What are the basic mods to gain extra power using stock parts, without having to go overboard

stock parts ??? i dont get that but i think you mean general mods without going overboard ???

get a 3" straight thorugh exhaust, panel filter, maybe a basic EBC after that its not really standard then you get your fmic's, bigger turbo, injectors, fuel pump etc etc

maybe i have read you post wrong but yea enjoy :)

exhaust = get a full 3" exhaust and include front pipe and dump pipe and hi flow cat

airbox = either get a panel filter (high flow version of stock filter) or get a pod filter (if you like the noise)

ebc = electronic boost controller or you can get a bleed valve or you can do the r33 dual stage hack in the DIY forum at http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=42895

ecu = get a $300 remap in the for sale section. will remove stock limits and should be some more power or get a full management ecu, power fc, microtech but they are $1000 + once tuned

with an exhaust and some more boost pressure about 12psi max you should have a lot more power than you are used to. if you do goto exhaust and boost @ 12psi or thereabouts be sure to get an intercooler also as the stock one will probably be inefficient. front mount with piping is around $1000

turbo would be the last thing to upgrade

once youve done the ecu, exhaust, boost, front mount the stock clutch probably wont last and will need a bigger/better one then your fuel pump could do with an upgrade, then injectors. then you can safely do turbo and get its full potential.

I've done up my 96 series 2 auto with min of cost so far ... Put a finer filter GTR panel foam filter. Cut an extra hole in the stock airbox and pipe to rear of headlight will increase intake airflow. A good FMIC I got one from Power Performance Products in Qld who make i/coolers. They make a good one specifically for skylines in that the inlet and outlets are on the same side so you'll need only a minimum of piping and can use all your standard engine bay turbo piping. A Turbosmart single stage manual adjust gated boost controller for about $95. That did wonders - the turbo spools up a lot more quickly. Gated to open @ 6psi. Have my max set at 8psi and runs great.

The next job is a 3inch car back system. I got my car set up so I can run all the stock bits ECU, blow off valve mixture and the like. and for little cost.. hope this helps.

Most important when you have everything set up a good dyno tune to have your cam belt and iginition timing including fuel mixtures re set with the turbo boost you want to run.
