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.

    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
