I wreckon you should.

1: FMIC & 2.5" or 3" pipes

2: Air Filter & some sort of cold air induction

3: Full exaust dumpipe and back

4: Apexi Power FC Tuned with Boost controll.

Those mods should take you into the 350 flywheel horse power easy. Keep the standard turbo and only use 15 psi untill you get more money later on and bolt on the turbo and injectors and your off.

Later on you can get a GCG turbo for around $1000 (non ball bearing) and just use a malpassi and you would be over the 300rwhp mark for sure!!

I made 285rwhp with

Small Supra front mount

VL Turbo with t4 front wheel machined in ($700 turbo)

exaust from dump pipe back (standard dump)

cold air induction with K&N

Power FC

malpassi not running very much extra pressure

Water injection into the turbo

My limit was definatly the Intercooler as it was pretty small, but still a front mount.

I got a staino water can and pump with 10psi hobbs pressure switch and installed it all myself. put the hobs switch into the inlet pipe and mounted the car under the driver side front bar.

As soon as it hits 10psi the water switches on which was injected via a garden spray nozzle into the turbo blades (well just after the AFM is where i had it running into)

After i upgraded the intercooler and pipes and turbo i converted it into a intercooler water spray system.

I did some tests with the water injection, and I could advance the boost and timing up heaps with the water on with NO detonation, but as soon as i switched the water off the apexi PFC knock would go off its nut.

You gotta be carefull cos i think the water injection was part of the reason my bores got glazed because it wash's the oil off the bores... but my engine had done 190,000ks had had about 220rwkw when I pulled it down to do the rb30 conversion.

    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
    • yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
