Hey guys,

Just looking for some advice on what to start with for modifications. I have a stock r32 GTR and i am looking to purchase apexi airfilters, trust intercooler, full exhaust system and BOV's. Would these mods be a good start? Any opinions appreciated! Thanks

firstly,

cat back exhaust (or if you have the dough go for dumps, fronts, cat and the rest)

either a K+N in the stock air box, or the apexi pods if you must

then you'll want a boost controller of some kind

Power FC is next and couple that with a set of cam gears

forget the trust FMIC on an otherwise stock GTR it's a waste of time and money. there is nothing wrong with the stock GTR cooler under 300rwkw. no real need for the bovs either as the GTR alread has nice twin bovs from the factory but if you are keen just make sure you get a GTR specific kit. I quite like the trust type R kit, or the blitz super sequential is nice too. i can't stand the HKS ones though.

Yeah i was thinking of getting the trust Type R BOV's. Okay so i think i will get my Trust power extreme 2 cat back exhaust first with a high flow cat and a trust front pipe until i get paid <_< . My front mount seems a little dirty, im not sure if its still efficient.. how much does it cost to get it flushed and cleaned?

don't waste your money on aftermarket BOV's, your standard ones work a treat.

Pod filters, you don't have to, the mines car is still using the standard airbox with a panel filter upgrade. GT-R cooler is good for 300 odd kw, as mentioned above, the just jap race car still uses the stocker.

Go for an exhaust, aftermarket ECU, an EBC and some cam gears to start off with and then go from there. Next thing after that will probably be a fuel pump, clutch, maybe injectors, cams, more boost? upgraded turbos?

Anyone?

ok thanks for that! what sort of boost is it safe to run with the stock cooler? would something like a greddy emanage piggy back computer be good enough or should I go a full replacement computer? Im only looking to mildy mod my car. like 240kw or so?

the stock bnr32 intercooler should be for around 300rwkw

however the exhaust wheels on the 16 year old turbochargers wont be.

they will let go near 1.0 bar and then youll have to fork out for a new turbo (or a pair) and thats if it doesnt do any damage when it fails, which it has known to do on the rb26. more boost means more heat simple

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
