Dont get me wrong,

The difference on the Orange of going MAP is amazing - I sooooooooo totally wont ever be getting another jap car tuned without running AFM-less ECU.

I guess its very close as to which costs more, its just I was thinking a 2nd hand one off the Register from someone trustworthy would be around

OK my thoughts for your 4 grand tune up;

HKS GTSS turbo's
Exhaust elbows
Intercooler hard pipe kit (do you already have this?)
Apexi PFC D-Jetro
Splitfire coil packs
N1 oil pump
N1 water pump
660cc injectors (stock rail is fine)
Nismo FPR
Driftworks oil cooler (seems a good kit for the price)
ARP head studs

Have probably gone over budget but that is a nice set up.

Lol Ian, am guessing you will go over budget a tad there !!!

Whats an 'exhaust elbow' ?

Bladerider · Post by **Bladerider** » Tue Sep 26, 2006 6:27 pm

Its the very first part of your exhaust system on a turbo'd car.

It is the - usually around 90* - bent piece that connects the exhaust port on your turbocharger to the top of the downpipe. Different designs have a significant affect on the spool characteristics of your turbo.

Yes OK i know i have gone over budget but didnt want to miss things out!!

If you pick things up second hand then im not to far off though.
I prefer the design of the HKS elbow for the RB26 as it has a seperate wastegate exhaust passage in the elbow.

Power FC D jetro (agree with bladerider here)
injectors
upgraded twins (bored out compressor housings with new garret compressors or similar) (also in agreement in keeping the twins)

or I guess could go with a large single and manifold if u wanted

and tune tune tune.

Arent the GTR fuel pumps good for around 500-600 bhP?? (please someone correct me if I am wrong)

I dont know a whole lot about Nissans so forgive me if missed something or was inaccurate on some. more of a mitsu guy.

Fuel pumps, if new, probably are but for the sake of a few quid and better fuel pressure I would spend a few quid on one. I learned last week that modified turbos off of a GTI-R are the way forwards for great spooling and plenty of puff for 600+ bhp.

Shop around and go for second hand bits if it is viable

.........that 4k can go along way if you play the waiting game

..........I can still see you piloting an externally venting single around the shire :thumb:
