Are these good enough

Are these good enough, don't have a lot of money but I can get these just want to know if there good enough is all

thanks

[dyl33]

You need.... none of that shit

[Cohen]

What should I get then?

[baron_von_bootsector]

Post up what you'd like to achieve (and the budget!) and we can offer some advice.

Try to set out what you want to do with the car and set a reasonable / specific goal for what you want to achieve - what you need to do / buy then flows from that.

 

[Cohen]

I wanna eventually hit 450 hp, but I've only got 1k rn to put toward it, and don't know we're to start

[Trex]

put that 1k aside. Put in another 2k and get yourself a hypergear turbo, bosch id injectors, and a nistune or something else plug and play.

[Cohen]

Plug and play like a piggy back device?

[Trex]

nope. plug and play as in, plug it in.

[Cohen]

Oh okay so how does nistune work mate

[Trex]

https://www.nistune.com/index.php/faq/faq-general

These guys can answer that more clearly. Once you're done with the general faq, move onto the technical.

[Cohen]

Will do mate thanks for the help should I get the injectors first or wait till I got the extra money to get the turbo aswell

[baron_von_bootsector]

Trex is on the money, read up on some of the other build threads or dyno results threads under "Forced Induction Performance" to see what others have done and it will prove invaluable to see what needs to be done and gives you an idea of the sort of costs / parts involved to get to that power level.

At an absolute minimum you'd be looking at:

$800 to $1.5k+ for a turbo (depending on what you want + extra if you decide to go for a better manifold)

$1250+ for a plug in like an adaptronic / nistune / link etc plug in

$600 for decent injectors

$200 for a better fuel pump at a minimum

$500-$1.5K for misc crap  for making the above work correctly or fix other problems you come across while doing it

$1k - $2k for a clutch to handle the increased output (if required)

$??? for any workshop work to fit the above (if not swinging spanners yourself)

$??? for tuning - highly dependent on who you go with

Don't need a Nintune board I have a Apexi Afc neo

[Cohen]

[baron_von_bootsector]

The AFC is a nice bit of kit when turning up the boost a little on a standard car but at ~450hp at the wheels you are going to be asking for a lot more than what the AFC is capable of safely / sanely doing. The plug in will give you much more flexibility and safety in the tune, not to mention being far easier to tune and a better base to build modifications off.

 

[Cohen]

Do you know how to use it baron

[baron_von_bootsector]

Checkout www.apexi-usa.com/manuals/electronics/neo_manual.pdf

I have never used one personally but I am well aware of how it works. The sort of modifications that you are looking at is well beyond what this would be able to handle as it is really only meant to be able to manage fueling on a relatively stock engine and not deal with massively different injectors and a much larger turbo etc.

With what you are doing the nistune is an absolute minimum and really the engine management path you take is sort of dictated by who you are getting to tune it - you will get a better result using what they suggest / prefer rather than one they dont know / can't tune properly. 

[KiwiRS4T]

If you are poor don't buy rubbish you don't need. Just try to save up a few grand and in the meantime do some reading along the lines of what you have been advised above. Sell the AFC Neo.

Just to spell it out none of the items on your list will make your car go faster.

And don't feel bad that you don't know enough - we all have to learn - some of us the hard way by spending a lot of money that could have been used more wisely - so don't be in a rush - you can't do much until you can afford a bigger turbo and the bits needed to support it so just keep researching and saving!

[Cohen]

Will do mate thanks, just got new coilpacks soon I think I'll do the belt since it's never been changed with 150xxx kilometres

[admS15]

There is a nistuned ecu for $350 and a z32 afm for $150 for sale in the for sale section right now. That would be a good start and cheap. I think it's proximity who is the seller.
