R34 Gtt Tune Up

[mikey1235]

Hey guys I'm a newly owner of a r34 gtt skyline. It's fairly stock besides the pod filter, after market exhaust and boost controller. I'm looking to get more hp/kw on a tight budget, what are some cheap/effective upgrades I can do to it without cutting corners? When I got the boost controller out on the high performance mechanic said my car lacked pressure and to upgrade the fuel pump. Is this a wise upgrade? And roughly the hp ill gain? I have a lot of questions considering I'm new to the whole tuning process

welcome to the forum mate

to answer your questions i guess it depends on what you want to achieve with the car in general. From what you have said im assuming you dont have a front mount so that would be a good cheap start. Also im assuming the zorst is a cat back so can add front/dump to the equation for some cheap power increases.

as for the fuel pump that isnt really going to improve power thus fuel pressure and ensure you have to the fuel in the rail for the car to use.

From there you start spending money on things like injectors/turbos/cams/cam gears/ECU and the list goes on

Thanks for the reply and the welcome. I want to achieve a sustainable every day car while having abit more power in it. I was roughly going for somewhere around 250rwkw. For a front mount what type of kit would be suitable/available? Also where's a good place in the perth region to do all these mods?

for the 250wkw mark you will need to do a turbo upgrade aswell as injectors/ecu (or a remap of standard) Have a look under the forced induction sub section on here there is a whole thread on RB25 stuff which will help you and as for a front mount there is an abundance of places to buy them of the net or a local workshop

I havent been in WA for 7years now so im not sure who is still around tho all my work used to be done by hyperdrive (my car was well in excess of the 500whp mark back then) but they are great people and will be able to sus everything you need.

I would suggest dropping into the WA section aswell and seeing who is around these days in WA for your performance work/dyno etc
