Im just starting out as a mechanic so im very new to modifying cars but i have a Enr34 and im looking to get more power out of it without adding a turbo

could someone suggest some modifications to it that could help it

i already have a catback straight pipe and hks cold air intake 

Basically, you don't.

Of course it is possible to get 10% more out of an NA car, but it is an expensive path. From there for sure you can get 50% if you go nuts with cams, headwork, capacity for....very expensive.

Or you put a turbo on it an run 50% more for the same ballpark cost as the 10% more NA mods.

If your a young fella on your P's, I'd say the sensible option is to upgrade other areas of the car, tyres, suspension, brakes etc.... And if your interested, start doing track days and improving as a driver. 

Once off your P's, its engine swap time (or turbo time, gearbox upgrade time, etc). 

Probably not what you wanted to hear though, sorry. 

Umm but to answer your question, your only option that makes sense is to add spray. Not a very sensible option, one of those if you have to ask, its probably not for you.

If I was to try fit a turbo kit on it would it be worth it, could the NA engine block be able to handle it and is it an affordable ish option?

 

I wouldn't be worried about the engine, I'd be concerned for your gearbox.

No turbo? 

well

Stroker crank, pistons rods, head work, high comp, valve spring retainer cams, os88 run it on nitro methane, get roll bar, get it teched run a chute and skinnies on the front wheels, obligatory green neon under the car

You'll still get chopped by a toothless crackhead with a catless stg1 barra xr6 at the lights but at least you never put a turbo on it

In all seriousness as someone above mentioned, barrage it with a ZF8hp when funds allow, it will be more fun and cheaper in the long run

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
