Hey guys, I'm starting a new topic because I need help to get a list of (useful) mods I should put into my project car (2001 R34 GT-25 N/A) so far I'm switching to turbo instead of engine swapping, I'm pretty dead set on this I don't want to put a whole new engine in. I'd love to hear what you think I should put into the car, it can be anything from type of turbo charger to brand of fuel pump I want as much hp as I can get out of this car. I will only be using it as a show/track car and absolutely WILL NOT be driving on the road with it so go nuts with your suggestions no need to be restricted by road laws :) feel free to post any of your cars you've worked on or are currently working on :)post-141924-0-46760000-1449240239_thumb.jpeg

This ^ and then more of this.

Oh, and there is absolutely no cross over between a show car and a track car unless the track car is so successful and famous that people want to see it at a show. Choose your course of modification according to which of the two options you want to do the most and forget the other one.

Personally, my vote for you mods involves converting to AWD, fitting supercharger and f**koff big turbo, plus 150 shot of nitrous, fitting low drag (think extended front and rear ends) fibreglass panels and going for standing kilometre times

    • Not alot of room in the front or mid pipe to play with Helmholtz chambers, plus they are pretty hit and miss getting the length and volume right, and time is money when it comes to trial and error testing at a exhaust shop, it isn't like test fitting mufflers or resonators From previous experience with exhausts and trying to tone down the volume and eliminate some drone, a resonator in the mid pipe typically make it much better,  and even possibly stop Jackie complaining about it, me, I really don't notice it that much, but, I am pretty deaf 🤣
    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
