the 1000s.

Might be worth PM'ing a couple of the SAU traders and asking them? I got good pricing from PHR.

AFAIK RS = Turbo. RS4 = turbo + 4WD.

LOL AFAIK what does this mean?

maybe i wasnt paying attention in nissan school for this equation.

Edited February 21, 2012 by 2000 RS

[wolverine]

The Nissan turbine housing will be the restriction, they never perform as well as a genuine Garrett housing.

[66yostagea]

As far as I know AFAIK means As far as I know ROFL

[2000 RS]

HAHAHA i wont ask what rofl means i know that one

[2000 RS]

Looks like I'm gonna need a shift kit, so sloppy the auto trans. Feels like a manual when the clutch slips.
