off the top of my head maybe $5000 buying parts retail??

Upgraded turbo ~$1500

Upgraded ECU maybe powerFC ~$1500

Bigger injectors & fuel pump ~$1000

extras like a boost controller and other little items + labour ~$1000

oh plus a tune

whats everyone else rekon?

I have a 1995 R33 RB25 and just recently reached 198.5kw on the dyno.

Car is running:

FMIC $1000

Full Exhaust System $1200

Apexi Pod Filter - Bought from Nengun for $50

Power FC - Bought from Nengun for $950 w/ hand controller

Exhaust Cam Gear - Bought from Nengun for $180

Splitfire Coils - Bought from Nengun for $450 (Don't think it makes much of a difference)

Turbotech Boost Controller - $30 (Bought from the SAU forums)

13 psi

So all up almost $4000 excl. a couple of tunes I've had and labour.

I got 200rwkw out of my rb20 spending a lot less than that.

Exhaust 3" turbo back $700

r33 turbo hiflowed $800

hybrid intercooler $200

Intercooler piping custom $220

ecu retune an ddyno time $300

boost controller turbotech $30

fuel pressure regulator $170

fuel pump $145

total $2565.

Everything was new except for the turbo. it was a secondhand hiflow. but I have seen decent new turbos for $1200 anyway so for less then $3000 you can have 200rwkw.

the big difference in the equation is the turbo... some seem to make the 200rwkw mark on the stock turbo... mine made 195rwkw but was running way to lean so it was bumped down to 187rwkw at a safe level on 12psi....

you will need:

FMIC

Exhaust

Bleed Valve

SAFC or full Computer

every car is different... my car obviously needs a bigger turbo which i am having installed at the moment, but then you also need:

Fuel Pump

Injectors

AFM

Depends on who you know and what you can do yourself. Shop arround get second had exhaust SAFC ect to cut costs.

-Intercooler kits are gettig cheeper and cheeper around $600 for a Hybrid copy

-exhaust second hand jap brand 600-700 highflow cat and dump pipe $300 or so for both (look in the forsale section on these forums)

-SAFC 350-400 or power FC 950 with hand controller from Nengun.

-$30 boost controller off forums (search $22 boost controller)

at least$250-$300 for a dyno

regap plugs to 0.8 free if you do it yourself.

So it is possible to do it from stock for under $2500 if you can install all the parts yourself but pay for a dyno tune.

My mods and power are in Sig thats pretty close to 200rwkw.

Every can is different though but with these mods expect 180 - 200 rwkw depending on engine condition tune ect. The only thing I would have done different is I should have brought a Power FC instead of a SAFC.

:rofl:

It varies from car to car as others have already mentioned. My GTS-t had:

FMIC

Full 3" Turbo-back exhaust

Bleed Valve (9psi)

K&N Panel Filter

Bosch 040 fuel pump

Greddy Exhaust Cam Gear

Splitfire Ignition Coils

So that all up would be about ~$4k

Notice though that not many (if any) mentioned Splitfire Coils or Exhaust Cam Gear but instead mentioned a tuned PowerFC or an aftermarket turbo... Just shows their are different ways of obtaining power, some people take the easy option (better flowing turbo) and others choose to extract the maximum power out of each part before replacing it.

i have

stock turbo

pfc - 1000

nismo fuel pump - 500

sard fpr - 300

intercooler - 1300 (ripped off i know)

exhaust - 700

AVC-R - 350

cam gears - 250  

tune - 550

220 rwkw !!!!!

too easy, now to get a timeslip

either your turbo is a hiflow and u dont know it, or else the dyno was ready very high, as 220rwkw is not possible with your mods, specifically the stock turbo. maybe try another dyno.

btw. what psi were u running?

Turbo back is front pipes, dump pipes, cat, rear exhaust

cat back is just the rear exhaust.

the front/dump/cat will give you another 10-15rwkw along with much better response.

    • Cheapest option, find a NEO head. Put in good springs, decent cams, and send it to the moon. I rev mine to 8600RPM, gets me about 232km/h down the main straight at SMSP bouncing off the limiter in 4th. I've never dared to grab 5th 🥲
    • Gday mate, Personally in my car i run 450kw in an s2 rb25 so also hydraulic lifters and have always run it to 7500 RPM and using some baby 256 poncams with new but stock springs and retainers. While i cant speak on any experience with solid lifters i personally have had no issues with my hydraulic lifters which were just cleaned and set in an oil bath before assembly over 7 years ago. Over 8k RPM is cool IMO and if you are using the stock gearbox or just a box with longer ratios the higher rpm certainly could aid to maintain boost into the next gear as that was always something i struggled with as i have a 3582r also but a hypergear equivalent could aid that issue. In summary i would make a choice on the cam you want to use first then decide which springs and retainers work best with it and then you can toss up if you really need the solid lifters, if the car is mainly street i would learn towards keeping the hydraulic lifters as when installed properly and nothing too hektik going on around them they do the trick.  
    • Yucky. Things haven't gotten any better though. Now you have Emerson and Honeywell pushing these massive DCS/Scada things with proprietary hardware. They're not a PLC, they're not a computer, they're a...distibuted PLCish/DCSish monster of thing, that only they can program because they make the barriers to entry for anyone else so fricking high. And their developers are all located in the third/developing world (and India, in case anyone does not include that place in that category) and there are terrible failings of the ESl variety, of the care and common sense variety, and f**king forget about Functional Safety. Not a one of them has any idea what it means to comply with an IEC 615xx series standard.
    • All of the ECU grounds are to the chassis, the IGN grounds are to the cylinder head and i believe all the OEM body harness are left in original locations, im trying to work out if i can tell if the sensor voltage itself is losing any power to it from the very low ECU voltage. But yeah a manual pressure gauge will help in picking which path to actually chase. Also please dont bully my wiring plan i never designed it to be universally understood hopefully it still can make sense to you, im a wiring virgin.  1 thing i have just noticed the pressure sensor in question relays both pressure and temperature, the temperature reading holds nice and steady despite the low ecu voltage but the pressure reading is the one that jumps around alot so maybe it is really a pressure issue? wiring plan.xlsx
