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.

    • Welcome Jan, It's very likely that you are in over your head. You'll just have to learn to swim hard and fast! These old rust buckets have more ways to bankrupt us than almost any other car. But hopefully there's nothing wrong that ruins the whole show! We can help a fair bit. There's plenty here who've been fixing these things for >25 years. cheers
    • Hi all. First off, thanks for reading my post. So end of last season I put the car away knowing I was leaking at least two fluids. One of them being rear turbo's oil. I went to my car recently that is waiting in a garage to take a peek with my boroscope to try and see if I can narrow down the souce of oil before taking it out of storage. What I found is not so great I think. The rear turbo is (probably) leaking from the oil drain. The hose and it's clamps are probably the original ones, so most likely just worn out or loose. However I spotted a line of rust going straight down from the turbo oil feed, as if water leaked out of there at some point. Also explains the red liquid that was dripping from my front subframe, which I initially thought was power steering. I can even see coolant drops hanging off the side of the oil pan as well. After a quick hit on the web I found a select few discussions about porous engine blocks. My question is if the pics of the turbo oil feed and the left hand side of the block (imgur link below) looks like it could be exactly that to you. Maybe someone in the community has seen it before and knows what it looks like. If it actually is a porously leaking block, has anyone attempted at fixing it with simple methods like putting a sealer in the cooling system and using something like jb weld on the block surface, or will it just leak in 2 weeks again? I could not find any detailed info or pictures on this topic. If I need a new engine, tell me softly. https://imgur.com/a/knVvmZ8
    • Hey all. I'm 23 and from Germany, September last year I bought a mildly modded 1995 GTR Vspec. Looks great and was fun so far, but I already have a list of issues of various severity that I need to take care of, potentially growing longer the closer I look. I just hope I'm not in over my head, I really want to keep the car and work towards it becoming great. I hope y'all will help me out in getting there, I am positive I will need help sooner rather than later to figure out how to proceed. greetings, some pics of the car I posted to imgur. https://imgur.com/a/StKkabz
    • Would be interesting what the price would be without the barracuda wheels. Looks like he dropped it down to 40k. Maybe his mate wasn't correct about the 50k evaluation. Has always been a dream of mine to own an auto 33. Looks like I'll have to keep saving my pocket money or ask mum for more pocket money.
