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

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
