New Mods Need ADVICE!!!

[zinkrb250]

What's up Fellas... I need some critical advice and i'm afraid i can't get it in the states... not enough information!

I'm about to order some major upgrades for my rb25det powered S14 and i'd like to know any other components i would need to keep my vehicle reliable and safe!

Here goes...

So far all the mods I have and installed on my car can be found in my signature (the basic essentials, 3" catback, 3" testpipe, 3" downpipe, walbro 255 fuel pump, nismo FPR, nismo thermostat, Hybrid FMIC, ACT 6 puck clutch, flex-a-lite 220s, Tomei 256* poncams, PowerEnterprise timing belt, Brand new Water pump, Tein HE coilovers, R33 GTST front brake conversion, 300zx master brake cylinder, SPL stainless braided brake lines... so on and so forth)

Now for the MODS!!!

Later today i will be ordering the following from Nengun.com

-Apexi PowerFC + Commander

-HKS GT-RS turbine Kit

-Nismo 555cc injectors

-z32 MAF

Please let me know if there is anything else i would need to have replaced, upgraded or tinkered with before i make these following upgrades.

***I am fully aware i need proper tuning and after i do the following installations, i will be taking the car to a tuner to be dynoed and have the powerFC tuned

Thanx for any suggestions you guys can throw at me!

The under bonnet temp of an RB in a S13/14/15 is always an issue. What sort of air filter, heat shielding and ambient airflow inlet are you using? For the same reason I would always suggest an oil cooler.

whats up sydneykid...

I recently just built a mock-up CAI out of PVC and have an HKS Super Mega FLow filter at the end... I have already ordered 3" mandrel bent steel-aluminized (it's a total of 3 90* bends and about 24-30inches of straight piping.. i'm having a CAI welded up by a friend (i can get away with this in the states) I routed the piping through the fenderwell and the filter is directly behind the front bumper and there is a massive hole for lots of air to flow

I haven't done any research for an oilcooler as of yet... but could you give me any suggestions on what to look for when purchasing an oil cooler... brand, model... keep in mind this is in my s14.

I forgot to mention i'll be getting the apexi boost controller (compatible with the PowerFC) as well...

Please give me any suggestions or technical advice that you have to offer... my eyes have your attention.

Thanks

bump...

would it be wise to get a new metal head gasket and some arp head studs as well?

does the PowerFC already do boost controlling or i need the AVC-R aswell????

[sproosy]

Power FC's do have a seperate module you can buy that does boost control or you can get an AVC-R. Personally id get the module that connects tot he power fc so its all controlled by the one thing.

Hope this helps!

yup cool answers my question.

i was confused cause i have seen this added boost controller addon when i look at PowerFC prices. But then i was reading threads where people have a PowerFC and a greddy boost controller and wondering why there are 2 parts.

anyways i'll make sure i'll get the powerfc with the boost controller.

thanks
