So thinking of getting an Apexi power fc with the controller for my 33 to replace the stock ecu prior to doing any power upgrades. Would the AFM need replacing? Also does anyone know what pricing I would looking at for one? And wlany suggestions where to purchase it from etc? Any other information I need to know to do this would also be helpful just trying to plan ahead so I know what im getting myself into.

Currently engine and attachments are pretty stock only have pod filter and bigger front mount intercooler.

The plan for the future:

High flowed R34 turbo

Atleast 500cc injectors

Upgraded fuel pump

(Trying to avoid doing any internal work for the next 5yrs or so)

Thanks in advance.

What you're planning is spot on for first round mods. Do the PFC and fuel pump first, you can leave the stock AFM and injectors. Id also recommend a good ebc. Get it dyno tuned from a reputable place and away you go! You'll be good for at least 200-210 kW at the wheels. Done go higher then 10psi boost or else you'll kill the turbo.

You'll have the right 'base' setup for upgrade turbo & injectors later on.

Go for 550cc nismo or jecs injectors and upgrade the AFM to a genuine Bosch z32. You've already got a front mount intercooler so you're set.

Look around here for a pfc, there's always someone selling.

Enjoy!

    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
