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

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

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
