Cool thread, kinda along the lines of what I'm doing - subscribed and will share my results along the way

Hoping for a close to stock response 230-240kw, which will be exactly what I'm after

My setup will be -

HKS 2535 turbo, hoping to run around 18psi (have turbo but not installed yet)

Split dump pipe - installed on stock turbo at the moment, quite a decent length split section

Nistune - installed

Autobahn88 intake pipe - installed

Injector wise, im either going to use a set of R35 GTR injectors, from what I've been able to work out they are 560cc and direct drop in, or a set of larger injectors if I wanted to go E85

I'm guessing the stock AFM will need to be upgraded to a Z32 or R35 GTR unit

Look forward to seeing the OP's results

I had exactly this setup- particularly the turbo. It is a great turbo and I really enjoyed it. I had 17psi at 3250rpm. and it come on smooth and holds boost well. But for the HKS price tag you often have to pay for them id say you would get the same if not better results with a Hypergear turbo. ALso if you kill the HKS you have to pay the Garrett price tag for a new CHRA. If you already have it- enjoy, it is a damned good turbo. If not, spend on a HG highflow id say.

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
